My daughter is 7 weeks old and she non stop cries if I’m not holding her during the day. At night time I meet all of her needs and then pop her in her Moses basket and then she cries for hours on end - sometimes even if I’m holding her (I don’t let her ‘cry it out’ before anyone asks) I’ve been using colic drops sin...

I’m just wondering if everyone feels stressed and overwhelmed once they give birth, does anyone feel like their best self, confident etc? Cos I’m looking forward to feeling confident after giving birth but don’t know if it’s unrealistic 🤣

A mom comments "I give my child everything I never had as a child. And NOW!!! he is so bratty and ungrateful ughhh!!!!' What do you think is the truth behind the moms emotions: A. Mom: 'I am not doing the healing work for myself or my inner child. my inner child is witnessing my child get the things I wish I ha...

How’re you all dealing with MILs/grandmas that want to do things with your baby for the first time without you? Example, taking your baby somewhere that you nor your baby has been but she still insists on taking them by herself. Okay, she doesn’t insist on taking my babies somewhere by herself for their first time b...

I feel bad that I’m acting so different in my 2nd pregnancy. I do love this unborn baby, but I don’t feel like I’m doing as much for the baby. It’s like nesting doesn’t exist for me. I’m EXHAUSTED 24/7 with house work and taking care of my toddler. How do I snap out of this?

Hi everyone, as I’ve been on this app and looking at other pages and things moms have been posting, I have found my heart hurting SO much. There are so many moms out there that don’t know the Lord!! I am seeing things about moms putting their daughters on birth control starting at 15 because they’re condoning sexual...

Trying to process how did ppl reached to the conclusion that having 6 mums and babies and partners next to each other, separated by a thin curtain is a good idea? I had a c-section last Monday and everything went perfect, apart from the absurd sleep derivation that we experiences after and wasn’t even because of our...

Did/does sex after birth for you hurt and for how long? I just want to be intimate with my husband again without being in pain.

My little boy who only 4 months old is really poorly atm and it’s breaking my heart big style I feel really helpless just trying everything to help him I love my little boy so much I just want to take away his pain. Has anyone else felt this way when kids are ill ? X

Guys! I am in literal tears and just need to vent/ explain to strangers because the people around me don’t understand and thinks I’m overreacting. I don’t know if it’s hormones (I had the implant for 3 years now) or just a newly developed phobia but for a couple of months now I’m so so grossed out by stuff. I had t...

I’ve read that postpartum can last for almost 7 years after having a child and it resets after each child you have. Idk if they still call it PPD at that point or just depression but I feel like I am drowning most days and still struggling to find myself again. Kids feel like they are ruining my relationship. I’m a ...

Its going to be two years this Dec since me and BD split up. He has moved on, with couple if not a few women and still on the prowl online/social media for more. But for me, its still the same. It’s still him I think about before I sleep and when I wake up. I still wait like a fool if he will message me or reply to ...

Looking for support and experience. Had a very traumatic vaginal birth - ended with a 4cm episiotomy, a 2nd degree tear and forceps. I contracted an infection in my stitches a few days after birth, then another infection in my uterus 5 weeks later. I’m now 8+ weeks pp and struggling a lot. I’m only just starting t...

How soon after delivery can you call pregnant ? My appointment isn’t until the 12th and I had unprotected sex earlier but I stopped midway

Since I’ve had my baby (I’m 5 months pp) I’ve been constantly worrying that me or him is going to get hurt. The past month it’s gotten worse I’m constantly nervous and on edge that someone’s going to do horrible things to me in order for them to leave him alone or murder is both or if we’re in a car or bus I’m const...

I’m getting my gallbladder removed on Tuesday! Finally after being miserable for months. I’m a little worried about pain/discomfort the few days after and taking care of my 8 week old. Should I have people on call or at home with me to help? Or will I be okay on my own?

hi, 5 month postpartum mama here! I had healthy/strong hair, skin, and nails throughout my pregnancy and immediately post-birth, but have recently noticed my hair falling out and splitting at the ends more. Any recommendations?

I return to work on January 2nd and I’m beginning to get anxious.. I’ve been trying to allow my family to take baby so it can help with my separation anxiety but it hasn’t helped at all.. I’m lucky that I work at the daycare baby will attend and I’m an admin so I will get to watch his classroom on camera or visit hi...

Anyone else feel the same? My baby is nearly 6 weeks and I feel like I’ve been in autopilot the whole time and now I’m feeling the sadness, I was getting myself up and dressed ready for the day but idk if it’s the weather but I’m really finding it hard to feel happy I love my little boy so so much but I’ve lose mys...

I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Is anyone else struggling with this? I'm lost. I feel so much anger and tension that I'm crying. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of ME. I'm so hateful and having insane outbursts.
