Is anyone still losing a lot of hair 8 months postpartum? What can I do to help stop or decrease? I’m still struggling with hair loss 8 months in, everytime I wash my hair I always end up throwing a massive ball of hair away and it doesn’t seem to decrease in amount. I’m at the point where I can see the short hair...

I have a 2.5yr old and a 3mo old…my baby is an absolute angel he’s so sweet and always smiling but my toddler I swear is trying to make me hate her I truly don’t understand why she keeps testing the limits the way she is. She doesn’t listen to me or her father for anything…I’m sure some of it is jealousy toward her ...

Anyone have past struggles where they just couldn’t be happy in the present always thinking “if this was this way or if that was that way” or “as soon as this stage is over,I’ll be ok” and then it passes and you’re still unhappy? I’ve felt a sudden realization that I’m this way and boy it’s upsetting. Anyone have ...

I am sure I was molested as a child (around 6/7 year old) by a female relative but I really can't remember the details. I have blocked the memory and as I have never opened up about it to family members cos I am not 100% sure. I am 33 now and having kids my heart hurts that such a thing happened to me so young. But ...

Anyone else been diagnosed with strep B? I’ve been full of worry as soon as we found out 2 weeks ago and I’ve not seen my midwife yet so not had a huge amount of reassurance. Please do not comment with horror stories as I’ve already heard them and really could do with something positive! Here’s my little bean kick...

Hello, This is my first post, and I’m a bit concerned about my relationship with my baby. I feel like she is frequently upset when she’s in my arms or that she just wants me when she needs to be fed. I don’t have (or at least I don’t think I have…) an emotional connection with her yet, but not because I don’t love...

Hey so I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant with baby number 2, my little boy is 17 months old and I am finding it so hard to cope with my anger, I feel so bad for my son I feel like im constantly shouting and always so upset all the time, I feel like such a terrible mum, when he cries I just shout and get more angry and ...

This is my third period and it’s really heavy. Will it eventually go back to normal in a few months ?

Can anyone please help with postpartum hair loss, my hair just seems to non stop come out! Any recommendations please😫💞

At what point should I check myself into the hospital/ER? I have been feeling quite helpless and hopeless. My marriage sucks. My son doesn’t really give me happiness as there is no major bond. I feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed everyday. I hate life. My body hurts all the fckin time. I’m exhausted. Nothing...

Supposed to take for postpartum depression but I’m not sure I can manage the two week dosage. I’ve seen someone will have to care for the baby at night.

I’m unsure if it’s just me and I hope what I’m feeling is normal but in the beginning when my baby was small and a new born I totally understood why everyone wanted to pass our baby around for a cuddle. He was small and cute and cuddly and although my hormones made me want my baby back I did it so everyone can get a...

My nearly 9 month old had a bumblebee back/head support on and she fell from a sitting position and smacked her head on the floor as they bumblebee slid to one side. She cried immediately, I can't feel any sort of lump, and she's really grouchy now crying a lot. Our nearest hospital with a child a&e is an hour away ...

Asking because I'm considering getting it done after I give birth this summer or early fall depending on how things go

Some mom posted that gerber food was 50% off in the store . I commented that gerber has active lawsuits for the metals and other bad things in the food that are causing autism and other problems with babies and children. They got mad and said I’m shaming them for their choice to buy gerber. I thought I was spreading...

My daughter is 5 months old on Thursday and as of yesterday, she hasn't let me put her down to do anything. I can't even get myself something to eat without her sobbing until she can't catch her breath. For context, my kitchen and living room are the same room, she can still see and hear me. I've tried talking t...

I’m actually a little embarrassed to even write this post but hoping it’s a safe space to let out some feelings. My 4 month old daughter prefers her Dad and it’s crushing me. She absolutely lights up when he comes into the room, chats away to him, follows him around the room with her eyes all the time. I know she d...

My body is so sore from carrying my baby and doing things with her. She's 6 months now and think going onto 8kgs. My right arm is sore. Last night my whole arm was painting. My feet are so sore. My back is sore. Feels like my body is giving in. Anyone else experiencing this? Honestly too tired to stretch or exercise.

I’m almost 9 months postpartum and me and my husband have sex 1-2 times a month. Is this normal? I’d like to have sex more often, but he doesn’t seem interested. He blames it on the baby sleeping in bed with us (as if there’s not other areas of the house). Idk… just feeling undesired and ugly.
