I have a two-year-old and an extremely difficult seven month old. My seven month old screams all the time, never let me put him down when I’m holding him he pull my hair, spits up on me. I feel like my depression is getting so bad that I just stare at walls zoning out and crying while they just scream around me, I ...

My baby is 4 months old and a lot of people have commented that he seems happy and laid back. When family members of friends' babies are with strangers, I've often seen them get upset and want to go back to their mum. My baby seems really chilled with strangers, however, and when I went for coffee with a friend he'd...

Hey mamas so I’m 1 year PP and after giving birth I did not take wearing belly binders and massages seriously now all I do is regret it but what I want to know is let’s say I’m to get pregnant again and then I actually take it seriously the second time round would I get my pre pregnancy body back as in the body I ha...

Anyone feel one and done because of postpartum? I wanted so many kids before but don’t think it would be fair on my kid for me to go through it again

Is anyone struggling with this phase? My baby just turned one and he is constantly crying. His had a few colds and his jabs which made him a little unwell but nothing pleases him. It’s really getting me down. He will cry on every nap and wont go down to bed for hours. Cries and cries when previously self settled. I’...

My baby is 6 days old I was nursing her in my bed and I dosed off and dropped her on the bed will she be okay? She didn’t cry or anything but I feel bad asf

Anyone else struggling or has struggled with feeling really stressed/down in general? I feel so guilty for feeling like it but I’m just a bit fed up of Mum responsibilities at the moment and trying to keep ontop of the house and everything else as well

My mother-in-law just got the call for a transplant, which is such amazing news. I’m truly overjoyed for her. Naturally, my husband wants to be there for her surgery and stay a few days afterward, and I absolutely think he should. At the same time, I can’t shake this anxiety. I’m too far along to travel, so it woul...

This is so dumb lol, but I just wanted to come on here and brag on myself a tiny bit. Not really bragging, but i’m proud of myself haha 😆 I had my baby back in early November, but I have had quite literally no sex drive since July (or somewhere around there). So we hadn’t had sex since I think July or August of…

Single mum here. Whenever my baby cries I can’t stand it, it brings me to tears as it irritates me so much and my baby won’t settle unless they’re being walked around the house. It getting to the point where it just to much for me, don’t get me wrong I love my baby so much! Does anyone else feel the same way and how...

I get jealous when I see and hear people say that they couldn’t have survived their PP journey without their mothers and or sister/sisters…. Cause my mom doesn’t care when I try to open up about how hard my PP has been and that my doc seriously thinks I got a lot of signs of PPD. I definitely have struggled with dep...

Anyone else feel like you and your baby are so behind on everyone else. My daughter just hit 10 weeks but we can still barely do any playing and tummy time etc because she's just not one to be happy long enough. She talks and smile with me but she's never shown any interest in anything else really. I feel like other...

I need someone to tell me I’m not a bad mom and here’s why…. I’m a stay at home mom due to medical issues and can’t really work because of it. My oldest is in school which helps but my youngest is an October baby and has been with me all the time I got her a babysitter to watch her 4 days a week but I feel bad about...

Rant/moan incoming (sorry!!) My daughter has just turned 16 months and I'm 32 weeks pregnant with #2. I thought I was tired before but my god I have never been this exhausted in my life. Fortunately the pregnancy itself has been quite straight forward and didn't have any sickness/nausea but physically and emotion...

My baby is just over 8 weeks old. They're not a super fussy or colicky baby but there's still random unexplained crying at times, and overtired crying can be quite intense. I keep hearing that this will improve by 12 weeks... Is it true? Really struggling to enjoy the good times at the moment as I'm anxious about th...

My mother in law is staying for 6 weeks I’m a week in and my partner is mostly at work and it’s just us she is just speaking French at me and I’m using an app to understand her she takes the baby out of my arms keeps asking to sleep with the baby at night which I find possessive then is not safe with the baby she wa...

Venting here because I'm pissed about something I saw in a mom discord and I don't want to be a bitch about it but I have to get it off my chest. We all have "Oops" moments. Baby rolled off the couch. Toddler fell down the stairs. Toddler got a hold of something they shouldn't. It happens. No one is perfect. An "O...

my baby is 10 months old and i wanted to start going to the gym for an hour a day and leaving her with my mum. However im worried that her being separated from me each day will cause her to have negative impacts on her development. Any ideas if this is the case?

Hi all, first time mum here to a beautiful 5 day old. I love him to pieces so equally just want to protect him and have been feeling really teary/ emotional today, worrying in general about anything happening to him. Has anyone had this or has any advice please?

My mom has this weird way of indirectly calling me a bad mom and won’t stop no matter how many times I ask her politely to FREAKING STOP. I sit here and play with my daughter and read to her all damn day. I do tummy time with her and all that. When my daughter is asleep I go into my room and play a game or take a na...
