He’s not the type of man who gives compliments or really says anything encouraging or positive about me. But he’s more the type to have banter and just poke fun at me or say something negative.

Hi y'all, I'm a new mom on the spectrum. I would lied if I said everything is pink. My husband sadly doesn't understand that because in his head, no way I could have autism. I have to take care of a 3 months old alone 90% of the time (from 6am til 10pm). It gets overwhelming sometimes. Any tricks you can give me?...

My MIL for some time now refers to my little girl as "granny's baby" and when she talks about herself to her has called herself "mummy" and I just find it really inappropriate. She usually corrects herself straight away but I'm sat there thinking, is that what she calls herself when I'm not there? Today my daughter ...

Every doctor says that’s bad for the baby but I’m emotionally going through a post partum depression after losing a baby (October through December) and also through a prenatal depression being pregnant now (3 months) none of them where planned and I was even on birth control.

Anyone else taking 2 business days to finish!? (Being dramatic for effect) I’m 6 months postpartum and when I’m in the zone it usually takes me a few minutes.

13 days PP and I keep randomly bursting into tears for absolutely no reason. It’s nothing in particular, my PP journey and recovery has been a dream so far, baby boy is so good and my partner has been the best support and daddy I could ever wish for.

It’s me, hi. I’m the problem, it’s me… 🥹 I previously posted about scheduling a 39 week induction, and the hospital just called and confirmed my appointment for April 13! Now, I swear this is what I want, but I have not been able to stop crying and I am essentially having an anxiety attack. A complete…

Hi! I currently just got diagnosed with bipolar while I’m 32 weeks pregnant. I’ve been struggling for the last two months with my mental health. Are any other moms struggling the same way or have been through the same stuff? I just don’t want to feel so alone in this or crazy.

Hi Ladies I am struggling with hip pain while laying on my sides I switch throughout the night and usually scream a bit? Is this how painful birth feels? Thank you so much if you have any reliefs please let me know :)

Anyone else feeling extremely guilty, I can’t give my baby the same attention that I gave my first and I’m honestly racked with guilt. I just feel so bad that I can’t give him all that attention. He’s a little behind on some milestone (not anything to worry about) but I can’t help but feel like it’s my fault because...

Has anyone experienced a traumatic birth? Did you receive support from a birth afterthoughts service? Was it helpful? I am in the process of this but scared to be re-traumatised. Tia

I’m wondering if I’m being overly anxious about leaving my son with his grandparents on my partners side. For context I was only having to have words with my mother in law a few weeks ago due to breaking boundaries in many ways including with my baby. She claims that she doesn’t do this on purpose and it is ‘clumsi...
