We’ve started a couple of classes recently with my LO she’s 3 months and she’s just screams. She’s not hungry, tired, or the usual tick boxes. I’m not sure if she’s just overwhelmed at the new experiences and I’m not sure what to do. So that she can get something out of them, and so she’s not just crying through the...

What was your first period like after giving birth?

Like when will my pelvic floor go back to something like normal? I’m running to the toilet and at times not making it and having to hold myself like a child. I’ve been doing pelvic floor exercises but doesn’t seem to be helping. I’m 8 weeks pp.

Any moms out there struggling with the guilt of having another baby while already having one? It’s been a rough pregnancy mentally.

I'm so beyond desperate for help with my 9 month old. I had my appendix removed. And I'm not allowed to lift more than 10 lbs. My daughter's 23lbs. My husband works 6 days a week and is out of PTO. My mother can't help she has cancer heart failure and other things. I have no friends or anyone else here. I'm not from...

My daughter had a full head of hair when she was born but it’s now thinning and falling off. She also has cradle cap, but her doctor prescribed something for that already. My question is what can I do to make it stop falling and grow back? Every day, the front of her head has less and less hair, idk why this is happ...

So my daughter was born 15th Oct and my dad passed 7th Dec. I’m really struggling to maintain my emotions, specially around my two teenagers. I feel completely alone holding in all this pain.

I’m a new multi kid mom. I have a 3 year old I adore and a 2 week old. I’m getting enraged and yelling. Blowing up on him. I scare him I can tell. I’m just running out of patience and today my husband worked until bedtime at 7 pm. I feel like no one is understanding what I’m going through. They say they want to help...

I can’t cope with any of it. Motherhood is so incredibly hard. Every single part of my life is taken over with it, I am absolutely miserable. I don’t even recognise myself anymore, I hate who I am. I am exhausted. Mentally and physically I feel broken, it honestly feels like I’m dying inside it’s so heavy. When wi...

It's out of control I need help. Lorazepam helps but I can only take a tiny tiny bit. I need every and all ideas. How long does postpartum anxiety actually last because I'm coming up to 2 years

I've lost interest in food/eating now. On top of crying almost daily, being tired, not wanting to do anything and other things. My son is the only thing keeping me going. In 5 days I've eaten maybe 4-5 times. Only 2 were meals. The rest were snacks. I have severe depression and anxiety plus minor PTSD.

I do not have any respect for my MIL. When I was still pregnant, she told me that her son will not be a good dad and will be just like his father. I cut off my relationship with her because how could you say that about your son? Anyways, we havnt seen her since October and it’s now January. We’ve made plans to have ...
