My 17th month old twin 1 told me she doesn’t love me today. Yesterday she told her dad she loved him and this is the first time she’s ever said it to anyone. I’m heart broken. All day she’s refused to come near me wouldn’t even hug me which usually she does all day long 😭 I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong I…

Has anyone experienced server back pain? I went into triage with very bad pains in my back to be given dihydrocodeine. I only take this when the pain is at the worst as I read baby’s can suffer withdrawal symptoms when born. Anyway last night I was in tears with the pain, dihyrocodeine never even helped, honestly wo...

I’ve been experiencing mom rage on occasion and i feel horrible when i’m that upset or irritated. I’m also grieving my son’s adoption which has been hard still. My partner and I are intimate and love on each other throughout the day and flirt and just he’s my bestie. But us going from frequently having sex and being...

Have you had any yet? I’m 29 weeks and don’t think I’ve had any! I hear that’s normal, but just interested to hear other people’s experience!

Baby girl is 12 weeks old and I dread family functions because I know it breaks up her routine and I feel like I'm judged for always having her on me (even when taking her somewhere else to breastfeed). My family understand and don't pressure but I feel like my partners family do, I try so hard to bite my tongue! I ...

I’m sorry but why the hell do people assume just because you’re young with a baby that you didn’t want your baby? or assume you’re too young to have a baby..what gives people the right to say stuff like this oh I’m sorry? should we shove our babies back up into our womb or something..? like why do people even make c...

Two months in, and my baby's cry still makes me nervous. Every time she starts crying, I get super nervous and scared that something's wrong and that I won't be able to calm her down. I just want it to stop quickly. Sometimes I get annoyed with my husband for not soothing her fast enough. How do you deal with a cryi...

I’m just curious if i could have potentially adapted to the “flight” response when it comes to marital issues. E.g, when husband fails to have my back when his mum says mean things to me or disrespects me. (Quite a few problems have come from this). I think “yeah I can’t live like this or stay with this man who di...

I’ve cried twice in the last 7 days because of argument with spouse. First cry was around 15 minutes. Today I cried on and off for an hour. I’m worried I’m harming the baby. Almost 36 weeks pregnant. Does anybody else experienced this? Any advise would be great.

I’m 20, fell pregnant unintentionally and couldn’t live with having a termination, my boyfriend left and has a new girlfriend living his life baby free. I feel a sort of regret and mourn for my life, it feels like it’s over and I’m a sort of prisoner? I wasn’t very ambitious or a crazy party girl before falling p...

I really need some positive words right now. My baby is 3 weeks old and is quite fussy. I’m really struggling with my mental health where I feel down every day.

It’s day 3 after my C-section and my pain is really bad. And I couldn’t just get up to take care of my baby. It really sucks cause I feel like the worse mom and dad told me to send him to the nursery and my nurse told me I couldn’t do that. I just started crying cause idk how I’m gonna take care of my baby when I’m ...

Things have been tough. I think I'm starting to struggle with some PPD. My baby boy is 2 months old. I love him so much and I want to be better for both him and my fiance. My fiance and I have been struggling with communicating and being intimate. Sex life is pretty much dead and we both hate it. I've been eating f...

& I told him to fuck off🤷🏻‍♀️ Last I checked I carried the babe, I pushed out the babe, I wake up in the night bc "he needs to be able to function at work tomorrow" , I got fired bc my job only gives 2weeks off & I had a c-section & couldn't go back. He could have gotten 4 weeks off but CHOSE to stay at work. Even…

So I’ve hard postpartum sex now that I just turned 6 weeks. It’s very painful, even going slow and in slow and with lube it’s still uncomfortable and hurting. But my boyfriend does not understand my pain nor does he even care. He just wants to be fucking multiple times a day. I said take it easy and he won’t care. N...

I'm an ICU nurse. I work in a non-friendly environment, but I'm managing it, although my mental state is not always great whenever I'm at work due to how mean my workplace is. I have a 3.4-year-old child who has been showing signs of wanting a sibling. My husband and I have been reassuring her, participating in her ...

I had zero patience before I had kids and now that I have 2 I’ve learned to have more but it’s still not a lot & I feel so bad because I loose my patience easily and I get so annoyed when I’m overstimulated and I catch myself screaming at my one year old and I feel so bad. I also have a new born and he is 10 times m...

Is anyone else going through constant crying, tantrums, food rejection and just everything bad 😞 I just want to go and cry somewhere for an hour

I'm 13weeks pp and since last week my hair has been falling out like crazy. I see it everywhere! Like I know it's normal to have hairloss during postpartum since I literally didn't lose any hair during my pregnancy up until now but it's making me feel stressed out. When does it stop and how can I reduce it if I ca...
