I'm 24. Gen z. I've got a 2 year old toddler and am pregnant and due in September with my second. I'm married, have a job, have a decent apartment, and overall am doing ok.

I know a lot of women deal with post partum rage, but lately I havenāt been able to get a handle on mine. Iām losing my patience over every tiny thing. My dogs make me so frustrated all the time which kills me because they were my babies before my actual baby. I just feel like Iām always on the verge of boiling ove...
Is someone here just like me with second degree tears? I gave birth 3 days ago and still feel some pain and lot of disconfort down there, although when I wee or poo it doesnāt hurt but I try to be as gentle as possible ( I didnāt look there as I might be scared š«£) I wait for it to be healed and feel better .. do uā¦

Idk why I feel like I need to share this. I'm not for looking for a pity party here. I was venting to a friend and she called me right away and we both just sobbed over the phone. I'm 2 under 2... motherhood is hard. Anyone else struggling with childhood trauma while raising their own children? You're not alo...
My 14 month old has recently become comparable to the devil! He is honestly awful, heās gone from being the happiest little man to just moaning constantly in the space of a week, I know thereās a lot going on for them developmentally at this stage but is it normal for them to be like it 24/7? I feel like Iām doing s...
How are people coping with afterbirth pains and pains from stitches etc? I had a second degree tear with my last too but I do not remember being in this much agony. Finding it hard to walk around at all and getting up and down from the bed/sofa is excruciating. Paracetamol is doing nothing and Iām allergic to ibupro...

She is excited and she is trying to do everything which I am appreciative of, but I feel like sheās overstepping. When we first shared the news she stated that she needed to get things for her hous...
