I’m nearly a year postpartum and I have so many random health conditions since. I have liver issues, joint pain constantly and my back is in bits always. I’ve developed an intolerance to alcohol also (which could be linked to my liver, but never have been a heavy drinker) so it’s all up in the air. Like I feel 60 in...

I'm pregnant with my second my first is a toddler. My first I suffered really badly with postpartum depression and psychosis. As I'm closer to my due date it feels as if myt firstborn is unbearable again and I feel the mindset I was in before coming back. The birth of my firstborn was very traumatic and I'm terrifie...

Let me preface by saying i hate crying. Nothing wrong with those that are brave enough to cry in front of others, u just personally never really do it. But… Starting the day i was getting discharged from the hospital after my birth (C-section), I just have been so emotional. I bawled my eyes out that same night aft...

Gave birth end of June and still haven't had sex with my partner. Both him and I have no desire to do it, absolutely no way to get in the zone, we tried once and we stopped before we even started as we just didn't want it, it felt forced and fake. Anyone else in a similar boat? I want intimacy and desire to come bac...

So when I was about four months pregnant, I asked a woman I used to spend the school holidays with to be my baby's godmother. She said yes. About a month later, I had my baby prematurely and she visited two or three times. She bought some toiletries, food and clothes which I appreciated. She brought her second hus...

My kiddo is 12 weeks today, and she doesn't have much hair on top of her head but on the sides and the bottom low half of her head.

We got stuck in bad traffic today, my almost 4 mo cried for about 45 mins, almost continuously.. nothing I did was helping much. I feel so terrible and can't get over that awful feeling of not being able to go to her and cuddle her and stop the crying. My head says it's fine, no damage done but everything else is li...

Hello, I have noticed that when my baby is being looked after by someone else and not with me, I hardly think about them, like I'm not beside myself or texting the person to see if there okay. I also have noticed if someone is holding him or entertaining him that's not my partner I feel just numb/like as if a switc...

I feel like I don’t have anybody in my life that I can turn to or trust with anything. I confided in my mom and she turned around and used it against me and made it all about her and it’s really messing with my head. I’m going through so much right now me and my husband separated and I don’t work I’ve been a stay at...

I feel like my hormones are shifting. Or maybe because I changed my diet drastically for the better. Or maybe because I started exercising more (only been a week 😅) or maybe because my son is sleeping better at night more consistently but I’m finally starting to feel better. My son will be 2 in December. When did…

More of a rant post really lol. So my LG is almost 8 months and recently she is reluctant to go to people she doesn’t know well. I’ve had a few people say now comments like ‘oh my baby was never like that’ or ‘I’m so glad I didn’t have a needy baby, my baby would go to anyone’. I think I’ve being oversensitive but i...
