I honestly can’t even explain how angry I feel 24/7. The rage is insane. I know some of the things I get angry about are minor but I just can’t help it. I’ve struggled mentally since having my son and it’s just not getting better. I reached out to the GP, I had a telephone consultation with a male doctor who basical...

Anyone else dealing with the worst separation anxiety?? Cries when I leave the room and wont stop, I can even put her down in her cot because she wakes up and cries! I literally could do all of this a week ago!

I’m 4 weeks PP and for the first couple of days I felt on top of the world. I then had days here and there where I was tearful but now I’m in a state of constant down. I’m obviously tired, feeling angry sometimes, wanting to isolate myself but then knowing I need help. I’ve also got a 21 month old who I feel horribl...

My grieving my baby really hard this morning the pregnancy hormones isn’t making it any easier. I just don’t understand why I deserved to lose my baby. I did everything right, I’m a good mommy, my babies are loved beyond words and well taken care of why did God take my baby from me? I don’t get it. I owed karma an...

Does anyone feel like they’ve just well and truly had enough! Work is killing me off slowly with the demands and pressure of the business, my pregnancy has been nothing but a constant battle of either illness/sickness/aches/pains/tiredness or generally just crying for the sake of it. My poor husband must of well and...

Oh wow the newborn bubble is different this time round. I am riddled with guilt over my first not having all my attention. After a section even when he can get it I can’t do what I usually would and pick him up and cuddle him. I miss putting him to bed at night and doing his naps and I miss him even though he’s alwa...

It’s. All. Day. Long. She just wants me right there next to her 100% of the day. She was NOT like this as a baby. She’s also just so mad? Throwing her binky when angry, throwing her bottle, shoving everything out of her way. Like I’m kind of scared of her 😭😭😭 Any other child hitting their teenage years early? She’s…

Do you feel like there’s been a change in certain areas of parenting where now some things are way more normalized than a few years ago? I had my first in 2020 and I bedshared from the start, nursed to sleep and never sleep trained. I feel like with her I felt like I was doing things SO WRONG because everywhere I lo...

I have a 2 year old daughter and I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my boy, is it any different having a boy in terms caring for them? Did you circumcise? Do they eat more?

I only work 3 days a week, but my little one has been non stop poorly since September with various things. I’ve had countless days off work with them, been in the hospital, doctors appointments, countless days not moving from the sofa etc etc. It’s really taking its toll on me mentally and now I have anxiety and a...

I am currently 10 days postpartum & my sex drive has been high since having my baby. I did get 5 stitches . Can I have sex already or should I wait ?

Has any experienced a pelvic floor prolapse after birth?

I feel like my incision is sensitive again now that I’m pregnant with my second and I waited 2.5 years before trying again. I’m just concerned whether or not it’s normal or does that mean it wasn’t fully healed?

I really want to move out of state .. everyone keeps telling me that I should wait but honestly what’s the point of staying someone where your already doing everything by yourself yk ? So I decided I really want to move out of state and start my life . I know my parents will not be happy but .. lol they don’t help m...

Very personal question but I’m really wondering how long after a vaginal birth does the hole go back to a relatively small one if it ever does? I feel like a chicken 😭

Omg ladies! What is everyone doing about this postpartum hair loss?!?!! I am loosing so much it’s painful to the soul 😭

For me, it’s just another level of craziness and just having a cry out just because she ain’t getting her way or what not. It’s hard enough because I can’t physically move as fast nor, keep up. How are you all managing?? Mentally coping?

I had tearing during delivery and was wondering if they actually heal and close up or if it heals and left open. Mostly asking cause where the tear is is still painful. I stopped bleeding, I'm just feeling pain when I move, like sitting or getting up or even getting out of the car.

Hey! Just curious as to what everyone else’s partners are doing to help them through the first trimester. I’m really struggling with mood swings, fatigue and nausea. My partner is being helpful-ish, but he gets moody when I have my mood swings. I’ve explained that I’m not choosing to have them, it’s hormonal but I d...
