Urghhh I can’t believe I’ve let this get to me but it really has and I think I just need to get it off my chest because I feel a little bit embarrassed. I’m in a group of new mum friends but there’s this one girls (there’s always one🤦🏻♀️) who I just can’t seem to click with no matter how polite, happy or show…
Just something that I’ve been wondering about for a while now & is a fun topic, does anyone else feel like since being pregnant they find things 1000x funnier than before?🤣 I find myself literally crying tears & gasping for air at tiktoks that are probably not even that funny but something just tickles me & once I…
Braxton hicks? Hello! I am 37+2 and currently feeling very tight belly which stays for 1 minute or so. And also feeling pressure on back side like constipation. Are these braxton hicks? Any suggestions
My MIL is obsessed that baby looks like dad. She completely disregards that she is anything to do with me, or has any of my genetics. Anything I say about similarities between me/my family and baby she disregards and says “Tom did that as a baby” or “she gets that from Tom”. I have let all the comments go over my he...
I have PMDD and I have been having episodes... (I know these thoughts are not me) Besides increasing my protein and decreasing my sugar what can I change in my diet or add that would be beneficial to having more peace of mind? I currently am taking, calcium, iron, magnesium and a few other basic supplements to enco...
I’ve started to get bad anxiety taking my 10 week old out, we get out the house every day no matter what and even if she’s had a nap, fed, been changed she’s screaming and crying alot throughout the day now and I can’t seem to settle her down. I had a cry myself today as I feel like a failure!

So.. my partner has never really had the best relationship with his mother and didn’t see her very often before we met or after we started dating. We have a 5 month old baby now. She was the first to meet our little girl (the morning after I gave birth) and was over pretty much every day for the first 6 weeks. We st...
Does anyone’s baby have an umbilical hernia? The pediatrician told me by the age of 5 it should go back in & to just leave it alone but my mother told me I have to put a band over it as the old school way. Not sure if I should leave it alone or put the band my mom was talking about. Anyone experienced this?
Does anyone with low Self-Esteem get frustrated when their husbands don't understand that it's not their fault that we have low self-esteem. Because lately I've been struggling with my husband always blaming himself for my low self-esteem that I've had since I was a child. If so, how do you explain to them that it's...
Anyone else still bleeding. I gave birth the first week of March. I know they say it can be up to 6 weeks but I didn’t bleed long with my first.
Hey mamas, I am struggling really bad. I have no one I can talk to. I am a single mom of a 5yr old, 18 month old and 7 week old. I lost my boyfriend and only friend because they started messaging each other and started flirting and talking sexually towards each other. I have been trying to think positive but the neg...
Does this exist and happen to ladies who had a miscarriage? I’ve been struggling with my mental health after a few traumatic weeks. Although I was not very far along, I was also really ill at the same time so my body and emotions were so battered. At what point do I seek help from the gp? I’ve been experiencing...
Hi mamas baby boy was born 2 days ago, 4th baby and he’s made me realise tonight that I would rather be a single parent than with my partner. Could this just be hormones or are my hormones and new baby making me realise that being on my own with my babies is easier than being with someone who a) does nothing b) can’...
I have a 4 month old baby. She’s my first. I can’t help but feel like I know and do things the best when it comes to her. I don’t want to share her with anyone, not even my husband. I’m really struggling with this as I’ve just returned to work after maternity leave and I hate being away from her & leaving her with o...
I have been with my partner for 9 years, we have a 8 year old and I am currently pregnant. We never get privacy with my mil, she is the type of person that turns everything back on you and makes you feel crazy. Recently we had a miscarriage before my current pregnancy and I found out my partner cheated on me. Not...
Postpartum was rough for my marriage. I do not feel the same towards my husband as I once did, even though I try and hope the feelings will magically return. Baby will be a year in a few days. Has this happened to anyone? How did you fix it?
I’m almost a bit ashamed to say this.. but I can’t even stand to be in the same room when my MIL is caring for our 2 month old. I appreciate her help but I get the ICK seeing her hold my baby. She’s a nice person and we are super blessed to have her help. But she rubbed me wrong throughout my pregnancy and now I can...
