Have y’all been able to have sex yet? I tried when I was 6 weeks and 2 days with a lot of lube but it hurt too much right away so has to stop right away. I was about to try again because I’ll be 8 weeks postpartum in 3 days, but even a tongue was causing me pain, it almost feels like a burning pain? Does anyone else...

Hi mamas! I am 3 months postpartum from baby girl and I also have a 2YO boy. My boy is in his terrible 2/ just being a boy.

So, about the ceo dying. Obviously killing another human being is awful but he did some disgusting things. I am in NO way defending him. I think he needed to be punished for what he has done to many families including MY family. But, my cousin who is also my best friends works for the company. She answers phone call...

My 9 month old is going through a biting phase. It used to be that she just bit me, but recently she bit both my parents and tonight she bit my husband for the first time. He immediately pulled her off his shoulder and screamed at her and then stated "I don't want to play with you anymore". He then placed her on the...

I got an iud placed at my 6 week postpartum checkup, I have had it now for almost 2 weeks. I have still been bleeding off and on, I was just wondering how soon others stopped bleeding after giving birth? I'm so over feel disgusting even if I just showered.

I was meant to go back to work in January but have extended my leave until May (unpaid) as it feels impossible to go back atm. My daughter is EBF, refuses to take a bottle and is severely attached to me to the point she becomes hysterical if I leave the room. There are only a handful of other people she is somewhat ...

Just venting I'm 6 days from my due date and I'm constantly being hounded by my mil telling me she wants my baby born now and it's getting annoying and she does it so much that my SD has started doing it. Not to mention she keeps insisting that I spell my son's name randomly so it can have the letter y in it even w...

Anyone else? I feel like my hormones have well and truly taken over. The smallest of things just set me off 🙈 also feeling guilty about my 3 year old not been my baby soon and I keep crying at how quickly he's grown up. I'm finding it all too much 😢

I don’t even know where to start. I had my second baby December 22nd and all I do is cry. I feel so guilty bringing another baby into this world even though my first is embracing it and handling it so well. It feels like I want nothing to do with my newborn and I feel like such a terrible mom. I feel like I am so no...

Is it normal to just be crying every single day for absolutely no reason! Everything feels like it’s tipping me over the edge and I can’t stop the tears! Think I’ve cried about 5-6 times today for nothing!

Hi everyone. I lost my Grandmother to spinal cancer during my second trimester, we were extremely close and it was a long and painful death. I really struggled with my emotions trying my best to not affect my baby, I found myself trying to suppress waves of grief that would come over me usually after being triggere...

I want to start this off by saying I am 10 months pp. Ever since giving birth, it literally feels like I’m re-tearing every time I have sex. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed sex. My daughter had shoulder dystocia and was 9lbs so I got a ton of stitches and had a pretty bad tea...

He somehow fought through sleep deprivation to get me help when he realized that I was going through postpartum depression. I’m so grateful for him.

I was just diagnosed last night and it was a little bit of a shock to my system, but I’m working through it and I’m grateful for a good therapist, an amazing midwife and an incredible village of wonderful women💕 because of the amount of support that I have I’m able to extend some resources or some suggestions for…

I don’t know what to do anymore. My daughter is 12 and just always rude. Says the meanest things then when she gets in trouble or grounded for it fights me to no end. Blames me for everything. Says she just gets angry and I should accept that and simply always be nice to her even when she is rude. I’ve talked to ot...

So I’ve made an effort with my lg to see her over the past few months and then we had a massive fallout (my side is that I told her she constantly chipped at my confidence and she needed to stop because she always made me feel like shit) She then she belittled me, told me she never wanted to see me again, told me I...

So I’ve gone no contact with my mom a few times since moving out and especially since becoming a mom. I hadn’t seen her in a year and I’m currently visiting at her house because I missed her and my younger siblings. But the longer I’m here the more I remember why I went no contact. Everyday I’m constantly battling b...
