4 weeks PP on Monday and I’ve definitely had the baby blues a lot. I wouldn’t say I’m at the PPD stage but I have this feeling of this is all temporary and I’m waiting for things to go back to normal, then get the sudden ‘dread’ / anxiety feeling knowing actually this is permanent and life will never be the same aga...

I actually can’t do it. My 16 week old baby girl has been screaming for 3.5 hours now and she’s WAY past her wake window. I tried putting her down and rocking and dummy and more milk but nothing is working. She’s a very miserable child but not this bad. I’m struggling so much and I feel so disconnected from her whic...

My SIL to be is having a hen party. We're not close & it's not my cup of tea but I don't want to be hated for not attending. I've never felt I fit in with the family yet want to feel accepted. I suffered multiple miscarriages last year & it's out of sight out of mind for everyone else, they see me smile in pictures...

For those mummy’s who have already had their little ones, how did you cope with partners returning to work after Pat Leave? My other half is due back to work on Monday and it’s safe to say I’ve been an emotional wreck everyday, multiple times a day, feeling crippled with anxiety and fears of being on my own. Any...

Helloooo! My little girl is almost 2 months. I’m a first time SAHM going stir crazy but when I take her out to do normal things ( like the grocery store) it’s very overwhelming. But I can’t just sit home anymore 🙃🤣 Any one gone through this. ?

My husband is not supportive and emotionally abusive

Anyone got their babies circumsion after 7 months? Is it safe? How did they handle it

Anyone else noticed an increase in crying at 9 months?? My LO just never seems happy anymore. Suddenly hates the bath/car when used to love them! Any tips or advice, or just solidarity!!😩😩

I feel like it is forcing me to stop being lazy since I have no choice now. I have to go out more , make sure baby is constantly getting fed and my life is completely different. I know there is so much more to come and I will be a busy bee.

Does this statement really piss anybody else off? I don't want to go out and leave her with anybody yet. She's a part of me, EBF and I have no interest in giving her a bottle. I can leave her in another room while I shower. Put her down to cook dinner. If she's happy, I'm happy. I'm not ready for the anxiety of wond...

Please tell me it gets better! It’s been almost a year since this threenager age started of a never ending emotional rollercoaster of mood swings and paddying all of the time it’s literally just at the flip of the switch. I’m talking the slightest thing we’re asking at the minute to put clothes on it’s just one bi...

I’m an only child and before I had my 14mo I always wanted three kids. My husband is one of two and wanted at least two. But I struggled with postnatal depression and anxiety and only found the best treatment when my daughter was a year old. She was also a NICU baby and I missed her first feed and change and didn’t ...

So I’ve got a painful small lump on the inside of my boob. I’ve got drs on Monday but i can’t help but think the worst. Not only that I have chronic health anxiety and I swear things are getting worse pain wise. Yet if you was to look at my breast there’s no physical changes it doesn’t look different no swelling etc...

Tell me this is normal.. I cannot control my emotions, everything feels like a trigger and I’m ugly crying at adverts … I don’t remember this with my first but goodness me it’s a lot!!

Hey just have a quick question for you ladies. I am 38 w 5 d & I’ve been experiencing long periods of tightening with my belly. At first I was thinking maybe Braxton hicks but the tightening will last like 10 min or longer and goes on throughout the day. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am struggling with PPD and not a single person in my life has noticed. I feel like I could just slip away and no one would realize. I had a traumatic birth at the end of October. My baby was supposed to be born November 2nd. Anywho, I was severely injured during my delivery and my recovery has been really rough...

I’ve been with my husband for 15 years. We met quite young and I said from the start I didn’t like receiving oral. I had never received it before but was self conscious and embarrassed about the appearance of my labia minora being uneven and dangly. Anyway, no questions asked and he’s never given me oral. To this d...

Ouch?! 29 weeks! Anyone else?
