My mum and I have fallen out 🫠 I'm going through a lot of stress at the moment, in the past 5 weeks my partner has started taking antidepressants, has grappled with dark thoughts and has been diagnosed with PTSD.

I don’t no if it’s just me or other mums feel like this. My LO has recently had sepsis around 4 weeks ago was really poorly in hospital and he has now been back in hospital for a few days because he has RSV.

I feel like such a bad mother I have a 16 month old and a 2 month old and today I fell down the stairs with the both of them. My knee locked up and caused me to live my worst nightmare. I fell forward with my babies and I held on to them as much as I could but ended up on the ground without them. My 16month old lip ...

So I'm feeling so hurt at the moment.. so my husband randomly asked me to send him daily photos of our new born (tomorrow he will be 1 week old) while he is over seas. I logged on to my fb and saw I had a message from his best friend (they've known each other since they were like 5 years old). We are pretty cool but...

I’m 3 months postpartum and my mood swings and emotions are getting worse. My baby has colic and silent reflux so it’s not been an easy journey by any means and I often put it down to exhaustion when I have a meltdown, but over the last couple weeks my moods are getting worse not better. Yet I was so calm in the fir...

My son texted his girlfriend that he wished I was dead. All because I took his phone away for not doing his chores. He doesn't know that I know. I'm hurt and angry and I'm not hiding it well at all. I don't care if my kids don't like me, hate me, can't stand me.... but to wish I was dead. That really hurt.

Genuine answers please? My baby is 2 months old and recently found out my baby's father has a girlfriend I'm unsure how long they have been seeing eachother but I know if I were to try and ask he'd get mad at me and act like I'm crazy. The whole reason I'm concerned is because I don't want my baby having anything to...

Does anyone else feel like they’re losing their mind? My baby is honestly the best. She’s always happy and smiling and she doesn’t really give me problems. So why do I feel like everything I do is wrong? I’m constantly thinking about everything and I feel like I get no break.y husband does an amazing job with helpin...

I left my baby in the swing right next to me as I worked on my computer and noticed she was struggling when I looked she had her little teddy bear/snuggly buddy on her face and it was suffocating her she then started crying as soon as I gasped and took it off. I feel so so bad and like a bad mother honestly . My bab...

Hey lady’s this is my first time posting but I just have a genuine question, does your man get bothered by you crying? Or does he comfort you? Cause mine tends to just ignore and and seem unfazed and I don’t understand it. It’s really hurting me mentally I’m a huge empath with an every sensitive/ emotional soul…

I’m 24, a little over 2 months postpartum and I’m 15lbs up from my original weight. I knew my body would change and for the most part I don’t dislike my new body but I don’t feel as strong as I did before. My core is not as strong and my hips ache after what I would have called a short walk prior to giving birth. ...

Hey ladies, I think my husband is jealous of the attention that is going towards the baby. We have a 13 week old and my husband sometimes makes these weird comments that leave me feeling that we don't prioritize our daughter in the same way. Today, I asked that we switch off the TV while I feed the baby (for li...

If I ask my husband to stop doing something that’s bad for him so he don’t show our son bad habits . And instead of hearing and understanding he tells me not to tell him anything and leave him alone . Then will send me 100 text messages about how terrible me and my family is ( mom and brother) says the most vile sh...

Hi! Really looking for some advice. What can safely be prescribed to a breast feeding mother for panic attacks caused by postpartum anxiety ? My doctor is saying nothing and suggesting talk therapy which I just don’t have time for, she also said SSRIs are a no go. I’m confused because according to my research there ...

My toddler (17 months) just fell back and bounced onto my belly. Anyone else had experience of this? I’m worried about baby. I have no pain and it didn’t really hurt when my toddler fell on me.
