i’m a first time mom and still in my first trimester, so i know i’ve got a little time to try to figure stuff out. but im so terrified that my bpd outbursts are going to continue after my baby is born and im terrified that im going to traumatize them due to my own struggles with emotions. i’m working with my therapi...

I’m currently hiding in my kids room cleaning it while I’m crying I just need a big hug and of course I have no one

Hello, I’m 3 months postpartum, and I’ve started losing my hair 🥺 is there any tips to help with this? I feel like I’m going to be bald soon 🙈 Thanks 🫶🏼 xx

I’m feeling exhausted, low in mood and nauseous all day. I have a 17 month old who’s good as gold and fortunately pretty good at independent play but I’m still finding it so hard to cope with first trimester whilst looking after him. My husband is amazingly supportive and takes over as soon as he finishes work but I...

I had therapy this afternoon and I had a headache and have generally been feeling pretty awful but she said I seemed cheerful and talkative and I was like yeah I have no idea why 😂. Then I got back in my car and realized I had been listening to the song Doodles by Rose Betts. And I just can't be upset about…

Is anyone else feeling this way? I feel so guilty I am not enjoying this when I wanted this baby so bad. We’re about 2.5 weeks in now and I love my baby I just don’t feel happy about it or her

Does postpartum affect men deeper than women? They are the providers, they have to deal with lifestyle changes too..

Hi ladies, I hope you’re ok Basically, I was just wondering if any of you had an epidural and how you found it? When I had my little boy, we were back to back and the pain was unreal so now thinking ahead for baby #2 Thank you 🤍

I dont know what to do. Part of me wishes my husband and I would have gotten dog or a cat instead of having a baby. I love my son to death but i cant take it anymore. Hes always screaming ALWAYS SCREAMING ALL THE TIME. We live in a studio. So theres no time for just me and my husband. Its really affecting our marri...

I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this. I have absolutely no interest in intimacy, especially sex. My husband wants to do things and wants me to be more physical (initiate hugs and kisses) and I said I would try, but I just can’t. Thinking about it makes me want to cry. And I feel so bad because I know ...

Just to give you context myself and my grandmother have always been really close (like go out with each other weekly etc) anyway - it was my babies 1st birthday and invited family to come (bar one of my cousins) who is extremely toxic not just with her mouth but physically. I didn’t want her there at the risk she wo...

Hi everyone, I’m unsure on what I should do. My mother in law has been very selfish towards me lately, and I feel lost. I’m only 7 weeks pregnant but the stress she’s adding onto me right now is crazy. She’s making decisions for me that I don’t want to do, and when I get mad about it I’m the one in the wrong. I told...

I’ve recently just found out I’m pregnant again! I have an 11 month old and was just wondering what people’s thoughts on it are and how they found the age gap? Me and my partner are both happy but I’m worried about having two so young and how hard it’s going to be

Does anyone else struggle to use tampons postpartum? I’m currently 3 months pp and used to use tampons only but now when I use them I get an awful heavy feeling down there, as if everything is about to fall out and pressure in my clit. I only get this feeling when I wear a tampon as switched to pads and it’s fine now

Don’t get me wrong I love my girls to pieces but I’m finding being a parent particularly hard right now and with a PPD diagnosis it’s tough trying to be happy right now even through lack of trying with affirmations and self care. I have a two and a half year old and a 4 month old and my last pregnancy was hard and ...

Hi, so just to start off my mother-in-law didn’t really bother with me during my pregnancy if anything she called me dramatic when I was suffering with morning sickness she invited herself to our gender scan and I just really don’t like her at this point, my baby is nearly 4 months now every time we go to her house ...

I recently made a new mum friend who is absolutely wonderful, she’s so lovely and we get on amazing which is nice as I don’t have any other mum friends. However, she does alot of things wrong… I’m never one to question people’s parenting but she does alot of things unsafely; forward facing in carrier as a newborn, w...

Experiences on recovery please?

Gave birth on 23rd and was recovering so fast no pain no complications. Had 2nd degree tear. Today I pick up something heavy which mid moving it I realized my mistake but felt I am half committed so finished the move. Honestly wasn’t that heavy just for my current situation was too much. Like couple hour later bend ...

I don’t know why I’m even posting really. I just need people to talk to. I’m just really struggling mentally and physically, I’m so drained and worn out but I just keep going. The last 2 days my 2 year old just doesn’t listen and hitting and throwing toys, my 8 month old is unwell with a few things and the house wor...
