I am one of those who have no drive… but I’m super curious of those who claim to have sex before 6 weeks because you just “can’t wait”. Did you not tear during labor? Are you not bleeding or having lochia… which smells like a dumpster truck? Also… I’ve seen people say they do anal.. like people saying “we have mor...

Has anyone lost friendships after becoming a mum? My best friend of 25 years has only met my son twice and he’s almost 8 months old. She lives waking distance from my house. She barely messages and didn’t check in on me at all postpartum (despite having a sister in law who recently struggled with postnatal depressi...

I will start by admitting I am not a great wife or mom. I wavered in my relationship and seeked attention from other men, but I finally put a stop to that bad behaviour and told myself I'd commit myself to my husband. We'd fight a lot about communication and our sex life, I'm awful at communicating, I literally shut...

Question. Has anyone felt this extreme sadness during pregnancy? I’ve been fine but for some reason these past two days I’ve been feeling super sad, lonely, and now just feeling like pulling away from people. It’s the most odd and ugly feeling… the hormones are getting to me

So this post is a little less about my baby and more about relationships postpartum. So ever since I had my baby me and my partners relationship is going down hill. Any tips or advice. We are always arguing and stressed and he never touches me anymore or even wants anything to do with me but he’s a great father idk ...

I recently started losing my edges and hair is breaking off so much. I’ll be going on 4 months pp next week. I’m just curious to know if anyone else has experienced this as well after pregnancy. What products did you use to help the hair grow back or how long did it last for you? You’re not alone girl if you are los...

What antidepressants is everyone taking? I’m currently 8 months pregnant and taking sertraline, but I feel like it’s not for me anymore. I will be breastfeeding once baby is born so any recommendations have to be safe for breastfeeding.

Gosh do any other mamas have a tear near by their clitoris ? I use tucks, dermoplast and perinal foam but my god the stinging and burning is insane

I've been having what I think is really bad post partum depression. My mind seems to wander and focus on one specific thing. In my case it's an issue that I have with a family member and I can't seem to shake it. Anyone dealing with this where their PPD causes them to hyper focus on one thing? I feel like it's ruini...

This has been the worst year of my life. I’ve lost everything, my home, car, job and my daughter doesn’t want to live with me anymore she wants to live with her dad. I’m struggling so much I don’t even have anything for my kids this Christmas. Every year for the holidays I would get together with either my friends o...

Is anyone else’s baby loosing their head hair? My boy is receding like an old man.

I wish I had someone I know and trust to tell them how I really feel and not just a therapist who is paid to listen and give advice. I wish I would have listened to what my partner wanted in the beginning of our relationship so I wouldn’t be in the relationship mess I’m in right now. I wish my relationship was as ea...

Hey ladies. I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPD. This isn’t a pitty party nor am I looking sympathy as I’m sure there is soo many other mummy’s in same position as me. I’m definitely not someone to talk about my feelings as im a very strong person. I’ve never felt so low in my life like I’m in a dark hole and I ...

No offense to anyone else, truly. How do you handle needy mother in laws when you share children? We aren’t married but he can hardly go anywhere without her calling multiple times or getting asked for something. He was in his car to go to work here she comes asking for a ride to the store to get toilet paper, knock...

Hey guys, I feel kinda stupid posting on here cause a lot of y’all are going through your depression because you’ve already had your kids and have actual problems and I’ve not even had my baby yet. I’m 38 weeks pregnant today and I just feel so hopeless and hurt and honestly tired. This pregnancy has been beyond pai...

Sorry if TMI. But if you feel comfortable answering, after giving birth did “downstairs” change at all for you? Like appearance wise? Idk.. mine just doesn’t look the same as before and I feel so gross about myself 😕

Seriously, how are you coping with your clingy babies? I can’t do this. Some days are like a big NO. I. can’t do this. My daughter is obsessed with me, she wouldn’t settle with her dad, she wouldn’t settle with any of my family. She cries and screams for me ALL THE TIME. I love her really much, but it’s affecting my...

I had a complete meltdown yesterday I think it was some kind of breakdown, After dealing with the baby alone for 6 months no sleep, dealing with her crying day and night and whinging and teething then being unwell etc she’s a very miserable high needs baby day and night I left the bedroom put her in bed went into...

I'm a stay at home mom, 28 weeks pregnant, and of course have my 19 months old. My husband works from 5am-7pm, so I'm alone all day every day. Things are getting tough for me over here. My little girl bolts any time I try to change her diaper. It's a battle of screaming, rolling around, and taking off. I'm having to...
