I’m 2 weeks away from giving birth and my man and I got into it physically after he snatched my phone out of my hand. And so I’m leaving on birthday on Monday cause that was the nearest flight I could get. But I’m so heartbroken I don’t wanna leave. Is it stupid to feel attached because of a baby?

Me and my long term partner split up 8 months ago and this will be out first Christmas not altogether as a family 😭 I don’t know what I am going to do 💔 I have no one but my kids and I’m going to have time away from them which I really can’t handle 💔 feel like ending it all 😭

My husband made me feel lonely first pregnancy and I’m feeling lonely this time as well. Last pregnancy he was playing so much video games and it’s picked up again this pregnancy.

Why do I feel like I’m just so bad at being a mom. I have 2 boys(4 and 1) and I just feel like I’m in survival mode 24/7. I feel like I have zero patience.

I'm not sure if others feel this way. Because I didn't have any sisters (only brothers) & I couldn't tell or ask my mom everything lol Back story: i am the youngest & only girl.

I asked my best friend what’s changed since I had a baby…. I thought being off work I’d see her loads more, if anything iv seen her less. I’m still able to leave my baby for weekday dinners as I pump, but when I pointed it out I got “I’m letting you just adjust to life” my boys 5 months old, I’m adjusted as much as ...

Hey 🥰 Since me becoming a mum, My best friend of about 15 years has become so distant. I have tried so hard to make effort & reach out to her , she picks & chooses when she wants to talk to me. She has seen my baby once in 3 months & barely asks anything about them. Same when I was pregnant, we hardly saw each…

How do people do it (separated) and doing alternated Christmases with their kids. I don't have any other family and me and their dad don't have contact. I can't imagine being away from them and on my own. It's effecting me emotionally. Any positive advice or experience would be helpful.

Anyone else feeling ugly since becoming a mom? I feel like I never have time to even take a nice long shower and just get ready.

I am quite an outgoing and social person and I feel like my life's completely changed. I'm grateful for the pregnancy I really am, we tried for such a long time, but I just feel so alone.

You know, during christmas, we spend so much time working our butts off and doing everything that it really has left me feeling so lonely. I have friends, but you never see them around this time of year too much. If you're a working mom, it's nothing but work and try to get things done and stress out and anxiety a...
