Currently 7 weeks today. I just became a single expecting mother-to-be last Friday. No matter how much I talk to family and friends I still feel alone.

Good morning everyone! I’m an accounting professional in Nashville, TN and recently started a new job this week. I was fired from my job back in September and really felt discouraged and disappointed. One thing I’ve always been is a hustler, but it took a while to believe in myself again. I lost a job I was miserabl...

As a 30 something woman I’ve lived a bit. Got 2 kids and had some decent jobs and moved around but also got into some debt which I’m slowly paying off. Im not working (by choice) and live modestly and I’m happy with that. I’m not materialistic at all and I’m much better at budgeting than ever before.. I have 2 f...

Is it best to say it out loud or in your head? Can you repeat the same things or should you try to look for new things. Do you do it morning or night. Any tips appreciated. Thanks ladies 🙏

I really struggle staying indoors all day with my LO. And realistically we always go out even if just for a walk round the block. Today we've got an important parcel coming at unknown time (they can't leave in a safe place) so we can't go out. Is this feeling of having to get out the house every day normal? I know m...

Feeling very lonely past few days, I’m a single mum and it’s just always me and baby never really bothres me but past few days just feel really down

Sometimes it’s hard being a mom especially with limited support around you. We don’t have family that is accessible or willing to be there and it is hard to make mom friends. It is hard to see other moms who have such a great village around them and to watch them support each other. It makes me feel like something i...

Does anybody feel like something big not bad is about to happen?

My friends seem to cope well whereas i feel lost and constantly miss parts of my 'old life'. i love her so much and don't regret her at all, i just don't know why i seem to...

I sometimes feel guilty that I’m only going to have one child. I feel bad for my LO, anyone else feel like this? I know it’s okay to have one but I can’t seem to shake the thoughts of this.

Is it normal to miss your pre kid life? I’m starting to miss it a lot , missing having fun and etc . I don’t really have close friends so it’s hard .

Hi mommas, my LO is 3 months now and suddenly my social life feels 0. :( If you’re on the same boat as me, hit me up and let’s chat.

For some reason I really really really want baby number 2 but it is such a bad idea. Financially we can't, the space is not enough, I want to spend time with my now 1 year old before we have to share her time and attention with another. Plus I don't fully see myself as a mum of 2, I feel like it'll be too much for m...
