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. I don’t want to continue picking up the phone an expressing my feelings when nothing will change at all. At the end of the day, I never expected it to be like this. ...

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...

Hey guys, I’m getting extremely worried and don’t know if it’s hormones or my existing mental health issues causing the overthinking/ stress. But has anyone felt super lonely and like you always have to reach out if there’s going to be any communication between someone- especially between my partners family. I’m...

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

How do you all find parenthood? I have a 16 month old and i feel like im the only one who gets really overwhelmed and finds having a child hard. 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...

Hey lovelies! I’m really struggling at the moment, I have two boys 11 and 9, and a little girl who will be 1 on Saturday! I’m finding it so intense at the moment: my littlest one is going through sleep regression and I’m so exhausted but filled with guilt that I’m not putting my all into being a mummy because I just...

I go back to work next week after a year off with my nearly 1 year old I'm going back part time and she will be in nursery on the days I work I know everyone must find it hard but I feel SO down about it. Like I've cried every day the last few days thinking about it. I dont particularly like my job and work from ...

Who else is spending NyE totally alone and scrolling on social media is the worse thing to do at this point 😭 I don’t usually get fomo but damn! I am hoping it’s just hormones but feeling so low rn, baby girl asleep next to me and hubby fell asleep on the sofa 🫠 can’t help but feel lonely! 💔

Anyone else just feeling really down spending new years alone? I’m 39 weeks pregnant I have a 8 year old at home with me, so making it fun for her. Recently just became single so just finding the whole staying at home by myself a little bit down.. normally I’m fine, thinking I’m just pregnant and lonely and it is ne...

How do y’all deal with the mental load as a sahm? I feel like my brain rarely gets a break. There’s always something to add to the household lists and there’s always a task to complete. Are there any easier ways to organize the to do list in my brain? I already write things down constantly, but if I’m too busy to ge...
