I've been feeling a bit low the past week. I feel a lot of people are excited for us and have been very generous and ask how I am and of course the answer is good.

Since I’ve had my child back in 2022. I feel like I lost myself. I don’t know how to be social anymore. I never have anyone to watch her so I can have a night to myself.

Does anyone else struggle with solo parenting all day? And I mean from wake up to bedtime. I want to relax during the rare naps we get during the day but just can’t. Family and friends don’t check in. Just feels very lonely

Hey, I’m a first time mum from Cardiff. My little boy is 10 weeks old. The past few weeks I’m starting to feel really lonely, my partner is in work Monday to Friday and most weeks I’m not leaving the house until he gets home or on the weekend! Friends have slowly disappeared. I am hoping to go to some baby groups ...

“We're all in this together. It's okay, to be honest. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to say you're stuck, or that you're haunted, or that you can't begin to let go. We can all relate to those things. Screw the stigma that says otherwise. Break the silence and break the cycle, for you are more than just your pa...

I suffer with anxiety and mild depression. I’ve never told anybody this, and everybody just thinks I’m laidback/lazy.

It’s really affecting...

I have a few close friends, I'm a ...

After almost 3 years of trying for number 2 i am barely holding on. I am so so so grateful for my son.
