Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for my little girl and my partner. I know I am lucky as friends of mine are struggling to get pregnant and have children.

As days approach til my baby due date is anyone else feeling hopeless or tired of waiting ? I’m always so sad and just find myself frustrated or telling myself I’ll only feel better when the baby is here, I’m getting so impatient and it’s affecting my mood

I feel overstimulated, spiritually exhausted, guilty about feeling all this way and not being happy and perfect with my kids. What should I do with these feelings? I need time for myself then I feel terrible about wanting that. I want to be a wife, not just a mother. I work FT so I just have been an employee and a m...

Hopefully, I can connect with other stepmoms who can help me navigate this, talk things through, and offer some guidance. How do you manage it? How do you stay positive when it’s affecting you so much?

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.

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...
