Any other mamas feeling really deflated? Me and my partner are constantly falling out its like the days just repeat themselves. I'm struggling with this new identity, losing friends and not having any social life and even when I do go out for a few hours i feel extreme guilt :( My body has changed, my life has chan...

I feel like I’m happy with just one baby, I love my daughter but this experience has been really draining for me physically and emotionally, is anyone else on the same page as me? What are your thoughts on just having one baby? I feel like everyone keep telling me that I should have another one so my daughter doesn’...

Hey all Recently finished my degree and feeling a bit lost-don’t know whether it’s because there are a lot of changes happening/about to happen or because I became a bit of a hermit while studying (was a challenge on top of being a mum - tiring). Friends I do have have moved away, busy with their own lives (most s...

I'm at that stage where I just want her here but also so bored (38+6) I've got lots I could and should be doing but I'm so knackered and hurt everywhere. I'm too tired to read and hurt too much to go for walks or drive anywhere (thank PGP and painful feet for that). I know I should probably just be resting but ther...

Hi ladies. Are there any other single expectant mums out there? I am a mum of a gorgeous 14 month old and expecting my second (20 weeks). My partner told me recently he didn’t love me anymore and left. My mind is everywhere and I’m so afraid of whats to come. I don’t know who to reach out to and who to trust. Any he...

i’m always in pain with my back, i’m a single mum always overwhelmed, i find my child a nuisance at the moment and i don’t enjoy being a mum anymore, i’m trying to get over abuse i suffered at the hands of my child’s dad, i never get a good nights sleep, i can’t afford nice things for me or my child, i don’t like th...

I would love to go out more, meet other mums and take my kids on play dates but I’m a nervous driver and it stops me from making plans out of my area! Anyone that can relate? Or anyone that overcame the driving nerves and is loving life now 😅 Especially after having my second baby I’m always at home it’s starting…

Is anyone here going from one to two children? I will be and I’m so scared about being able to cope. Has anyone got any advice

Since discovering we are pregnant I have just felt so alone, like I am nothing, just inadequate. Has anyone else felt this?

Not sure where to start. But does anyone else feel really lonely being a mum? Like I become a stay at home mum not by choice I was made redundant on maternity leave. My husband works away allot. I have nothing to do with his family as his mum treated me like garbage. My parents have shocked me with how little intere...

What’s the realist truth you have received in your life. ( it could be about anything)

Does anyone just have days where they feel like the worst mum in the world? Finances are really struggling at the moment and every time we try and get help just seems to punch us back in the face yet we watch other peoples that’s better off that us get more help than what we do. All I wanna do is provide the best c...

Can anyone else relate?

I don’t have many friends and don’t want to stress my husband out more than he is. Anyone willing to chat and just let me vent about life and our struggles

I'm unsure who to talk too and just need to let it out in a safe space. I'm sleep deprived mum of two, I'm struggling with my mental health and also trying to do the best for my kids and family. I was asking for help/ researching about car seat for my little one and I made a slip up, because I'm tried and have s...

Is anyone else suffering with low mood and lack of motivation for things you would normally enjoy?

My LO is nearly 9 months old and the last few weeks have just took a huge toll on me. I’ve struggled with bonding and feeling like a parent throughout. He adores his grandparents, I live with my mother still & I just feel like they would do a much better job than me. I love my LO but just feel like they would be bet...

Just a small rant. I feel like I’ve my identity. All I do is work and be a mother. I love my baby so much and I enjoy the new life she has given to me but I don’t enjoy what motherhood has taken from me. I miss being fun and doing things. Now I’m just so exhausted even though she’s an easy baby that sleeps through t...

Hey guys so I’m 24 and I’m really struggling with my partner (also 24) being at work 9-5 all week, while I’m home with our 3 month old baby girl! It’s not the looking after her that affects me, just the fact I’m alone and always counting down until he’s home. Also just so I do have an option to have some ‘alone’ t...
