I’m 31 weeks, it just occurred to me that we might have to make a decision on if we want to circumcise our son. Have a girl first, never had to think about this. At first I thought yes, do it he won’t remember it but then I started thinking about it and looking it up. Is there even a medical reason to do it? I’ve ...

So i was told by the father of my child that i don’t count as a mother till the child is born. It really hurt my feelings and now I’m just feeling sad about everything and it’s making me emotional. He can be a real A hole honestly 😞

We told her we are buying him a trike for Christmas next year so he has a big gift to look forward to (and we look forward to getting) She brought him a trike. We said we are getting him a cake with animals and some cupcakes for his birthday She went and brought a personalised cake with "love from nan and granda...

Hey ladies, is this normal ? Baby was not born with a lot of hair but now it seems like the hair at the back is growing with no problems but she became completely bald at the front.. I know it's very common for babies to lose hair at the back considering that they are always laying down... But never heard of babies...

I've just had my little boy just over 3 weeks ago. I've been out with my dad's side of the family, where, unfortunately, both my nana and grandad are both deceased (they would have been great grandparents). I was always very close with my paternal grandad parents, and yt broke my heart when they passed (my Nana, Aug...

Am I going to go bald or when does the loss peak?! I’m losing so much hair you can start to see my scalp.

I made a mum friend about a couple months back and we have seen each other a lot! (Play dates and even time just is mums). It was her son’s birthday last week and his party today. Yesterday I texted her because my LO was poorly and I had to give calpol and said if they were the same we will have to miss the party. T...

I’m just curious being as tho can’t have sex I wonder if any type of orgasm will interfere with the uterus healing. Although imma just wait for the whole thing to be done so it’ll be much more intense when the time comes.

My bby ddys 1st bby mma keeps asking him for money when clearly she can already fend for herself when I keep getting unnecessary details about her leaving her child behind anyways to be babysat Leaving me penniless as a ‘other’ bby mma’ for my baby I’m also a step mom

Not baby related sorry but don’t really know anywhere else to vent/ask for help! For nearly 7 months I’ve felt pretty miserable with my husband. We were great before. But since having our LB I just see this side to him I don’t like, lazy, cba to make plans with us, anger issues (not physical but shouts/screams for...

I can’t take anymore. I cannot cope anymore. I’m not sure if it’s a me problem, or a them problem! I feel like my MIL is trying to be my son’s mum! Always always judging my parenting & trying to take over. Earlier my FIL had my little boy and he was putting his arms out for me but my FIL passed him to my MIL like ‘a...

personally I find it so sick and twisted that my bd mom wants to mend our relationship or say sorry or whatever 😭😭literally 2 weeks before I give birth. As if that’ll change what I said. And for my bd to think ima “be the bigger person” is crazy. Because she had all Of 9 months to apologize and waits till after I…

So I’ve always been too nice and I feel like it’s gotten worse as I got older and have the mentality that anything could happen at any point in life and you never know the last time you’ll be with someone. I’m a huge empath I’ve realized, to a fault. I know people take advantage of my kindness and all that. I do not...

I’ve had a lot go on lately. Grieving from a loss in the family and a lot of stress from work, with a terrible manager who has lied and robbed me from this years bonus as a result. I was stressed from work before the bereavement, having taken sick leave for a few weeks due to work stress impacting my physical sympto...

Has anyone experienced braxton hicks and what did they feel like? I just had a slight cramping/contraction feeling in my bladder at 33+4 weeks but not sure if this is what braxton hicks feels like as its my first pregnancy!

Sorry about this but i need opinions from others. Ive got this so called best friend of 16 years. She does nothing but control me. Tells me i need therapy because i break down after a hard night at work and suddenly i need mental help. Yet she would call me everyday wanting to kill herself. She quit her job becaus...

Is anyone else emotional toward the end of pregnancy? I'm 34 weeks today and my emotions are all over the place today.

I’m 6 months pp and still really struggling with the thoughts I have. I won’t let my daughter alone for longer than maybe 20 minutes except my mum and nan who have both had her before and I honestly trust them. However I won’t even leave her with her dad or doctors alone. Her dad’s only been alone with her when I’m...

Raw dogging postpartum depression and rage 🥲 0/10 wouldn’t recommend. WTF is this

I had my 2 week post op appointment and my dr cleared me for everything but abdominal exercises. She said to wait until 6 weeks for those. Has anyone else been cleared this early? She gave me my birth control and said I didn’t need to go back at 6 weeks since I was all healed on the outside.
