I was just wondering if anyone’s bubba has had a hernia, does this look like a hernia? Or a developing one? And if so what do I do, does it need surgery or anything? 😅

Has anyone lost friendships after becoming a mum? My best friend of 25 years has only met my son twice and he’s almost 8 months old. She lives waking distance from my house. She barely messages and didn’t check in on me at all postpartum (despite having a sister in law who recently struggled with postnatal depressi...

I am one of those who have no drive… but I’m super curious of those who claim to have sex before 6 weeks because you just “can’t wait”. Did you not tear during labor? Are you not bleeding or having lochia… which smells like a dumpster truck? Also… I’ve seen people say they do anal.. like people saying “we have mor...

My boy is getting neutered in February, had to postpone it due to moving house, moving vets and then the day he was meant to be going in originally I went into labour! Just wondering how long it took other people’s male dogs to be back to themselves after having the operation?

I will start by admitting I am not a great wife or mom. I wavered in my relationship and seeked attention from other men, but I finally put a stop to that bad behaviour and told myself I'd commit myself to my husband. We'd fight a lot about communication and our sex life, I'm awful at communicating, I literally shut...

Is this normal ? And why do we only talk about postpartum depression?!

Hi I've struggled my whole life with anxiety but since I had my son days ago I'm overly emotional and my chest hurts and the severe insomnia doesn't help me calm down. I had intrusive thoughts thinking that life is too good to be true. Finally my family is coming together I feel like I'm saying goodbye but at the s...

Hi! I’m new to the group, about a year ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have an aunt who has it, so my risk of getting it is higher. I wanted to gather a second opinion but since I recently had a baby my PCP suggested waiting about 8 months postpartum before getting blood work done. I’m 6 months postpartum. But rece...

So this post is a little less about my baby and more about relationships postpartum. So ever since I had my baby me and my partners relationship is going down hill. Any tips or advice. We are always arguing and stressed and he never touches me anymore or even wants anything to do with me but he’s a great father idk ...

I recently started losing my edges and hair is breaking off so much. I’ll be going on 4 months pp next week. I’m just curious to know if anyone else has experienced this as well after pregnancy. What products did you use to help the hair grow back or how long did it last for you? You’re not alone girl if you are los...

What antidepressants is everyone taking? I’m currently 8 months pregnant and taking sertraline, but I feel like it’s not for me anymore. I will be breastfeeding once baby is born so any recommendations have to be safe for breastfeeding.

I've been having what I think is really bad post partum depression. My mind seems to wander and focus on one specific thing. In my case it's an issue that I have with a family member and I can't seem to shake it. Anyone dealing with this where their PPD causes them to hyper focus on one thing? I feel like it's ruini...

This has been the worst year of my life. I’ve lost everything, my home, car, job and my daughter doesn’t want to live with me anymore she wants to live with her dad. I’m struggling so much I don’t even have anything for my kids this Christmas. Every year for the holidays I would get together with either my friends o...

Is anyone else’s baby loosing their head hair? My boy is receding like an old man.

I wish I had someone I know and trust to tell them how I really feel and not just a therapist who is paid to listen and give advice. I wish I would have listened to what my partner wanted in the beginning of our relationship so I wouldn’t be in the relationship mess I’m in right now. I wish my relationship was as ea...

Hey ladies. I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPD. This isn’t a pitty party nor am I looking sympathy as I’m sure there is soo many other mummy’s in same position as me. I’m definitely not someone to talk about my feelings as im a very strong person. I’ve never felt so low in my life like I’m in a dark hole and I ...

Sorry if TMI. But if you feel comfortable answering, after giving birth did “downstairs” change at all for you? Like appearance wise? Idk.. mine just doesn’t look the same as before and I feel so gross about myself 😕

Anyone elses LO going through the trenches of awful separation anxiety? She used to play by herself with me still in the room or I could do things around the house and shed just chill next to me. Now she demands being carried all the time, I can't even stand up without holding her without her screaming at me. It...

Seriously, how are you coping with your clingy babies? I can’t do this. Some days are like a big NO. I. can’t do this. My daughter is obsessed with me, she wouldn’t settle with her dad, she wouldn’t settle with any of my family. She cries and screams for me ALL THE TIME. I love her really much, but it’s affecting my...

Started zoloft was taking half for 1 week then went to a whole, today i feel like complete shit overcome with sadness and anxiety!! I hate this. I thought the meds were working, i had 1 good week then back to wanting to scream n cry in the shower
