I’m 2.5 weeks post partum and my partner and I have just resumed having sex, my sex drive is through the roof as is his, I feel like we’re in the minority but it felt right and wasn’t painful or anything, anyone else out there the same?

So right now my 2 month was awake and content and I was watching the new show forever I didn’t think anything of the show bc it honestly isn’t as explicit as I thought it was and I went downstairs real quick to eat something since the baby was calm and took the chance I came back upstairs and it was a sex scene! L...

Ladies, I’m 30 but so sick of still getting the eldest daughter treatment my whole life. Too much to go into detail but iykyk. It’s hard :( and always has been. I feel like my family therapist and they don’t care for me until they want something, and when I need someone no one is there. I feel like they literally do...

Not sure if this is just part of the 3-month stage, but my little girl has been crying loads lately — especially around 9 PM. Last night she cried non-stop for about an hour and a half, and I couldn’t figure out why. No fever, no gas, she wasn’t overtired, and her wake windows seemed fine. But her crying just kept g...

I'm 20 weeks along. Had an ultrasound yesterday and found out my baby is a bit smaller than she should be. Today I'm just finding it hard to really feel much emotionally. I'm also finding it hard to keep from being idle. Idk if I wanted to pay this just to put it out there to feel like I'm not bottling it up; or if ...

my baby is two weeks old today and i’m just panicking about every little thing, i absolutely hate night time as that’s when i worry the most and constantly have to check he’s still breathing. he keeps getting a blocked nose which panics me even further and i honestly just feel like im driving myself crazy, my though...

So about two days ago I found out I was pregnant with my fifth child and in the moment of me finding out I was completely unsure if I wanted to keep the baby because I just had a baby in January and I feel like my life is just getting back on track. and before anybody say it, yes I was on birth control but anytime I...

My friend recently had her second baby. Her Mom helps her out M-F so she's having a hard time being alone with her children when her Mom can't come over. I'm a SAHM to two children and offered to help if ever she needs me-- that she can drop them off here if she ever needs to. She was thankful. Well she followed up ...

Someone please tell me I’m not alone. My baby will be 4 months old next week and for the past week or so, all she does is cry. And I mean that very literally. She’s been fed, burped, changed, she’s been played with, we sing to her, he walk around with her, sit down with her, we bounce her in our arms, we cuddle her...

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I just want to go into labor I'm so ready to hold him I want him outtttt does anyone else feel the same way

Finally went to the doctor's and came clean about my drinking and everything. Got put on antidepressants and they want me to try counseling my only issue is I don't know if I will even be able to afford it since I'm going to have bills for the doctor and meds already to deal with.

I am only 10 days post partum, I ended up having an extremely traumatic C-Section. I have had no issues with bonding with my boy and getting into the swing of motherhood. I love it already. But I cannot talk or even think about the birth without feeling a sense of trauma and fear. I know my hormones are all over t...

I hate our neighbor she’s sweet but anytime we come out she won’t leave us alone. She also tells my daughter to put items down like sticks and her paci and such. We were trying to swim today and I cut it short because she wouldn’t stop bothering us. She stands at the fence talking to us and telling my daughter to sw...

Oh my gosh, I love my beautiful baby so much. I always thought I wanted to give her a sibling but now I’m feeling like I want to be a one and done. Pregnancy was really hard for me and my c section was traumatic because they didn’t numb me properly and I felt everything. And I’ve been feeling like I want to focus on...

I had a nurse visit me last friday and we had about an hours discussion about my mental health- i had to explain everything I've been through since being 2 years old and i feel really vulnerable she told me i would get a call back on Tuesday but I've still not heard anything im currently living with my partners fami...

My baby's hair never fell out (besides the excess on his forehead lol) but in the last week I've been noticing his hair on his bed where he lays and his feeding chair. Is baby hair fall a thing? I'm worried about it being a vitamin deficiency. He's 7 months (4 months corrected age as he was born 12 weeks early).

I’ve had a few mental breakdowns over the past week. My husband and I have rowed so much I don’t know where we are heading, I’ve been rock bottom and my little girl has been seeing all of it. I can’t get out of this when I’m in the thick of it and I don’t know how to stop and I feel utterly and completely shit and l...

I don’t really know what I’m hoping to gain from posting but I feel like I’m at breaking point at the moment. I have a 22 month old, my partner is in the military and is working away at the moment so I’m solo parenting and have been for a while now since he left. My toddler point blank is refusing to nap in the day ...

I want more babies. I’ve not actively stopping it from happening (other than breastfeeding- period hasn’t come back yet). I grew up an only child and hated it- I want my daughter to have 1-2 siblings to grow up with. My husband doesn’t want anymore but knows I’m not on BC and knows it could happen and we have sex a ...

I’m so anxious about going back to work to the point I’m having panic attacks, I don’t want to leave my baby. I have no one I fully trust to leave my baby with, my mum insists she will keep her for me but she does not listen to a word I say in regards to her routine and what she needs, we’ve had a couple trial days ...
