I have post partum rage and I desperately need help. I've tried therapist but the only advice I'm given is i need someone to help give me a break. I don't have ANYONE. I'm completely alone. I have 3 kids and I never ever get a break. I don't have money for a sitter. Can anyone please give me any advice that doesn't ...

Am I being silly? So recently I’ve noticed I’m crying easily and things are just upsetting me even it’s not such a “big deal” so for context, I’ve been at my mums since 20 weeks bc I’m on bed rest you could say my sister and me got into a little tiff and mind you it’s happened every time I come here. She was trying ...

My husband makes comments that I hardly ever initiate sex anymore. Honestly I haven't given it much thought bc I've been dealing with a really extremely low libido. So when he would initiate, most of the time I would just go with it. But I get what he's saying to me. Like bc he initiates sex with me he is able to ma...

When did your period start again after birth?

I am a first time mum to my 10 month old baby girl. We moved 2 weeks before Christmas to a more permanent residence. I don't feel like it's a home though. It's a new build so we're in the defect period meaning we cannot pain or put nails or anything into or on the walls including painting them. It's like our furnitu...

My daughter is nearly 18months and there's only a few weeks left until her brother is due. Her behaviour lately is just so challenging. Everything just turns into a tantrum. My head is permanently banging. Ive read countless stories and advice about how kids feel the most comfortable at home and with their mums so...

Anyone who has had their march baby yet, have you hit the “excessive crying” phase? I’m 3 DPP My milk came in today and I just cannot stop crying over little things. Mostly like I’m doing things wrong or when I look at her I get so emotional because she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! I feel so silly but ...

Hi did anyone else get late PND? My son has just turned 8 months old. When he was first born I loved being a parent, it made me so happy and took to it so easily. Now I find it really overwhelming. My son is always crying or whinging. It really grates on me. I love him to death but getting sick of being around him. ...

I know many of us are going through postpartum hair loss. Just two days of using the ordinary, multi peptide hair serum and brushing my hair with a mason Pearson hairbrush and this area, which was completely bald is starting to have growth! What are people doing for their hair loss?

My lo doesn’t go to nursery my mother looks after her when I’m at work, when we are back together she becomes quite emotional and sensitive which I am of the understanding this is quite normal, my mother obviously finds this irritating ‘as she’s fine with her all day’ can anyone else relate?

How do you get back in track when your relationship has become toxic? We have love and had a great relationship, we were a great team but since we had our baby almost 2 years ago and life giving us a few curve balls we have become toxic. I don’t know where to start but would really like to fix us. Thanks

Hi all, Does anybody know when to start using a birthing ball? Is this just for the end of pregnancy or to start using now? (31 weeks)

So I felt my self down there, and it doesn’t feel tight. I wanted to try sex with hubby but I feel like it won’t be enjoyable for him as I’m not tight. I want to do pelvic floor exercises which I haven’t dedicated my time to. Will it get tighter eventually? And how long will it take?

Have you gotten back into it yet? Would you say it feels any different? We are trying to get back into our groove but it feels so different for me. I mean yes it’s expected I just gave birth to a tiny human but I’m wondering how long does it Rand for it to feel somewhat normal and tight again

I think it’s really important to make people who are feeling alone aware that a lot of us struggle! So I’m starting a ppst so we can all out ourselves on things we’ve done while struggling! For me, I was petrified to give my baby a bath! She didn’t have a proper bath until she was about three months! I was so anxiou...

Just struggling. Baby dad has basically abandoned us. No contact and it hurts. He’s missing my baby’s life while being there for the girl he also had pregnant at the same time as me. That absolutely devastates me. How he can be present for one child and go out of his way to be there. But for my child he’s never put ...

In the newborn trenches with PP anxiety and baby blues around evenings snd night times. Baby won’t go in her bed and is awake all night long cluster feeding or just refusing to go down. My boobs are in agony. I hate myself for feeling this way because I love my baby but I can’t believe this is my life now. I knew...

I really wish I had a bestfriend relationship with my mom, but that’s not the case. I love my mom, I know she loves me too but she always plays the victim card. She never takes accountability for her actions or words. It makes it hard for me to freely talk to her. I thought that having a kid will help me get closer ...

Hi, I’m a FTM to a 8 month baby boy and am 24 years old. My best friend who I’ve known for 15+ years was pregnant during my last few months of pregnant and she delivered her baby boy in feb 13. Unfortunately, her baby boy would go into liver failure a few days after being at home. After returning to the hospital and...
