I am super anxious tonight. My thoughts are dreadful. I am worrying about everything. Worrying that something bad is going to happen.

Tomorrow will be one week since we welcomed our first son into the world via induction. Admittedly i went into this pregnancy with no knowledge or understanding about babies and had to learn every thing. Every day since giving birth around 4pm I’m so emotional, overwhelmed that this tiny person now relies on me, mou...

I’m having trouble letting a friend go. But when I got pregnant with my first and now with my second and I’ve told my best friend. She gets so distant with me. Like I don’t hear from her as much and things just start to fall off. It really bothers me because I don’t know why.

If yes, did you take a towel for your hair or did you just let it air dry ?

I don’t know if I’m just mental(bipolar) or if I’m actually just tired/ready to be done with my boyfriend. I guess I should make a pros and cons list, but even then I’m sure I’ll just try to convince myself I need to leave him no matter what I may logically put together. Am I just scared and using each argument as a...

I love my baby SO much, he’s 2 weeks old and the love of my life. I’m wondering if any other mummies feel overwhelmed with their newborn through. I’m having to pump as baby has tongue tie, and I still don’t feel confident in looking after him by myself. My parents have been amazing and spend a lot of time with us. A...

Hey all! My partner has just gone away for three nights for work and I’m extremely distraught about it for some reason. Since he left this morning I have no stop crying and already miss him. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do to cope.

I’m close to telling my partner I’m done for a while with our relationship because I’m so pissed off at everything and so is he and I really feel we’re just not happy most of the time anymore and it’s not healthy for our kids

I’m 5 weeks postpartum, I stopped bleeding at 4 weeks but then 2 days ago I started again. I haven’t had intercourse yet I’ll wait it out for week 6.

I’m 5 months PP and tried having sex for the first time in ages. It was so uncomfortable and it didn’t help that I was petrified! Has anyone been in a similar position (quite literally) and can offer me some advice?

It's after midnight where I'm at and I just got the call from my uncle that my mom passed away. Due to the time, I don't have anyone else to talk to and I need to get this out. I woke my husband to tell him and he comforted me until he fell back asleep. Sorry this is gonna be long. I haven't been able to tell my bro...

Does anyone else's baby really hate being around other people. Or in other houses. We took my 5 month old to a small gathering at my in laws and she just cried when anyone tried to hold her. She's done this twice now with the same people. She's is really good with my family. Is it a phase ?

Hey all… just want to vent about my hair loss. It’s so bad I’m losing multiple clumps daily. My hairline looks like it’s receding and my widows peak/where my front part begins looks grey like it’s been buzzed. It’s so distressing and I feel incredibly insecure, especially as I have a big forehead and hats don’t real...
