Please tell me I am not alone with struggling with 3year old behaviour. It is actually making me feel like a really bad mum as I end up shouting, and we both start crying I will say that we are have lost her nan in the last few weeks and we've tried to explain that, I think she realises she's missing and trying to...

I’m struggling so much at the moment with anxiety. Every waking moment is spent worrying about something to do with my little boy. I either worry about an illness, or that he’s drinking enough or weeing enough and I feel like it’s affecting my bond with him because I’m in a constant state of anxiousness. Even feedin...

Snapped at my mum when the baby was crying because she offered “want me to hold her?” Made me feel inadequate or like I was failing to calm my own baby, when she was really just trying to help. Has this happened to anyone?

Mums with your first child.. what are you going to do when the time comes? So I’m currently pregnant with my second and my 1st is 4 yo, it’s just me and hubby, no village. Hubby’s family is overseas. This bub is due 5th of July but we’re getting a planned c-section. I’m an only child and my mum is in her 70s ...

We were so over the moon to be pregnant with our second after our little boy. Especially to find out it’s a girl. However we make HUGE babies (measuring 2 weeks ahead). Everything the last 4/5 months has just been pain. I have pre existing conditions as well and the support from the NHS and my doctors has been appal...

I’m so depressed atm 4m pp and I can’t do it. I have no one to tell cause I don’t wanna worry them or don’t want people thinking I can’t cope, but the only thing that stoping me from ending it is my baby boy to the point I don’t want anyone to take him for a few hours or babysit for the day cause I’m scared I’d do s...

I feel like I may have always suffered with anxiety, but having children has definitely heightened it, and I feel like it had started to affect my relationship with them

Anyone got any products or tips to help with postpartum hair loss?

How is everyone dealing with the post partum hair loss?? I can’t describe how much I am shedding - just clumps and clumps everywhere! At this rate I’ll be bald in a couple weeks! I’m taking collagen and hair vitamins, but any other tips greatly appreciated because I’m fed up of finding hair everywhere- on the floor...

16 months old and my god I love this little boy more than life itself but I find this mum life so hard! And then feel incredibly guilty for finding it hard! I think I get the guilt pretty bad as it wasn’t an easy journey to get this little one. Anyone else still feel like they’re muddling through, not really knowin...

Ever since I became pregnant I’ve just hated the cat hair everywhere. My baby is 1 month old and my husband’s tired of hearing me complain about it. Idk if it’s just a temporary thing but I almost have a rage fit when I see cat hair on my baby’s face or near her mouth. Anyone else hate the cat hair temporarily??

I have a 12 month old, and can’t see myself having anymore. I would love to experience pregnancy again, but dreading the thought of how I felt postpartum…Anyone else completely done at one?

Just curious has anyone gotten their period back since giving birth ?

Looking for scriptures, YouTube videos, podcasts, etc to help me get rid of “fear of man”. Anxiety has been attaching to thoughts during this pregnancy. Right now it’s fear of others using things against me to tear my family apart. Thank you 🫶🏼

I am a first time Mum to a beautiful 10 month old, she is absolutely amazing , so clever , such a kind heart already…. but I am really struggling. I don’t really want to go into detail here. But Could anyone recommend an anonymous online forum to chat to someone or any advice on how to try and get past this? I fee...

I got a 3rd degree tear when i gave birth (they had to pull out my daughter cause her shoulder was stuck). It's been 18 months since then and the scaring is still so painful when having sex. Yes i've seen my OB since then and yes i've gotten consultation. I was told that the nerves down there remember the traumatic...

I’m 41+1 with my 2nd baby. My first came spontaneously at 40+5. I have so far declined sweeps and inductions as I’m wanting no intervention. Yesterday and today I have been going into the hospital for monitoring/scans due to declining the induction. Since yesterday morning I have been having some intense tightenings...

Not quite sure how to approach the situation, but i got a text from my sd mom saying she's no longer comfortable with my sd calling me mommy and has asked i correct her to my first name or some other nickname, when she's been fine with it for the past two years. A little background, I came into my sd life when she h...

how are yall dealing with depression while pregnant? i have prenatal depression. I have to force myself to get up and be okay but my mind doesn't stop. it was like this for my 1st kid also. much worse for me than post partum. I'm not sure why. maybe the hormones.

My lg 5 months is usually the smiliest, happiest baby but this past month has been absolute hell for me and my partner. She is screaming and crying for no reason at all, by screaming and crying I mean it sounds like she’s being hurt. She’s not hungry, she has a clean nappy, she’s being entertained with toys, music, ...
