Hi moms! Has anyone had a tubal ligation procedure done? If so, can you tell me if you did it right after birthing your baby or did you plan it weeks after? I’m due to have my 2nd baby in 2 weeks, and I plan on having my tubes cut. Did you experience any pain?

My LO just turned 11 months, and over the past week, she cries whenever I'm not holding her... crying during nap changes, in the car, in the bath, in her highchair and refuses to eat, and even if I put her down when I know she wants to play with her toys, if she's not on me she won't play.... I am exhausted... is an...

Hi everyone! I'm 19, currently 11weeks pregnant and so excited for my baby! It's been a healthy pregnancy, and I have an amazing partner who supports me.

Alright guys, so I went out of town this weekend and my daughter was with my husband the whole weekend.

I’m not sure what I’m looking to gain from this post, maybe just a bit of support. The past few weeks I’ve felt my mental health getting worse and it’s starting to concern me.

How did you come back from feeling like you want to end it all ? What was your light how are you still here today?

Since becoming a mum myself, I’ve started to recognise some toxic traits my mum has and the way she communicates with me. I’ve definitely been aware of some things she does such as passive aggressive comments towards myself and my partner, meltdowns when something doesn’t go her way, extremely sensitive and emotiona...

Gosh, where to begin. I'm so thankful for my Rainbow baby. She is the light of our lives. With that being said, how do you get past the mom guilt? I want to sweep and mop my house .

Does anyone else struggle with their parents especially mums over stepping when it comes to taking care of the baby? I feel like since my LO was born my mums done nothing other than complain about how I do things, not listen to what we say, continues to do what she wants and keeps arguing with me over MY baby. I’ve ...

I've been fairly calm and relaxed this whole pregnancy but the last week I could feel my emotions starting to play up. I've cried a few times for no reason at all but today I can't bring myself to get out of bed, I had a physio appointment I've been waiting 6 weeks for and ended up in tears from anxiety about leavin...

I’m currently 10 weeks postpartum and my belly had gone down within 3 weeks of giving birth and was back to how it looked pre pregnancy but for the past 3-4 weeks my belly has bloated back up quite a lot and I look like I’ve got a bump again. Anyone else ever had this? If so, how long did it take for it to go away? 😩
