Did anyone not wait the full 6 weeks before being intimate. Even with or without stitches?

Woken up feeling really low and down. Can't stop crying and I'm not even sure what I'm crying over. Anyone else feeling or felt the same? X

I'm not quite sure where else to ask for some reassurance but I'm hoping I can find it here. In 2 days my 9 month old has to have surgery to remove a dermoid cyst above her eyebrow. If we leave it it will grow and could affect her vision and the younger we do it the safer and easier it is. That being said I'm a fric...

Does anyone else still feel they are struggling with their hormones still?

My daughter is going through her very daddy phase at 3 and half years old. Since she was born I've done the lions share of everything because its always been mummy mummy mummy. Now I don't know what to do with myself. Also feel sad and rejected after so long of imbalance. Am I normal to feel this was or a terrible ...

Is anyone else really struggling with the new born stage? I’ve been finding it really hard especially at night. I have a 1 month old girl who wants fed every 2 hours day and night. She can be really fussy and takes a while to settle again so sometimes she is only asleep for half an hour to an hour at a time. Last ni...

I lost myself. And not just an, “Oops, I took 3 left turns to go right”. Looking back, I don’t remember many details of my son’s first year of life. I don’t remember his first word. His first steps. His favorite food. When he rolled over or sat up. I remember breastfeeding. I remember my oldest daughter being ...

Has anyone in here have or had postpartum depression? I feel guilty for feeling sad, i cry at night the majority of the time. I don't want to tell nobody becsuse i don't want to feel judged.

Hey Ladies, I am a mom of two. My boy is 2 and my daughter 6 month old. I have one cousin that it’s my pair and we been together forever. Now she is pregnant and I am trying to support her in anyway because I know that when I was pregnant it was a lot going on and a lot information. She is 22 weeks pregnant and doe...

Hi, I’m still getting pain during sex and I’m now 9 months pp. My partner and I haven’t had loads of sex since I gave birth for a few reasons so idk if my body just has to get used to it again. However, it’s still painful especially when he goes in quite deep. Is this normal or should I be going to see a doctor? M...

Seeking a bit of ‘I know how you feel!’ I had my second baby in November and I can honestly say it’s been a real struggle. My firstborn is really struggled with sharing me and often results in a lot of tantrums or negative behaviour to get my attention. This often results in my first being told off by me on the ba...

I honestly feel like I’m dealing with postpartum depression. My son is a month old and last night he was screaming crying and nothing would help. My bf tried to call his mom so I blacked out, grabbed my baby and the next thing I know I’m in the room sobbing with him screaming in my arms. Today my bf decided to have ...

Why when you tell a man he’s treating you wrong they get mad instead of apologizing and asking what can they do better

My 14 year old is so rude to my husband. They used to be so close. As she gets older she is getting worse. I keep praying it’s a phase and it’s not getting better. She’s spending more time with her dad and I’m sure that’s a huge part of it. He is so toxic and she’s doing a lot of things he’s doing. My husband used t...

I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

I had baby n2 in Jan via emergency c section and it was a near death experience, I absolutely hate my birth story and I cringe or cry everytime I think about it. I’ve kept really busy these past two months so I feel like the pain is only now catching up with me. Also, baby was in the nicu for two weeks. Anyone else ...

Currently going through purple crying. Late at night for hours just him crying no matter what I do. I’ve broke down because of it. Has anyone else gone through it?

I'm living with my BD but I need to leave because he's a narcissist and stressing me and my babies out. They don't even believe he likes them because of the way he treat them.
