What acne helps you guys? I’m breaking out during this pregnancy i hate it

Looking for some reassurance that I’m not the only one feeling like this 😭 Before I had my baby (1 month old now) me, my husband and toddler (3 years old) had such a great routine as a family of 3. I was loving life and felt like we were all thriving in work, nursery, at home etc my toddler sleeps really well and…

So, I saw a new therapist after being cut off from my old one cause I got a new insurance, so I’m back to the drawing board with finding a new therapist I like 🥴. Anyway, so I’m super awkward when I meet someone new ESPECIALLY when I have to talk about myself personally. So, during the appointment I’m talking about…

I’m 4 month PP and still exclusively breastfeeding and the thought of having sex actually repulses me. Does this go away? I read it can be down to breastfeeding and being touched all day so I’m not sure if it’s that or hormones or what but I want to be close to my partner, just not in that way. If there anything to...

Having a baby with someone that isn’t a happy individual overall really affects your postpartum. I love my child with my whole heart and I wouldn’t change her but her father isn’t who I thought he was and I feel so terrible for my child because this is the father I chose for her. A man that isn’t vulnerable and that...

Hey girlies. I had a question about the mark on my daughter’s forehead. She was born with it, is has faded slightly since birth and comes out stronger when she’s angry or crying! I’ve googled birth marks and haven’t found anything that matches, midwife and HV both didn’t know what it was either. Has anyone else’s ...

Hair loss driving me crazy! 4months PP and in need of help, any suggestions on how to stop the hair loss?

The last few weeks I’ve felt my mood drop massively and I can’t seem to lift myself back up. Our daughter is doing really well and has been a dream since she was born. I felt like such a natural when it came to being a mum and our little family routine was perfect. Shes just had her 12 month check and everything was...

Bit of context, me and her father broke up last year and she only gets to see him like once a month because of his work (although she does speak to him daily). When she goes to his parents for the day, she comes out crying saying she doesn’t want to live with me and that I’m not her mum. She acts possessed when tryi...

How did mamas who have experienced postpartum depression/anxiety cope? what helped??

to anyone who can’t get over their bd I promise it gets better!! trust me I used to be crying all day, wanting to die, feeling I’d never get over all the ways my bd hurt me or didn’t treat me how I wanted. never was able to stop replaying all the toxic arguments, the name calling, the cheating, the lying but one d...

Anyone else just cry easily at your partners tone if it changes slightly and then you cry about it, and then you cry bc you don’t want to stress the baby out and make them sad etc I find myself just so upset about the littlest things

I just need to vent. I'm so annoyed at my baby daddy right now. I've been with my husband for 3 years now and my daughter is 5. Baby daddy was only there for her first birthday and then shortly after I left him. Long story short, he was an abusive cheater, hence why I left. We went through the court process, I got ...

I am irritable pretty much every day. Anything can easily push me to be angry. As little as my dog following me around too close and I just get so upset. I’ve noticed I’ve gotten more and more annoyed by things and am not as patient as I’d like with my baby girl. Today was the first time I just frantically asked her...

I am three months postpartum and have been my son’s primary caregiver. My husband helps a little, but it is usually been me feeding, changing, getting up throughout the night, playing, bathing, etc. I don’t mind - I love being a mom and tried for this baby for a long time. However, lately, it seems like my baby pref...
