Hey Mama’s , i’m new to being a single mom of a three-year-old and a two year-old. I’ve basically been doing this by myself from the start, but I’ve been in a toxic relationship where are things for healthy and then it got very toxic. From the mamas who had dealt with someone who is narcissistic and someone who chea...
I was never prepared to become a mother I never prepared myself. I never took good care of myself and now it's even worse and I am the worst mom ever. I have yelled at my 4 year old multiple times before. Today it happened I apologized and later in the night ended up doing it again. I know I'm losing her trust and I...
Need advice! Have a 2 year old. I’m 12 weeks pregnant and 40 years old. We did IVF for both babies. In this pregnancy I’ve been sick for 6 weeks straight.. every single day. It’s starting to take a toll. I feel horrible I can’t take care of my daughter. I’m starting to feel like I jumped into this too soon and not s...
Literally take a ten minute break and let your baby cry. Put them down in a safe place like a play pen or crib, tune them out and do a craft or something that truly makes you feel positive and relaxed. I was feeling so burnt out and frustrated and basically "over it" with my baby after a rough week and literally 10 ...

My mum came to stay to “help” with baby born on 30th. She got a migraine and threw up orange puke all over my £2k carpet, which I work really hard to keep clean. I’ve washed it twice with my machine and it’s not coming out. I get that it’s not her fault, but I’m pretty mad she couldn’t have made it to the bathro...
During my pregnancy my ex was horrible and wasn’t there. He would bread crumb me and then act like the nicest person. I didn’t realise the bad shift until his ex told me they slept together. It then all made a lot of sense. He told me he was stressed but I was going through my first pregnancy and I was sick all the ...

I’ve been getting tightening in my stomach and it gets hard but tbh I thought it’s my belly stretching… it doesn’t hurt but defo more that I’m 34 weeks. Is this braxton hicks?
Anyone else who has stitches I'm 9days PP and I feel my vagina is like throbbing if that makes sense. Does it mean stitches are healing? Will get midwife to check tomorrow but thought would ask if normal?
Hey guys, I’m really really struggling really bad with postpartum depression. I feel hopeless and I feel like a failure some days I can barely get out of bed I think part of the reason I’m super depressed is because I want to go to college, and due to some certain reasons in my life, I cannot go right now. I feel gu...

I have health anxiety so I know I don’t think like normal people haha. But would you see someone that you knew was poorly? With your 8 month old baby? I’m finding it really hard atm this time of year. Also do you see people that you know have been around someone else that is poorly?

Anyone else experiencing hair loss? It just keeps coming and coming after I brush my hair when I’m out the shower 😩 I had my second baby 4 months ago and I didn’t happen with my first!
We’ve been taking my daughter to groups since she was around 3 months old. We currently go to groups 4 days a week (she is easily bored so it makes the day easier) However it’s starting to feel like it’s more stress than it’s worth. She spends the whole time walking off from the activity and is distracted by other...
Before I start.. this isn’t intended to offend anyone. All I constantly see on social media is babies/kids with autism. Tiktok is filled of videos of babies symptoms of autism… it seems i can’t escape it. I’m really struggling with anxiety and always have done. But i’m so stressed/worried about my baby. I know alot...
So I feel throughout my whole pregnancy my emotions have been pretty good! I got diagnosed with HG at the start which was sooo hard but settled once the anti nausea meds kicked in! But I hadn’t got overly emotional at all. This last week though (especially yesterday) I’ve been so up and down! Spent most of yesterd...
So my newborn is now 5 days old. I have a 2.5 yo girl too who has been the centre of my world which has made this change so hard (i think harder on me than her). Baby blues are hitting hard, I feel so low because of the change up. I had 1.5 hours sleep last night as baby wanted the boob most the night and struggled ...
