Has anyone cracked the code of hair loss in mothers? I had my baby 2 years ago and I am thinking that a huge cut is my only solution at this point. I have thin curly hair past my shoulders and I have tried it all. I am back taking prenatal vitamins hoping it will help. I have reduced heat and started doing bf natura...

So my husband and I have been together for over 11 years since we were 17 and married for 5. We have lived in our own home for 4 years and just recently moved back in (temporarily) back with my parents with our daughter. So, our marriage didn’t have a smooth beginning and we actually had endured a lot of issues in t...

I’ve been getting what feels like period cramps which my midwife told me are likely to be Braxton Hicks. I’m 35 weeks today, so obviously close to baby’s due date, but not quite close enough… How long after Braxton Hicks did everyone go into labour? I’m adamant I’m having a November baby😂

Hello, can someone give me advice on Post partum hair loss? I am now bald on onside of my head and I love my hair 😥

I'm so sick of being accused of the little things my SD does for instance, she used the remote today and didn't put it back where it should be and it's now missing. My husband straight up came and asked me where the remote was and I told him I don't know, he went ahead and said who else has it if it's not me and m...

I am posting because I really don’t feel like I have a support system and I have a lot going on. But my baby daddy is no longer the man I thought he was and I feel talking to him is no good and I’m struggling knowing most likely my baby will grow up with seperated parents and I’m struggling mentally because of him.

Our baby has always been hard work in the pram and the car. She has never been able to just sit there for longer than 30 minutes or so. I dread going out places unless it is somewhere she can go off and play as she will just cry and we'll have to carry her but then she wants to go down etc, just a vicious circle. I ...

Hi everyone. I truly need some help with this. Idk if these are normal feelings, if any of you have experienced this, or if I need therapy and some work on this. Ever since my son was born, it’s been really difficult for me to be around my in laws, specifically my MIL. I don’t know them well and there’s a language...

Hi ladies, So I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant and I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with my emotions and feelings. I’ve previously suffered with quite bad anxiety and depression and taken antidepressants for it but stopped back earlier this year. I now feel that I need to be on them again to cope, is anyone else cur...

I feel like my daughter is just not happy. She seems to be upset all the time. Everywhere I take her to have fun she ends up fussing and crying. When we try do activities at home she’s not interested. Feeling really frustrated and sad

Before I could think of saving it I think I've lost half my head hair in the past 2 weeks. Only 3 months postpartum. 😭😭

Last night my husband and I had sex for the first time since our son was born. Did anybody else feel like the only thing you could focus on was how weak your pelvic floor is? I throughly enjoyed the foreplay, but when it came time it didn't hurt, it just felt like when you strain to lift something heavy but in my p...

Postpartum hair loss oh my good god, I’m going to have 2 hairs left by the end of the year at this rate. Is it the iron? What vitamins is anyone taking that’s helped? Products? Treatments? Help!! My 30th is coming up next year and I’m going to be bald 🥲

I’m 4 and a half months postpartum and the last week I’ve been so unhappy with my hair and it’s just making me so sad, it falls out when I touch it, wash it! I have extremely bad dandruff making it look horrible and dirty😭 my hair on top is shorter than my actual hair and it’s just all frizzy😩 I could cry honestly…

I'm feeling so guilty for how impatient and irritable I feel. I have a 2 and 4 year old and starting to feel like I'm annoyed too often. I love my girls sooo much... and also struggle to manage how quickly I feel overstimulated. We went to a football game tonight and I felt my anxiety spike, couldn't really watch ...

She decided her due date was the perfect time to arrive 😊 7lbs baby girl born 6th of October 🥰 I went from first contraction to baby born in 5 hours and when I came in to the hospital I was already 10cm and everyone thought baby was gonna be out quick so no pain relief but gas and air would have time to work.…

I feel like a failure.. I don't regret my baby at all, but I wish she had a daddy. I wish I could've had the proposal I always wanted, the wedding I always wanted, the pregnancy announcement I always wanted, a happy pregnancy experience. I know comparing myself to others is useless and only painful but, fuck it's so...

After two years of emotional and mental abuse from my MIL, my boyfriend and I and our two babies finally moved out last month out of her home. I feel better not living in fight and flight mode anymore, however I feel traumatized from what I experienced in such a short time. Anyways, ever since we moved out.. we sta...
