I'm 3 weeks PP, my Husband returned to work this week but my Mum has been coming over to help out. We're still trying to work out a routine. My little girl won't really settle for a nap unless she's on me. I've felt really teary and homesick for a couple of days. I love my little girl so much but I also feel like I'...

Hear me out! I'm enjoying my newborn and finding out feet over the past couple of weeks has been full of love albeit challenging! But one thing that I wasn't prepared for is how mundane and boring it is, newborns are boring! Lol. Is anyone else finding the same or should I feel ashamed in thinking this?

Is anyone else feeling a bit lonely at this time? I have told a few people about the pregnancy but it's still early and there have been a few complications so I don't want to share with anyone else. I keep having to lie about not drinking or not attending things and people are even trying to plan things for later ...

Hi mamas. I'm currently a stay-at-home mum to a 18-month-old boy. I'm really struggling now with loneliness. For some context, shortly before having my LO I moved with my husband to a new city for his work. I have made a couple of mum friends here over the last 18 months, but I can't say I'm very close with anyone h...

Okay how are we making sure we take care of ourselves while also taking care of the family? I have a 19 month old and 7 week old and I don’t even feel like a person anymore. I made sure to get my hair done before the baby came and managed to tear myself away for an hour to get a manicure to try and fight off the ppd...

Does anyone get this like weird feeling of like emptiness, loneliness, and sadness out of the blue and your mind just rushes with so many thoughts like you can’t control it? Well, that’s how I feel right now and I’m not sure if I’m depressed or if it’s just like a hormonal thing of postpartum.

Anyone feeling so snappy? I am usually quite a chill person. I work part time in a high stress job and also have a 2 year old at home so life is very busy. I snapped at someone at work today and am now a-bit embarrassed. Also snapping at my 2 year old and feel so bad- usually pride myself on being a gentle parent,...

After nearly 5 years of marriage, I feel like my husband and I have grown apart. We still love each other but it’s not just the same.

i feel so alone and broken i’m not a single mom but i always feel like everything i do im doing alone w no care or support

Anybody feeling anxiety?

My mom is healthy and only an hr drive away but I tend to miss her so much every day. I feel like I have strived to be so independent that I have not connected with her after I had moved out of her house. Now I am realizing I miss that bond that was so strong I have been reaching out and visiting as much as possible...

I just want to disappear….. I don’t want to adult…. I don’t want to be a mom…… I don’t want to be a wife….. I just don’t want to be here anymore… whatever that means…. I’m just done, I’ve had enough…

I work as a CNA, and I hate it. (I never said I don’t do my work well). Thinking of quitting 😭😩, but I need more

I am a 23 ftm & I had my daughter at 22 in November of last year & I feel like I’ve lost friends bc I’m at a different phase in my life than them. Being in your early 20’s everyone is still partying & doing their own thing & figuring out their life. I get dinner once in a while with my group of friends that is mixed...

Has anyone had issues with family being distant once you had the baby, but while pregnant everyone was so excited and ready for them to be here? I feel like I give every opportunity for my family to see my daughter but when they have the chance no one shows up or they show up on their own time.

My almost 2 yr old has always been clingy to me but lately she has been wanting certain people more than me. It makes me so sad, is this normal or am I doing something wrong!

Found out yesterday my dad has cancer. I'm beyond devastated. However, he had a cuddle etc and then went out to his friends for the night? Is this normal? Or should he be a bit more intuitive to think i need support right now. Or am I asking too much

Does anyone live with their baby alone and isnt working? Is it difficult to manage paying bills etc or are you coping ok?
