I’m feeling pretty sad today. I worked really hard in a medical assistant school. Got a job that I loved but I had to quit because my kid was always getting sick and childcare was hard to find. I had planned on going back to work but I got pregnant and now I’m back where I started in the first place that motivated m...

Did anyone feel like the moment the became pregnant their individuality was stripped away. I’m grateful for the love and support my family and friends are showing me but I’m bubble wrapped so tightly I feel I can’t breathe. Everything now is about being a mum and preparing for baby.

Prior to my baby who’s only 11 weeks. I’ve always been working and been super independent. I went on maternity leave with no plans of going back to work. I love most aspects of being a stay at home mum but some days it’s really hard to get the hang of always being home with no routine outside of living from one feed...

My mom is leaving in the morning, like 9 hours from now. She lives all the way across the country. I can’t imagine being alone with this baby. What am I gonna do? I’ve been just following her lead, and now I’m going to have nothing. I have to restart work next week! I’m so scared. I’m crying because I wish she could...
