I’m 17 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend has broken up with me. And I really don’t know what to do anymore. I want to be fully independent but my family want me to move home. I just feel so lost

I have 2 girls but the eldest has moved out so I have my 7 year old at home. As much as I love her and she's my little best mate god I feel so alone. Really struggling at life but walk around happy and smiley.

I'm a SAHM and I love it. I used to work with "at-risk" youth, so I often feel guilty that I stopped.

Just a thought of the day for all you other mamas struggling with your anxiety. I remember hearing this from a great therapist and wanted to share. What if everything goes well? What if by doing something you’re scared of, you end up succeeding? What if by reaching out and trying to connect with people you making...

Does anyone else feel a bit stuck? Like I feel really lonely in the week (as all my close friends and family work in the week) so know I should try to get out more but I’m an introvert naturally and I am still scared about going on on my own with baby! Worried he will scream or I can’t settle him. So going out just ...

Single mum, live on my own with my LO. I’ve been finding it hard recently, not knowing what to do in the evening when my LO is asleep. What does everyone do other than watching tv, cleaning etc. looking for something different but that will keep me busy. Although I find I don’t feel like doing much can anyone else r...

I'm a single parent to my 4 year old who started school last week. I work over the weekend and one day in the week and I'm feeling lost with what to do with myself on the days she's not here. I get sad making my lunch because it's just for me, and as much as the mess used to drive me insane the tidiness and quietnes...

I keep flip flopping between waves of excitement to meet my new baby and complete and utter fear and the overwhelming feeling of “forever” that this new chapter of parenthood is going to bring. I feel so guilty for feeling so scared about having to look after another person for life. Is anyone else feeling the same?

I feel like I have nobody. I moved to London when I got married around a year ago and I have one friend (she’s away right now) and I’m so lonely. I’m a housewife, and husband is great but he has to work of course. I just need company and have no idea what to do. Although he’s been great, he sometimes goes to the o...

Are you one of those people who sometimes forget to take a moment for self-care? You're not alone! When life gets busy, it’s easy to overlook self-care. One simple trick I’ve found to stay on track is setting an alarm on my phone. 📱⏰ I use the built-in alarm app on my Android to remind myself to check in on how…

Hi ladies, I’m a mum of 3, wife, I’m on maternity leave as I just had my 3rd baby. Im sat in bed so annoyed at myself at my wasted potential. I’m 31 & over the years I’ve had so many business ideas that had I stuck to them I’d be so successful now. I used to do eyelashes, micro blading, ballon decor. But because I w...

I’ve been struggling with the loss of my independence lately. My baby has been super clingy and cries a lot with my husband. So it’s hard for me to get rest away from my baby. I miss consecutive hours of sleep so much it makes me want to cry. Plus when I am by myself I don’t enjoy it and just feel off. I just can’t ...

I feel ashamed to even admit it, but I am just having a rough time. My husband and I are both military and it is really hard. He is out to sea on and off. He’s been gone most of this year (January to May) and on and off since. I’m doing so much on my own. All I do I clean the house, take care of kids and animals, an...

Does anyone else really struggle with having people around their baby? My partner is having a small family gathering and it stresses me out so much that the baby will be around a lot of people, being held. And with schools going back with germs high it’s really stressing me. Is anyone else like this? 😩 He’s 11 weeks

Those married or with a partner, do you get some time to yourself where they look after the baby/children? If so, how often and what do you do?

I am really so overwhelmed by all the negativity in this world. I think this world is so beautiful but people are so ugly. From abusive partners to knife crimes and school shootings to rapists and traffickers. I really want to have a quite and happy life with my son but all this negativity doesn't help. I am really...

I went to E.R. yesterday to get something for my anxiety. I have not been this anxious in years. I stopped taking anxiety meds years ago. I can not shake this anxiety. I believe it's like a bunch of stuff bottled up. I don't know what to do. I have meds and see a therapist. I don't like feeling this way.

Any single mums who have the baby 24/7 and barely any family around find it difficult and lonely at times? I love my boy to bits but I’m starting to miss being with someone just for the company? Little man’s nearly 4 months old and it’s just me and him 24/7
