I know it’s common to feel a disconnect with your partner once you’ve had a baby, but it’s making me so sad how resentful and irritated I feel towards him😞 I get so annoyed by every little thing, and resentful for the way his life has changed so little in comparison to mine. I know we’ll come out the other side,…

Write something encouraging and uplifting oooorrrr it can even be something that makes you laugh/smile

Struggling so much atm, so I’m 12 weeks pregnant I moved away with my partner to near where his parents live, and I literally know no one here😂 I work from home too so haven’t even been able to meet anyone through work or anything, I literally spend every single day in the house and it’s the loneliest thing😭

I feel like when I look in the mirror I have no idea who Im looking at sometimes. When I look at old photos, I don’t know who that girl is anymore. It really is true that you can love your new life as a mother so much but also mourn who you once were!

I’m struggling to not be bored this whole pregnancy so far. All my friends just drink and only go out to drink and tbh I don’t really want to be around that. I’ve been playing video games but sometimes I feel like I’m missing out:( I’m so bored

I’m 39 and TCC. Sometimes I feel like I’m too old to have a baby and I missed my chance. Does anyone feel the same?

I know I have a tough personality. I have never been very liked - never had friends, colleagues don’t like me, etc. but I thought that my own child and I would finally love and understand each other. But surprise, surprise… he doesn’t like me either. I think I’m loving, fun, attentive, etc. but it’s just not enough...

Idk I kind of miss like a guys affection and bd is being a real huge a hole. This period in my life sucks. Baby is too small to be leaving her w anyone 🥺😭

Does anyone feel completely lost in motherhood? We have a 4 year old and an 8 month old. I’m still on mat leave due back in 8 weeks. I feel all I do is think what to do for the next meal, cook, clean up after meal time and tidy/ clean the house constantly. I’m honestly dying to get back to work to feel normal aga...

I feel like my friend’s circle is slowly diminishing. I still make effort, try to arrange girls nights/trips/message on social media but I feel like it’s not reciprocated. I feel like my husband’s life hasn’t been as affected as mine. I feel lonely and it’s rubbish. Like no one cares enough about me to wanna take th...

Had to cut my baby daddy/man off, and now I’m trying not to feel lonely 😔

I get so overwhelmed so easily and quickly and i hate it about myself how do other mamas not get so overwhelmed and i know I have my support system but I know their not always gonna be around to help

Hi…my baby is almost one month and so far my mum was here from Italy to help me. She’s gone back from one week and since she left I feel alone,all my family is back home so I only have my boyfriend here(he’s really supportive and helpful in everything). I cry everyday because I don’t have no one else to help us,my ...

does it have to do with wearing comfy clothes and staying in lol I dont know how to get out of the funk of feeling unattractive

Not really sure why I'm putting this on here but i'm really quite struggling. I don't have a village, at all. To be honest I don't have a single friend either, and haven't spoken to anyone socially that wasn't my partners family in about three years. I really struggle socially to connect and know what to say and I ...

I’m just wondering….is it to show off or get approval of others… like why do people choose to show off happy intimate moments??? I wonder what it would be like without social media and people just living in the moment. Example: pregnancy reveal Holiday pictures proposals New baby New house

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the most useless human being on the face of the earth. I don’t work, I’m a sahm of two with a third on the way, I’ve never done anything in my life to be proud of, literally I often think my kids and partner would be happier if I wasn’t around, I’m not talking about dying just leaving witho...

Anyone feeling like they weren’t built for this?

Hi all, I’m a newly single mum. Despite everything…. I‘ve agreed for BD to see LO but with supervision, which everyone initially agreed with. Upon making the suggestion to get anything agree “set in stone” I’m pretty much being penalised and made out to be the bad person. Did anyone else go through a really str...

I’m a wreck right now. I was a SAHM for a year and then went back to work a month after my baby turned 1. He’s 1.5 now and I just miss spending so much time with him. I’m so sad and depressed and just want to quit my job and stay home again.
