Trying to process how did ppl reached to the conclusion that having 6 mums and babies and partners next to each other, separated by a thin curtain is a good idea? I had a c-section last Monday and everything went perfect, apart from the absurd sleep derivation that we experiences after and wasn’t even because of our...

A mom comments "I give my child everything I never had as a child. And NOW!!! he is so bratty and ungrateful ughhh!!!!' What do you think is the truth behind the moms emotions: A.

I’m having a really challenging time with my husband. Since summer I have been going back and forth about a legal separation but I think I’ve reached my breaking point with him. I don’t believe my husband is a bad person at his core, but due to trauma in his childhood he can be a very angry and mean person. I’m not ...

Has anyone else experienced masses of hair loss in postpartum? This is only a smidgen of how much I lose a day… it’s all the time

Did/does sex after birth for you hurt and for how long? I just want to be intimate with my husband again without being in pain.

Guys! I am in literal tears and just need to vent/ explain to strangers because the people around me don’t understand and thinks I’m overreacting. I don’t know if it’s hormones (I had the implant for 3 years now) or just a newly developed phobia but for a couple of months now I’m so so grossed out by stuff. I had t...

My daughter is 7 weeks old and she non stop cries if I’m not holding her during the day. At night time I meet all of her needs and then pop her in her Moses basket and then she cries for hours on end - sometimes even if I’m holding her (I don’t let her ‘cry it out’ before anyone asks) I’ve been using colic drops sin...

Anyone else struggle with post partum anxiety related to their own health ? I've never experienced this before kids, but it's so bad now.

I feel bad that I’m acting so different in my 2nd pregnancy. I do love this unborn baby, but I don’t feel like I’m doing as much for the baby. It’s like nesting doesn’t exist for me. I’m EXHAUSTED 24/7 with house work and taking care of my toddler. How do I snap out of this?

How’re you all dealing with MILs/grandmas that want to do things with your baby for the first time without you? Example, taking your baby somewhere that you nor your baby has been but she still insists on taking them by herself. Okay, she doesn’t insist on taking my babies somewhere by herself for their first time b...

I was added to a group chat where the were saying some pretty hurtful things. And it honestly made me really sad. They were saying I was a bitch and saying that I was retarted and that I had Down syndrome along with my baby having that. Which she doesn’t. And they were also going through my Facebook and my husbands ...

The breakdowns had stopped for a while but I find myself having panic attacks again and the tears won’t stop This is my first baby I’m overwhelmed and overstimulated I don’t know to do, I don’t have any suppor...

I’m just wondering if everyone feels stressed and overwhelmed once they give birth, does anyone feel like their best self, confident etc? Cos I’m looking forward to feeling confident after giving birth but don’t know if it’s unrealistic 🤣

I’ve read that postpartum can last for almost 7 years after having a child and it resets after each child you have. Idk if they still call it PPD at that point or just depression but I feel like I am drowning most days and still struggling to find myself again. Kids feel like they are ruining my relationship. I’m a ...

Its going to be two years this Dec since me and BD split up. He has moved on, with couple if not a few women and still on the prowl online/social media for more. But for me, its still the same. It’s still him I think about before I sleep and when I wake up. I still wait like a fool if he will message me or reply to ...

How soon after delivery can you call pregnant ? My appointment isn’t until the 12th and I had unprotected sex earlier but I stopped midway

Since I’ve had my baby (I’m 5 months pp) I’ve been constantly worrying that me or him is going to get hurt. The past month it’s gotten worse I’m constantly nervous and on edge that someone’s going to do horrible things to me in order for them to leave him alone or murder is both or if we’re in a car or bus I’m const...

hi, 5 month postpartum mama here! I had healthy/strong hair, skin, and nails throughout my pregnancy and immediately post-birth, but have recently noticed my hair falling out and splitting at the ends more. Any recommendations?

Anyone else feel the same? My baby is nearly 6 weeks and I feel like I’ve been in autopilot the whole time and now I’m feeling the sadness, I was getting myself up and dressed ready for the day but idk if it’s the weather but I’m really finding it hard to feel happy I love my little boy so so much but I’ve lose mys...
