My anxiety has been at its highest it’s ever been. I am currently going thru issues w my husband. To sum it up it is my fault.

Been with my partner 7 years this June. I have expressed my dislike with him watching porn for many years and he refuses to stop or change this. Am j seeing this as a bigger issue than it should be ?

For those of you who are pregnant whilst also having a toddler - how are you coping? 😂 I’m about 8 weeks pregnant and have been feeling nauseous and just KNACKERED for about 2 weeks now. Doesn’t help that I’ve had an awful cold this week. I also have a daughter who has just turned 2 and I am feeling really guilty…

Anyone tried doing this?😂 we’ve not had sex in about 2+ months so I’m quite scared if I’m honest. Does it feel uncomfortable or painful?? I’m 38+4 and trying to do everything I can to get baby out!!😂

Just curious how others are healing vaginally postpartum? I’m 10 weeks pp with my first baby and although my memory of what it looked like before pregnancy is a little foggy I KNOW it didn’t look like what it does now…which is to be expected, I’m sure, pushing a 9lb baby out of there. I notice a bulge inside the ope...

How long does this last? Is it something that lasts a few months or as soon as your baby comes your hair just sheds for a few weeks?

Anyone else sometimes get really stressed or overwhelmed when little one is screaming and then once they’ve calmed down just cry because you feel so bad about getting stressed or overwhelmed?😂

We are on the second 1 hour induction of nursery for my 13 month old. I feel SO full of guilt and I can’t stop crying. She is meant to be starting Monday, jumping straight in to a full day (I’ll be dropping her off later and picking her up early, full day straight away is too much IMO). I work shifts which means she...

I have a 2 year old IVF baby and we’d like to try for another one, but not sure if we’ll be successful. Anyway I feel so guilty about a new baby taking away from my time with my daughter. I’m sure this is something most mums worry about, but can someone tell me if this normal 😂 If we do have another baby I’ll love…

Any tips on the positivity?? I just talked to my parents to move in next week. I’m 21, less than 3 months away from birth, just broke up with my ex fiancé this week.

Is anyone else crippled with anxiety about their newborn’s well being? I feel like I’m worrying about every little thing that she does and am constantly asking Chat GPT if something is normal. If so, how do you deal with it? Does it get better?

I moved back home from Texas because I was going through postpartum and now I regret it . my mom act like she doesn’t want to help with my son anymore , I can’t even go to the bathroom by myself soon as she notices that I’m gone she will bring him in the bathroom with me

I want to TTC so badly but also have this thought that she was taken for a reason and I should just focus on my son because I haven't been the greatest mother dealing with my postpartum depression and now the miscarriage. I just feel like this was God saying it wasn't right to try for a second baby, and I just. I wa...

Spent over an hour on the phone to a friend who is separating from her live-in partner. He is shouting at her, but not physically violent. She though is still upset and scared, understandably. After an hour long call with me supporting her, she ended up sounding a bit better, and then said to me and that me and he...

Hey, sorry if this is TMI but I’m curious to know. I’m 4 weeks postpartum today. Is it possible to start a period so soon after? I haven’t had red blood discharge since birth hence why I believe it might be my period. I’m also exclusively pumping.

How can I over come overthinking.. if my baby isn’t clapping, saying dada for a day I panic and overthink.. if I see a baby doing something which she hasn’t reached I also get stressed.. I google things and my anxiety goes over the top.. she’s recently started flapping her hands which I know most babies grow out of....
