The point is I never had these feelings before but all of a sudden I have feelings I cannot shake. Feelings and anxiety that are causing physical symptoms, na...

So I’ve always had an innie bellybutton and then around 2 trimester it became an outie. I’m 38 weeks now and suddenly today I noticed it’s gone back in. I googled and I can’t find anything… what does this mean? Is my baby getting ready to come out?

I feel like I can’t handle being a mom to a toddler. Separation anxiety is so bad I can’t turn around for a second. Can’t cook food or get anything done. I don’t think I can’t handle this. Baby cries horrible cries if I’m not next to them

I then felt bad so I said MIL can co...

I have so many emotions right now. Like why???

I am 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Although it is an unplanned pregnancy I knew I wanted to go ahead with it as soon as I found out. I like kids generally and I've developed an urge to be a mom only in the last 2 years maybe but nothing too intense. Today I was spending some time with my nephew and i found m...

Starting to feel really resentful that I’m in so much pain and discomfort with no end in sight and absolutely fucking had enough.

Hi everyone. I had an episiotomy 3 months ago and I think it’s healed well. Only thing I have is if I sit in a bath it feels like I’m sitting on something. I never notice it any other time, just sitting in the bath. Is this normal? Thank you

Hello. 39 weeks 3 days here. Feeling tightening of my belly for 40sec -1min, every 6-13min. No pain in my lower back, only discomfort. The tightening for sure is uncomfortable but not painful. Anybody experiencing this?
