When did you all get your period after birth?

I don’t know what to do as I have a vegina delivery and got a second degree tear I’m 7 weeks pp and my partner was to keep on have sex but I’m still sore we have done it a couple of times but it just hurts and then when I say it hurts I have say it about 10 times before he stops but then he sounds pissed off with me...

My daughter just turned 4, and since she was born we have butted heads. That sounds bad, but she has just been a more difficult kid from the start. She’s very emotional and dramatic, and lately she has had the worst, defiant attitude. My husband just took a trip to visit some friends for the weekend and she acts up ...

Has anyone ever dealt with PP rage? my bd just ended things but i can’t help to feel guilty. I can’t give my baby that family. Im SHM and i would drink beers on regular. Sometimes it causes me to take my anger out on my bd. I want to know if i’m dealing with pp rage or the fact that he doesn’t offer help with the ba...

My husband started recently to comment my clothes. He loves sport/casual clothes, and I love more elegant, actually office “look”. Recently he started to tell me how my style is old fashioned or just :”looks like curtain, or please change this it doesn’t look attractive.” It really hurts my feelings. And I told him...

I'm about to have a complete mental breakdown. My boys 4 and 2 have been TERRIBLE recently. I mean not listening no matter how many times I repeat myself or rephrase or try to redirect, NOTHING. They constantly do things that could get them seriously injured no matter how many times I tell them not to. They're fight...

I recently got my daughter a tablet. It was an Amazon on so it didn’t have kids YouTube on it and she likes watching this one girl so I downloaded the normal YouTube for her to watch her. Well today she was in a state of fear as she had accidentally came across a scary video. I watched it and I even thought it was s...

Hey everyone.. Not sure if I’m being silly so wanted someone else’s opinion on the situation - so I had my little boy in February, my partner already has a little girl aged 9, whenever my partner even speaks to the baby his daughter starts shouting saying “no your my daddy not his” she will never let him hold the b...

I’m struggling to bond with my daughter. Feels like I always have a brain fog and so tired. I don’t know what to do… what advice do you guys have I’m currently taking anti depressant and that makes me really tired

I just had such an 'oh shit' moment, and now quite literally feel like the world's worst mother. I had my bathroom redone a few weeks ago and had a part of something left over which has just been standing up in my living room ever since waiting to be picked up by the designers. Never before have I seen it as somet...

18 mo seems to always be upset- very sensitive and clings to me all day. This has been going in for a few months now. Help 😫

I had my little girl two weeks ago today. It was a very traumatic experience, i didn’t get to see her come out, I didn’t get to do skin to skin, I got an infection which meant I couldn’t breastfeed her and I had to stay in hospital with her for a week. I didn’t even get to feed her the colostrum I collected my partn...

Hi everyone, so I got the devastating news today that my cat Pepsi has to be put down tomorrow. He’s got aids from fighting with stray cats and grew a kidney infection, he also had the habit of eating off the floor even when we tried everything to prevent it. Like, he’d take his food out the bowl and eat off the flo...

I’m just frustrated. My big sister had her first baby a few months ago and I’m doing everything I can to be supportive to her. But… all I hear is how “easy this is” or how could anyone complain. Even her brith was very short and and intervention free (no stitches she’s lucky 🥲) My first was a very traumatic…

If I discuss this with my midwife will I be put under social services?

My baby’s got a hernia and I’m curious to find out if anybody’s baby ever had one too and if it ever went away? Should I be concerned?

My little girl is 3 weeks old and I know at this age everything is new for her and we are very much in the newborn trenches with all the tears, lack of routine and sleep deprivation. We have good days and bad days. On good days she is settled, feeds well and sleeps for a good 2-3hrs. On bad days she is unsettled, ...

My 6 year old reacts ridiculously over the top every single time she even brushes an arm or leg on something which makes it difficult to know whether an injury is genuine or not. She then obsesses over the area that’s ’hurt’ for days afterwards. It’s completely over the top and annoy to be honest 😂 Of course if…
