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…

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...

Has become so differnt and I’ve been the “backup” friend for a long while now (6months ish) she’s just been so snotty and...

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....

Is it such a thing that a four week old baby would be crying for their mom? My baby has been OK with being put down to sleep, whether it be on her wedge or on baby bouncer. My mom lives with me and a lot of the time she helps me hold her so I can do small chores. However, today she has been crying anywhere else tha...

So I’ve had a terrible experience with birth control. I gained so much weight and I felt depressed on 4 different kinds. What do you guys do? What’s been working for you? I’ve had too many pregnancy scares and a positive test then a miscarriage (from being stressed out about being pregnant again). I’m not ready fo...

I became friend with a lady when we were both pregnant with our first LO. We were 2 weeks part. We spoke most weeks but after I had my Lo she went ghost then messaged me 3 months later to let me know she had her baby 3 months ago. I wasn’t really that bothered because I was also a new mum and was in my own little bu...

Has anyone leff the house with their baby by themselves? I have anxiety over that. Does it go away?😫 we’ve only left with my husband.

Partial rant / partially hoping to hear I’m not the only one! My husband is the most wonderful kind person and is the best daddy but we cannot stop arguing about anything and everything and whenever we do we always both throw shit at eachother about our parenting techniques which I think just breaks down our relat...

My 10mo is just so grumpy. She hates everything. Nothing makes her happy and i’m just not coping. Everything is a fight. Nappy changes, wiping her face, brushing teeth, getting dressed etc. She whines all day. Won’t play with anything, won’t spend any time on the floor to learn to crawl or anything. I can’t find any...
