I worked full time up until 3 weeks before birth. Mat pay has been ok but I am aware that in a week or 2 it is going to drop significantly.

My BD and I have been together for 6 years. We had a bumpy time at the beginning where a lot of ups and downs. But the last three years we have been great or so I thought. Talks of marriage and children and a happily ever after. But it’s all been talks. He told me in the summer let’s try for a baby etc but getting p...

Hi all, I’ve had a scan at 30 weeks (I have one every two weeks) but twin1 has dropped to 3 percentile from 10th. Which the doctor said is not too worrying and we are going to take it one scan at a time but I can’t help but think about her movements and worry all the time. I had to take two days of work as I couldn...

So me and my baby dad aren’t together, I’m 25 weeks pregnant and he’s already gotten a new girlfriend. We’ve been on no contact for a while because I needed some space as he was doing drugs so I just didn’t want my baby boy growing up with that. He said he’d change however still does it on occasion so he had lied. I...

My partner left me when I was five months pregnant, and we used to live in an apartment together. He said that I was toxic because I looked at his phone, and he took all his belongings overnight and went to live with his mom. He hasn't contacted me since.

LO is suddenly crying at everyone who isn't me or my husband and won't feed from anyone but me.

My partner just told me he's only with me because I'm pregnant with his son. Confused & I don't know what to do.... we got into a silly argument before hand.

I'm so over being pregnant. Be mad at me for feeling this way if you want but I'm ready for it to be over. Between the Heartburn, back pain, contractions, the heart problem I suddenly have, And feeling like I'm bruised from the inside (sore everytime my son moves against certain spots). I just want it to be over. I...

Hello Ladies, I've been married for 16 years. My husband and I never speak to anyone on our phones when we are together, meaning men for me/women for him(e.g, old women work colleagues/old male friends. Is this weird? Do you all speak to people? Is this the norm or not? Tia

Can I ask what everyone’s routines are at the moment? Mostly what time do you give your LO dinner? Mine still has a bottle before bed and I want to wean off this but I think I’m giving dinner tooo early so he’s hungry later! Just seeing what everyone else is doing at the moment ☺️☺️

My partner never goes down on me for more than 3 mins, and I have to ask most of the time. I know he’s 100% a receiver, how can I make him more interested in going down on me? It’s the only thing that gets me off lol

We’ve just hit the clingy stage where he’s crying when you walk away and really wants to be with you all the time. Has anyone come through the other side of this yet?

If you’re a stay at home mom how does finances work with you and your spouse? Do they give you a monthly allowance, do you share a bank account or do you ask for money when you need it?
