I’m 6weeks away from going on mat leave. While I should feel excited & supported, I’m not. I’m getting very anxious as my husband has been emotionally abusive & it’s worsened in the past 3weeks. I can’t leave as the house is in my name & I’ll still be liable to pay for rent even if I go elsewhere. And I don’t have f...

Hi fellow Toronto mamas! I thought it could be fun to get a group of us together to go for a stroller walk in High Park one weekday and see the cherry blossoms once they are in bloom. Maybe even grab a coffee/tea at the Grenadier Cafe afterwards. Looks like the flowers could potentially bloom over the next week or s...

Hey ladies might be a stupid question but is it ok to sunbathe pregnant? First week with lovely weather and I love the sun but my bump gets so hot? I know it’s not even that warm but I’m 35 weeks just don’t want to cook my baby girl 😫😂.

Looking for recommendations for baby groups, my little one is 12 weeks so thinking about starting to take her now we’re having longer wake windows but there are so many different ones!🤣

I stayed local to my baby Dad so that he could see the kids and have a relationship with them. He works during the week and has them one day at the weekend. Our daughter will be going to nursery soon so I’ve been thinking about going back to work as both kids will be in nursery. I’ve asked if he will do either drop-...

I would love to have a friend that I can just vent too. I’m not a big tester due to issues at home so preferably someone who doesn’t mind if they get a reply straight away. Life can be so lonely sometimes.

My daughter’s dad cheated while I was pregnant and from what I know it was up until I was around 6 months pregnant.. it was with a colleague I also must say. During that year he went off sick from work for several months up until my due date, so around that time in work that I know about.. I found out he had cheated...

5 years with partner 2 children 1 & 16 weeks old…. I really don’t want to have sex with partner. So I’ve been thinking about just allowing him to speak to other people and do what he wants.

She really likes music so I was thinking of something to do with that. But if anyone has any other good suggestions please let me know in the comments

Just curious of people’s opinion on this, I told work I was pregnant quite early on (about 8 weeks) because I was really poorly, I told my direct line manager who is also the company MD. He told pretty much the whole office while I wasn’t in. I know he’s a gossip but I feel like this is an unfair thing to gossip abo...

I am 25 weeks now and have an obstetrician appointment on Wednesday.. I can’t remember what they do/check/ how long the appointment will likely take. Am I able to take my toddler or should I try and find childcare?

I just feel like since I’ve had my daughter I’m never invited out anywhere anymore. Some of my closest friends go drinking every weekend it seems. I went out and did bottomless brunch with them but it just wasn’t for me just felt pressured to down my drinks. I said I would happily just do day drinking where it is mo...

I’m pretty sure I’m experiencing prenatal depression or on the brink of it. I’m generally a positive person who sees the bright side of things or tries hard to pull myself out of funks, but between the lack of friendships, emotional support and unhappiness with my current living environment, I feel drained and lik...
