This might be a dumb, selfish question (especially today) and maybe just a phase I’m going through, but does anyone get bored ever? I miss my old life at times & freedom to do all the things, whereas now feel like a hermit crab with partner when we’re both home. Our little one isn’t always the easiest to take places...
I’m finding this stage so much harder. A lot of the time I feel out of my depth and just doing the wrong thing by my baby. I only have one child, I could never have more, don’t know how people do it?! Between sleep deprivation that’s still very much a thing, development and the impact it has on relationships it...
I go to baby groups but still not found anyone I’ve really clicked with or on this app. I’ve chatted to mums at baby groups but they all seem to be having different experiences to me or aren’t being entirely honest (enjoying every moment and have babies that sleep through) I of course love my baby more than anything...
I’m currently 33 weeks and just yesterday had to leave my husband and toddler on a whole other continent for the rest of this pregnancy. It’s such a terrible feeling, to feel like you’ve abandoned one child to be able to care for the other.. any moms or soon to be moms able to relate with this feeling?
I don’t know if most mom feel this way but I feel like im not happy but I’m happy with my son and I’m happy I have him and he make me smile but I just don’t feel happy with myself and it’s not like I don’t like how I look or I’m not happy with my body I just feel like I don’t know what happiest feel like anymore for...
The feeling of finally having the confidence to do something I have wanted to for awhile! Finally got a page up and running and starting a little buissness doing something I love! Just here to say take the leap ladies if there’s something you want to try go for it! I’m over the moon with making the small step 😁😁😁
I'm noticing one of my good friends has been distant with me throughout this pregnancy. She is married, but is not wanting children just yet. I try not to talk about it too much and make sure I am showing I am still interested in her life, however she doesn't ever ask me about it and seems unsympathetic when I'm fe...
When you’re feeling down, where do you pull your inspiration from? Before motherhood, I had the strength of an army, and the thickest skin. Now, after experiencing motherhood, I’ve learned that it’s ok to need people, lean on people, vocalize need for help, and realizing your old/new vulnerabilities. Something very ...
I’m 19w and this week I just feel so down and sad, I don’t have a reason to be but I am. Anybody else? I get so frustrated as well because the pregnancy brain is braining mannnn… over it just want my brain to work again lol!
Hey mamas, anyone else feel like they have lost their identity and interests since becoming a mom? I also feel like I have little interest in returning to how life was before baby. Ultimately I guess I feel a bit lost sometimes. Is that normal? Xx
I’m 20+5, and I don’t feel this instant connection with my baby girl. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to meet her but I think I’m so overwhelmed with everything else that could potentially go wrong, and being a mom that I am lacking this connection. Is this normal!?
I love my girls very much and I try so hard to stay cool and collected but being in a house all day every day with 2 toddlers and then a 5 year old when she comes home from school is taking its toll i feel so bad for feeling like sometimes im wasting my life but i can’t help it it’s hard to be alone and have no adu...
I feel so bad but I just get so overwhelmed. Family asking when they can see baby, trying to organise to meet my non-mum friends, trying to get to know my new mum friends, checking up on family I haven't heard from in a while. I just spend 20 minutes of baby's naptime texting people to get it out of my way because i...
Honestly it gets lonely and tiring wishing I had a partner to fall back on because this third trimester has me battling physically, mentally and financially but it’ll all be over soon I feel so bad for my son I never thought it was going be just me and him 🥺
My youngest Son is turning one in August and I am emotional about it mostly because my family doesn’t know how to family and I don’t have any family members that aren’t toxic and my hubby has his family and some friends and it just made me realize That I don’t really have anyone besides my kids and my husband. Has a...
Is it just me or is anyone else all over the place even 16 months PP?! I am a hot mess 😅😅
