This has been bothering me for some time and I thought I'd share. I have around 5/6 very good friends that I have known for a long time and shared many milestones with.

I don’t know if this is the beginning to an end but I am at the point where I don’t want to talk out anything in my relationship. So much disappointment and energy wasted only for the same conversations and issues to coms back up. I remember always wanting to talk about EVERYTHING. Now, I don’t have the energy becau...

Does anyone else feel like no matter how many people are there to “support” you you’re still alone? At the end of the day it’s just you / us giving birth and being pregnant….

I had to move back with my mom due to addiction problems (I didn’t know I was pregnant, and have been clean since). I had no where else to go and I just showed up cuz she wouldn’t answer and I was on the street. Now I’m here, she’s completely ignoring me. I’ve been asking for prenatals for a week, and she’s gone to...

Before I had baby I had a lot of little hobbies, I would paint and crochet and do lots of crafty things like that, and I also read a lot.

I have felt guilty the whole time we have been away ...

Hey all, I've recently left my partner, it's been a very long time coming, unfortunately we were not a priority. Anyway I've made some lovely Mum friends from classes etc, but gosh now I'm a single Mum, I just feel so lonely, like everyone has a nice partner to go home to, and when they speak about their weekend...
