Someone in our immediate family passed away. Emotions will be high at this service. Would you take your two year old?

Got my iud out on monday. Started Yaz on tuesday. Had love night on Saturday. Saw this 😳

Hey ladies, to those with partners who went from 1 child to 2, how did it affect your social life? I'm 18m PP & my social life is kinda picking up.. I went to the Megan Thee Stallion & Usher concert in the last year & due to go to a few more in the next few months which wasn't really the case before having a child....

I didn’t even realize I was starting to nest until I just got half way done with my oldest son’s room. Hes 4 and his dad took him out so I could do whatever I wanted and I just wiped down most of his walls and did a deep clean if his dresser and a few of his big toys. Anyone else already nesting 😅

I saw this on social media “Normalize keeping your children away from children who aren’t being parented well.”

Everyone says it takes a village to raise a child…what happens if you don’t have a village? My partners are both deceased, and my partners parents are only able to help when it “works” for them. My siblings make no effort with me, and I have little friends. I really want to go back to work, but my partner thinks it’...

Is anyone else feeling a bit anxious about visitors immediately after birth? It’s the first grandchild for my in-laws and they’re not great at knowing when to leave and my partner isn’t very good at having difficult conversations with them (especially his mum) for fear of upsetting them. I know they’re excited which...

Does any moms feel bad after having to beat their child after talking numerous times about the same thing?? How do you feel about beating? Do you feel they help or not? If so in what capacity? After how many warnings should/would you have the child a whooping? Do you feel gentle parenting work?

From the profound to the mundane, anything that made an impact or lasting impression on you.

Just curious as I feel ready🤣🤣🤣

I interviewed for this job about 2 weeks ago. The man said Hey we're giving you a job offer. Cool job offer never comes the next week they sent me an email that said the position was filled. Then they send me an email that I got the job. My job offer to my background and my drug test and everything I do all of that ...

Sometimes I feel guilty my child will never have a sibling but I don’t think I’d make it out of another postpartum alive

My friend has a heart condition and she can’t carry her own kids without being at risk. Her partner and her a wants to adopt, but she doesn’t know where to start I would love some advice

Since having a baby, one family member wants to see my baby. They never visited me before and now, they just say “I want to see the baby.” They would never ask to meet otherwise. How would you feel?

If you have had your tubes tied, what was your experience with the recovery time? My procedure is coming up in two weeks!😁

Hello. I’m 37 weeks and just tried colostrum collection for the first time. I didn’t get anything after trying for a little while. Has anyone else had any success from keep trying? How did you find it? Thanks

We had been playing with the idea of 3rd child (despite our 2nd only being 4 months old 😅😂) but key person in our village (grandma that leaves nearby) has now had a heart attack. She did the nursery run since i was in 3rd trimester and took toddler home 2-3 hours every weekend morning and holds baby for naps and…

Is it easier having 1 child or multiple and please give your reasons why?

This might sound very stupid lol.... but I need to change my bank details so it doesn't affect my UC payments as I'm in the red 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ My question is has anyone changed bank details, if so was it a smooth transition and did your next payment come through OK? I'm such a panicky person lol and I just want…

My daughter is in her crib SOBBING and screaming for her dad right now. This is the worst part. I gave her all her requests and a picture of him but she’s still so sad.
