It’s crazy I see it on social media and it makes me feel sick it’s literally women against women and it’s just mean I don’t like it at all!

I feel you, I posted on here about how I was struggling with my mental health and having suffered badly before wanted to see if anyone else was the same and had anything that could help and all the comments I got were things like “you are pregnant you need to stop it’ll harm the baby” like thanks love it’s that easy to do😂😩xx

I made a post not too long ago asking about something simple and I got responses of people giving unsolicited advice rather than just answering the actual question. Just don’t respond if that’s the case, I don’t need your ‘advice’ and to add it was more so people disagreeing with something related to the question ‘no, we would never!’ Type responses

your baby will be fine regardless of your emotions during pregnancy. Don’t let people make you feel bad, your clearly already feeling bad enough ffs. I struggle with my mental health and it’s to the point I feel like I can’t say anything because I just get such unhelpful comments

What do you mean mum shaming?

making other mums feel bad or passing judgment for doing things that they may not necessarily do. Criticising their choices and just making them feel like they are a bad mum

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
