Waxing

Just wanted to let you ladies know, deciding to get a Hollywood wax for first time ever and being 33 weeks pregnant, with hemorrhoids isn’t the best decision to make and it does in fact, hurt for a while after 😂 and can bruise 😬 it feels like a sunburn in all the wrong places 😫

Thanks for that cause I was planning to do a Hollywood wax at 35 weeks (next week) and I think I’ll pass 🤣 I also got one haemorrhoid sooo yeah thanks for the warning

Oh god!!! I don't have hemorrhoids but I was definitely thinking about doing this so that when the time comes I'm not battling the razor. This sounds like hell though so maybe not 🥲

My mum has had multiple children and she says having a Hollywood wax is worth than childbirth. We always quote her on that 🤣 Running joke in our family hahaha

Omg 😂
I’m not a waxer but I had an everything shower yesterday and I realised I really cannot reach down there for shaving anymore, I’ve asked my husband to put some removal cream on for me from next week 😂.

I booked for one but they wouldn’t do the backside they said against their policy 🙄 gonna have to shave it now

I have a hollywood wax every month, well I did until pregnancy. Hurts sooo much in pregnancy, I don’t think it hurts at all usually though!🤣

I regularly get my bikini line done and had it done last month and it hurt for an entire week, it doesn't normally. Luckily it's not really grown back so not bothering to get it done again while pregnant. Midwives and consultants have literally seen it all they honestly don't care

Eyebrows

My little girl has quite thick eyebrows. I’ve googled it and ended up down a rabbit hole. Has anyone else’s little one got similar eyebrows?

HELP ME

I didn’t sleep AT ALL last night and I’m still yet to go to bed and it’s basically 6am how in the fuck do I get this kid to shut the fuck up and close his eyes. No he’s not sick no he’s not teething he’s just being a fucking cunt I am at my limit, I cannot safely pick him up anymore unless I get some sleep, I cannot cook use an oven or anything safely so he’s gonna starve! He’s literally killing himself by not letting me sleep i am literally halicinating how do I make him close his eyes
Single mum no family

Why do toddlers hit!?

When you're feeling pretty low and lonely as a stay at home mum anyway and then you pick up your toddler and he smacks you Square in the face!
I couldn't help but let out a "what the fuck!?" And put him straight down on the floor and told him NO hitting....
He's 20 months. I'm really struggling :(
I'm in such a low point as it is

FML this morning!!

All I want to do is leave the fucking house! My 4 year old isn't listening to a word I'm saying it literally goes over her head, my 11 day old is screaming for milk but I'm trying to make a lunchbox and pack a bag.
My partner didn't come to bed til 4.30am so he's still asleep and he sleeps like a log! I managed to do a school run for my boy this morning but this one just seems impossible 🤦🏼‍♀️ she's meant to be there at 10 and it takes 20 mins on the bus..it's now 9.58 🤦🏼‍♀️

Give me fucking strength today please 😩

Early wakes

Hello! So baby girl goes to sleep about 7pm every night. We safely bed share and I'm still exclusively breast feeding. She will only feed to sleep which I am okay with. I am just exhausted with the 5-6am start of the day! It used to be 7-7:30 wake up which was alot better! Any idea how I can push this later? I realise that feeding her probably isn't helping when she wakes up, but throughout the night this puts her back to sleep! Any ideas??

Sleep getting worse. Breaking point.

I genuinely don’t know what’s going on with my 5.5 month old anymore but his sleep is getting progressively worse and I feel like I’m at breaking point.

Last night he went down at 7:30 and was awake again after an hour. Then after midnight he basically would not sleep unless he was on me. Every time I tried to put him back down he’d either wake instantly or be awake again 5 minutes later.

Not even upset half the time, just rolling around, legs in the air, grabbing his feet, babbling, trying to roll, acting completely awake at 2am???

I was replacing the dummy constantly, patting him, trying to resettle him for HOURS and nothing worked. He finally slept from around 3:30 but only because he was in bed with me and even then I barely slept because I was anxious and awake half the time.

The thing is his naps are fine. I follow wake windows, he naps well, he falls asleep independently at bedtime. I’m not feeding or rocking him to sleep every night so I genuinely don’t understand why nights are so horrendous.

My partner works away and is away completely until June so I’m doing this alone and I honestly feel like I’m losing my mind from the sleep deprivation.

Please tell me someone else has been through this because I don’t know what to do anymore.
