Any tips for postpartum hairloss?? What did you guys used? The amount of hair on the floor and shower drain, I cannot believe I’m still not bald yet 🤦🏻‍♀️

My daughter is 10 and has adhd and/or anxiety. We’ve tried all the things and keep trying, w a lot of resistance from her. This morning was an S show about starting a new med and her refusing. Not a good start to the morning before school and work. Any one w kids similar that can relate ?

I put my 6months baby on the bed, didn’t realize he was so close from the edge. It was just for a few seconds.. I had my hand on him. And I grab a tissue and I hear a big boom, my baby fell on the floor, on his back, back head. I was shocked my husband panicked. He cried for 2minutes, but after he smiles, and everyt...

I was wondering if anyone in the U.K. has used the pregnancy sickness support counselling service. As it’s quite expensive I wanted to find out whether it’s worth it before committing? I’m mainly looking for advice on how to prepare yourself for a second child and dealing with the anxiety / guilt for either having ...

I have autism and borderline personality disorder. I have been managing okay without meds for the last year or so but have been having regular check ins with a psychiatrist since my diagnosis of bpd. I had 5 consecutive miscarriages and it got to the point where I was struggling with my mental health 90% of the time...

I wanted to post on here in case anyone else was experiencing this as it's quite new to me and a bit concerning. We have a 20month old boy with my husband and my husband is lovely as always but recently started to be all overly touchy feely. Coming for passionate kisses, grabbing my bum and giving sexy compliments ...

How long did you bleed for after your section? I’m 4 week pp tomorrow and I’m still bleeding. It’s showing no signs of stopping either.

Hey, baby is 2 weeks old and I’m currently having a rocky recovery from a C-Section. I absolutely love him but I can’t help but panic im not doing enough with him right now? Im not doing any additional ‘nice bits’ such as reading, going on nice walks etc so at the moment im just covering the basics such as feeding, ...

I’m 5 months pp after a traumatic birth (episiotomy +. Forceps) It took me a good 4 months to “recover”. Before this, I would bleed during sex and every time I went for a poo! I’ve now stopped bleeding but sex just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I struggle to get wet even with foreplay. I feel like I have a loss o...

My 3 month old has started to lose his hair. Is this normal at this stage

Anyone else feel overwealmed feeling this

Just need to vent as my partner doesn't seem to see my point of view. He keeps wanting his mum to look after our baby, when I don't need her to. Yes I'm tired and my to do list is on a back burner at the moment/can't get things done straight away. But I'm accepting that as life with a baby, after all this is what ...

So I have this friend who has no kids and is currently pregnant. It’s likely the first year in years she’s free from any type of smoking and drinking. She has a history of poor communication or suggesting plans to later tell me how she’s did them with someone else unaware. She had the nerve to text me this. Because ...

I’d love to connect with other moms struggling with PTSD postpartum. My LO is almost a year old and i’m still struggling with eating and drinking and too much weight loss. Any advice for how y’all managed this?

I’ve noticed over the years my mood is a lot lower (generally since covid but particularly during winter) and have decided this is the year to try a SAD lamp. Assuming that they are safe in pregnancy (i will check with midwife) - does anyone have any recommendations for one? Considering they’re a winter baby i’d l...

My little one was crying and screaming from 6-10pm last night and nothing me and my partner did would console her or make her happy. I swear she had a panic attack because she was panting and fast breathing, I think she cried her self to sleep which broke my heart. This morning I feel all nervous and dare not even...

Has anyone else experienced post-partum rage? I used to be a very calm person and rarely got angry but since having my baby I just get these moments of rage where I feel like I need to scream and I frequently snap at other people in the house. I feel like a different person. It happens when I’m extremely over stimul...
