Does anyone else for guilty for feeling anxious, or negative? I have been feeling anxious for the past few days, I have been overthinking.

I don’t know where to start. I have a terrible relationship with my mother. It goes back to my childhood. I’m an only child and my mother has always been very “protective” is what I used to say but now that I’m an adult I see that she’s just controlling. My father passed away 16 years ago and he was the only one tha...

My mother in law is consistently not listening to me when I say how bad my anxiety is. My baby turns 4 months on the 25th and although he has pretty good head control it freaks me out. I even support my two year olds head when lying her down so she doesn’t bump it. Well I’ve told her numerous times make sure your su...

I’m 32 weeks and I haven’t experienced any Braxton Hicks contractions. Am I just blessed or should I be concerned? I feel my baby move around a lot. Just no pain and I’m not complaining I just seem like everyone else is talking about experiencing this at 28 weeks and on .

So my husband and I have been together for over 11 years since we were 17 and married for 5. We have lived in our own home for 4 years and just recently moved back in (temporarily) back with my parents with our daughter. So, our marriage didn’t have a smooth beginning and we actually had endured a lot of issues in t...

I’ve been getting what feels like period cramps which my midwife told me are likely to be Braxton Hicks. I’m 35 weeks today, so obviously close to baby’s due date, but not quite close enough… How long after Braxton Hicks did everyone go into labour? I’m adamant I’m having a November baby😂

I am posting because I really don’t feel like I have a support system and I have a lot going on. But my baby daddy is no longer the man I thought he was and I feel talking to him is no good and I’m struggling knowing most likely my baby will grow up with seperated parents and I’m struggling mentally because of him.

Our baby has always been hard work in the pram and the car. She has never been able to just sit there for longer than 30 minutes or so. I dread going out places unless it is somewhere she can go off and play as she will just cry and we'll have to carry her but then she wants to go down etc, just a vicious circle. I ...
