I have just washed my hair and look at all that loss!! I’m suprised I’m not bald at this point 😭😭😭

I'm so sick of being accused of the little things my SD does for instance, she used the remote today and didn't put it back where it should be and it's now missing. My husband straight up came and asked me where the remote was and I told him I don't know, he went ahead and said who else has it if it's not me and m...

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 ...

Hi everyone. I truly need some help with this. Idk if these are normal feelings, if any of you have experienced this, or if I need therapy and some work on this. Ever since my son was born, it’s been really difficult for me to be around my in laws, specifically my MIL. I don’t know them well and there’s a language...

Hi ladies, So I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant and I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with my emotions and feelings. I’ve previously suffered with quite bad anxiety and depression and taken antidepressants for it but stopped back earlier this year. I now feel that I need to be on them again to cope, is anyone else cur...

I feel like my daughter is just not happy. She seems to be upset all the time. Everywhere I take her to have fun she ends up fussing and crying. When we try do activities at home she’s not interested. Feeling really frustrated and sad

Before I could think of saving it I think I've lost half my head hair in the past 2 weeks. Only 3 months postpartum. 😭😭

Last night my husband and I had sex for the first time since our son was born. Did anybody else feel like the only thing you could focus on was how weak your pelvic floor is? I throughly enjoyed the foreplay, but when it came time it didn't hurt, it just felt like when you strain to lift something heavy but in my p...

Postpartum hair loss oh my good god, I’m going to have 2 hairs left by the end of the year at this rate. Is it the iron? What vitamins is anyone taking that’s helped? Products? Treatments? Help!! My 30th is coming up next year and I’m going to be bald 🥲

I’m 4 and a half months postpartum and the last week I’ve been so unhappy with my hair and it’s just making me so sad, it falls out when I touch it, wash it! I have extremely bad dandruff making it look horrible and dirty😭 my hair on top is shorter than my actual hair and it’s just all frizzy😩 I could cry honestly…

I'm feeling so guilty for how impatient and irritable I feel. I have a 2 and 4 year old and starting to feel like I'm annoyed too often. I love my girls sooo much... and also struggle to manage how quickly I feel overstimulated. We went to a football game tonight and I felt my anxiety spike, couldn't really watch ...

She decided her due date was the perfect time to arrive 😊 7lbs baby girl born 6th of October 🥰 I went from first contraction to baby born in 5 hours and when I came in to the hospital I was already 10cm and everyone thought baby was gonna be out quick so no pain relief but gas and air would have time to work.…

I feel like a failure.. I don't regret my baby at all, but I wish she had a daddy. I wish I could've had the proposal I always wanted, the wedding I always wanted, the pregnancy announcement I always wanted, a happy pregnancy experience. I know comparing myself to others is useless and only painful but, fuck it's so...

After two years of emotional and mental abuse from my MIL, my boyfriend and I and our two babies finally moved out last month out of her home. I feel better not living in fight and flight mode anymore, however I feel traumatized from what I experienced in such a short time. Anyways, ever since we moved out.. we sta...

My almost 3 year old just fell on my belly and it was kind of hard. He was jumping around and fell with his hands on my belly and I’m worried. My doctor told me “trauma” for the belly would be my son jumping on it and I feel like it was similar. Anyone else had any experiences like this? I’m going to look for bleedi...

Am I the only one who gets anxious over the smallest things? I’m not against pacifiers, but once my LO was hooked, having to wake up to give him the pacifier was draining. I was so anxious for the day I had to ween him off-because I hate to see him cry. It’s day 3 and he’s been doing so well and I feel like I’ve bee...

Hey mamas I took my newborn out with me to eat today and I couldn’t stop crying. I just kept thinking of everyone getting him sick and couldn’t even enjoy my time out. Does it get easier the older he gets cause he is only 8 days old

I’ve recently started losing so much hair it’s SO bad when I put it in a pony tail. What can I do to make it grow back? Does this happen to everyone? Will it grow back?

Honestly my days are miserable all day I just deal with a crying baby she’s so miserable and it’s making me depressed I’ve taken her to the doctors/ health visitors as she just cry’s constantly since she was born if she’s not asleep she’s crying tbh It’s making my life miserable all I hear is crying even when I try...
