Did anyone get thrush in the third trimester? I seem to have itching and will bring it up to my midwife today. I wonder how long it does take to clear.
4 weeks post postpartum, vaginal delivery with 3d tear. Does anyone know when can you start to use soap/fragrances/waxing/shaving again?!
I want a second child but I fear my mental health might suffer 😅. I know I need to wait until we are financially stable and have a house but I’m scared of infertility. My daughter is 14 months old but I miss being pregnant and I want her to have a sibling. I think it would be a lot more responsible to wait 😅😭…
I used to be horny all the time and ever since having my baby I have barely any sex drive. Still breastfeeding and hoping it comes back when I stop but is there anything to help bring it back in the mean time? I feel bad for hubs wanting it and I’m not.
Little rant! My MIL constantly makes comments about our little boy looking exactly like my husband. I was fine with it at the start as naturally people will say something about which parent the baby looks like but my little boy is now 6 months old and this is happening almost every time I see my MIL or we send her ...
Postnatal depression and feeling I don’t want to keep being depressing and down infront of my partner all the time incase he gets fed up with me😢 trying to keep positive but finding the days at home lonely and isolating no one to share my feelings with
Feel so overwhelmed
Is anyone else getting a lot of backlash for not wanting their family/friends to kiss their baby? My daughter is due in a month and I'm being made out to be a control freak for not wanting people to kiss her due to the risk of RSV. I'm being made out to be crazy and it honestly just makes me want to cry. I'm now so...
Is there anyone that breastfeeds and takes hair, skin and nail tablets - not sure if it’s allowed? but I’m about a week away from being bald 😂😂
My little boy turned 1 today 🥺🩵 we have had the best day but I feel really sad tonight and I just don't know why. I sort of knew I'd feel emotional but not sad?
Miss Rachel is the only thing keeping my sane right now with illness / teething 😭
Does anyone else live every single day with mum guilt? Not feeling like they’re doing enough, struggling to find the energy to do something with their little one? And just feeling like you’re not giving your child what they deserve? I’m so stressed with feeling like this everyday, I struggle with depression and anxi...
I feel so guilty as I put my LG down she smacked her head on a glass ornament not hard but enough to cause this ⬇️ she cried for a matter of 2-3 seconds then stoped and she seems fine in her self do I call 111 or take her to docs in the morning???? Please I’m a first time mum and I’m panicking I feel like the wors...
So my MIL has basically not checked in on me at all for my whole pregnancy. Didn’t even congratulate me when my husband told her we were pregnant (after a long infertility journey and a few losses). Now that I’m 3 weeks away from giving birth she’s texting me all of a sudden. Wtf
Not really Nov baby relevant but just wanted to get my thoughts out! I have recently started a new job at a special needs school, I've said for years it's my dream job but since being there and being around the children that display aggressive behaviour (5-19 yrs) I have been seriously triggered, I have a violent pa...
My LG had her 8 week injections yesterday morning. Today, she has either been asleep or crying. Anyone else? When will I get my happy baby back?
Hey, So my little one will be 8 weeks old, my labour was pretty traumatic and I’ve been suffering with birth trauma and anxiety since My partner suggested that a night away together to a spa would be a nice treat as we have been struggling with our relationship also. Do you think it’s too soon? My baby girl will be ...
I was abused as a child (CSA) and joined a waitlist for specialist therapy for this in 2021. They finally called me last week to say I’m at the top of the list. The sessions are face to face, but I now have a 5 month old baby that I’m EBF and they said I can’t bring the baby to sessions. Partner works full time from...
My hair loss has really kicked in now! Are there any products people recommend to use to help this??
I just had my first baby, in a country we just moved to a year ago, with zero support system in place and he is premature and at the NiCU. Logically I know all this is a lot to take for anyone and stress and crying and being depressed is normal. But the anxiety monster is constantly telling how not enough I am and b...
