Hey girls. I'm 6 months postpartum and 3 pounds shy of my prepregnancy weight. My sex life with my husband had kind of gotten less and less, and me breastfeeding and being really dry down there doesn't help. I'm bad at initiating for fear of rejection even though he's never rejected me. He's told me 'you touch me do...

Birth story: I did it all. Like all the things I can experience, I experienced (minus a vaginal birth). My water broke, so we went to the hospital and when they did their initial check, I wasn’t very dilated. They put me on a cervix ripener, then I started having a bunch of painful contractions. After a few hours of...

How long you have to wait to have sex after vaginal birth ? It been five weeks I don’t feels stitches or anything

Our baby has her first day today and she was awful going into nursery. She has cried at every settling in session and it just broke my heart leaving her today. I was also in tears 🤦🏼‍♀️ dreading taking her back tomorrow already! Has anyone else had this and did it get better with time? I can't stop crying now…

So as we are having winter babies I’m more anxious this time round with bugs and viruses as my first baby was born in June. One of my best friends has a 3 year old daughter who is poorly every time I see her because she’s got a new bug from nursery, she literally ALWAYS has a snotty nose now, how do I tell my friend...

My daughter always seems to be upset, negative, nothing is ever going her way. She turned 9 in June but she has been this way since she was little. I would describe her as a very emotional person!! No matter what happens she looks at the negative as if its hard for her to be happy. Is this normal? I've been hoping ...

I lifted my almost 2 year old babygirl 2 weeks after my c section 😩 First time she was crying because she wanted to sit on the chair with me… so I lifted her up and sat her on my lap 😩 Second time she slipped and bumped her mouth on the edge of the bed. So I lifted her up on the bed so she could watch her iPad…

I have a hard time not being in the room with baby. I recently started putting her in her crib and then going back downstairs to try to get a bit of a bedtime routine. It feels like I’m missing a limb. Not being in the same room with her is so hard, not being able to hear her breathing. I can’t fully relax. Is thi...

Anyone else feeling some ab tightness / soreness or slight pain with their growing bellies? I’m 25 weeks and went through a growth spurt the past 5 weeks and some days my upper abs and sides just feel super tight / sore and a little uncomfortable as my belly is growing. As of now I don’t think its anything to worry ...

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and I’ll have to get knee cap surgery has anyone been thur that while pregnant before? Or having to fix a brown bone while pregnant?

At a point where I should be happy because I’m alive & things are not so bad but I’m just not happy. I just got out of a 16 month relationship with my ex boyfriend who lived with my daughter and I and I feel so abandoned like when her dad left. My head hurt today. I cried and cried! Trying to get myself to fight thi...

Please help how do you make weeing when postpartum less painful. I’m using a perineal bottle but it’s not helping that much and it’s stinging so much. Any advice?

Is anyone else’s baby losing their hair? He pulls it when I’m breastfeeding him so I hold his hand but I think it’s also just falling out too?

I am so unhappy. My baby is so happy and energetic but all I can think about is what he can’t do. All I think about is how he can’t communicate his wants and needs. I’m glad he can run, play, laugh, learn but i keep thinking about his deficits. I can’t afford speech therapy or ABA and he is suffering because of it. ...

I keep thinking what would make me better and happy. All I can think of is leaving. The hardest part of being a stay at home mom is there being no work life balance. I got married shortly after alot of trauma. Got pregnant 4months after. It's been about 6 years since I've felt semi okay and I feel like idk how I can...

People be saying how I’m behaving now my baby will be like this so like sleeping a lot or eating a lot. My mum is telling me to stop being angry because my baby will be angry too when it’s here lol 🤣 is that true in any cases?

I’ve been dealing with postpartum rage on and off for almost two years. I’m on anxiety medication which helps some but not all. I recently found out I’m pregnant and the pregnancy rage is unreal. I can go from zero to sixty with no warning, over stupid things. After I’m left drained and feeling so incredibly embarra...

My daughter cry’s very dramatic. For everything! I understand she’s a baby. Example: I told her she can’t put her mouth on the store cart & she throws her self back & cry’s so loud full of tears. Everyone is looking like I did something to her or maybe judging. I learn to just leave her alone & calm down. Then I’l...
