Guys. What the heck. My mother and MIL are not respecting my boundaries. I’m struggling really bad right now with staying cool calm and collected. I cant even be around my mother without me getting super stressed out and angry. Any advice?? Examples are they don’t agree with what my husband and I want. My mom thin...

Hey girls, please tell me if I’m overreacting, but I’m getting annoyed by my MIL repeatedly calling my 9 month old baby a ‘fibber’. It’s mainly when I’ve left them in a room alone together and as soon as I come back my baby looks at me and cries for me to pick her up. My MIL instantly says ‘oh you’re such a fibber’ ...

Anyone else having disagreements with their partner and not always sure how to manage it? It’s normally minor stuff, like what car seat or pushchair to get and we’re just not agreeing. But can sometimes be bigger topics. Not sure how best to resolve them and worried that they’ll be so many more!

It’s been 5 days just want to know how long bleeding and stitches take to recover?

Me and my bf recently started doing exchanges with our 6 month olds. It’s hard being away from my baby for those 2 days. The relationship with me and my bd is not the best at all. I don’t think it could ever work between us from everything that has happened both on his part and mine. I often think to myself when he ...

Anyone else out there really struggling with pregnancy/labor/post partum trauma? I’m 5 months post partum and still struggling daily.

Finding outfits to wear after having a baby is mental abuse

Hi I had my little boy 8 days ago. During the birth I had a second degree tear.

3 months postpartum and I’ve been hoping this feeling would go away, but it’s just getting worse. I just can’t stand being around him, talking to him, sleeping next to him, or being touched 90% of the time. Before baby we had a good relationship, not perfect, but I definitely didn’t feel this way. Now it’s not even ...

Anyone still experiencing hair loss ? Im 16 months postpartum.

Not much point to this post I guess I just want to see if anyone else is feeling the same way.
