Since I have found out I was pregnant, I just seem to be more in patient with things & people around me. Like, my mood is just off and I get annoyed p***ed off so easily. It doesn’t help as well as I have an up tight mother who just doesn’t help my feelings/emotions. I get it is a lot and I have already got a lot g...

Help, I’m 34 weeks today, & really struggling with my mental health. Really randomly I’ll just want to cry for hours, or find myself blankly staring at the wall for hours. When my partner asks me what’s wrong, I honestly don’t know what to answer, as I don’t know what’s making me so upset. I’ve never suffered with m...

I think my psycho MIL sent my husband’s ex girlfriend my way to get information about my child. Background information: My husband had this girlfriend from 13-16 and they were child-hood friends, first loves blah blah blah basically she ended up cheating on him with one of his best friends. Flash forward to now, m...

Prior to my first baby I was a bodybuilder. 140 lbs nothing but muscle. After I had my daughter I had some PPD/PPA along with a SUPER toxic job. I didn’t lose the weight...

Hi. I feel like I’m going to sound insane but I need to get this off my chest and see if anyone else out there relates. I’ve lately been looking at my little one, feeling like I can’t look at him hard enough. Like I want to imprint his little face on my brain and in my memories. I feel like every moment passes too...

Finally gave birth to our sweet boy six days ago. He was 6 days late and was delivered just twenty minutes after I was taken into the labor and delivery room! 😅 anywho, I forgot how humiliating and depressing postpartum hemorrhoids are. 😭😭😭😓😓😓anyone else?

So my baby has just had an absolute melt down, she wanted her bottle, I tried to make her the bottle however with it being so hot I couldn’t get it to cool quick enough, whilst this was happening I was walking around the house trying to soothe her, It was so hot in the house so of course that gets you a little more ...

We are going on baby #2 but baby #1 I had to have a C-section because after five hours of pushing he didn't want to come out... There were complications during his birth. But anyways I mentioned my concerns with this baby and being scared of not being able to push him out and my baby father says I have a big vagina ...

I’ve been trying to stay sane throughout this whole thing. But honestly I’m losing it. It’s so hard to see other children doing all the things so easily and I’m out here trying 10 times harder and getting no where with my child. Therapies are so expensive that I can’t afford to put her in them, and the minimal suppo...

Anyone else finding postpartum hard mentally? Some days I feel like jumping off a cliff but then remember I have my LO and he needs me. My husband is not emotionally supportive either so that doesn’t help. He’s the most amazing guy and dad but lacks that. I feel alone, my entire pregnancy all I had was opinions...

Please please give me any advice and ideas or techniques how to stay in your zen or quickly go back to it. I am really struggling to keep my cool as ev...

My baby girl of one month old seems to not bond with me, and only her dad. I know that at a month old she is not very developed socially and is not even yet at the stage of smiling. But she will look at him, in his eyes, and seems like there's a connection. He can calm her too. With me she avoids eye contact but wh...

There's this guy I've been talking to for a couple months. It hasn't even been that long (not even 3 full months) and it's already going to shit lol I really liked him, I get attached easy so that's on me but he was a really cool dude and I enjoyed his friendship. But I feel like either he was looking for something...

Those who have had a second period, how long was it after the first one?

I spent the weekend solo-parenting while my partner was away. This was the first time I was alone with my little one for so long and I had recurrent thoughts of “what if something happens to me, what if I die while I’m alone with her”. I haven’t had those kinds of thoughts at all otherwise. Has this type of sudden a...

Anyone else's having deep emotional issues with your mom since having baby? I just tried to have a talk with my mom because I have to constantly fight my way to parent with her. She doesn't say how I should do things BUT she will constantly tell me when I share my way to do it "ME when you were little, I just coul...
