Lately I have felt like ‘ I am stuck in a rut ‘ - I’m a single mom to my beautiful 2 girls and they are my absolute world 🩷 However mentally I feel so low, drained, exhausted, fed up, bored, lonely.. the list goes on.

My baby’s 6 months and I let her go with her grandmother and aunt (dad’s mom and sister) for a week. I feel guilty and a little sad is that normal? My first baby had never been without me she went to sleep seeing me she won’t wake up with me. Is it too early for her to be away from me for a whole week? 💔😭

Did you lose connections, friendships, distanced yourself? Does this happen to postpartum moms? I had to disconnect myself to certain people because I realize they wasn't REAL connections, they wasn't real supportive friends. Or am I overthinking? ....

Has anyone else started to feel like they just want to be left alone? I’m finding that being around people or being fussed by people is really stressing me out and frustrating. All I want to do is be left alone, stay home and potter about. I have a midwife appointment on Tuesday so I’ll mention it to her then. I was...

If you're feeling stuck and looking for ways to practice self-care, start by asking yourself: "What brings me joy?" If nothing comes to mind, then think back to what brought you joy as a kid - maybe it was painting, dancing, or playing outside. Reconnecting with those activities can help you relax and recharge. ...

I thought I’d try posting here and see if I can get some advice.. I have a 6 week old perfect little baby boy and I’m so happy to be a mum finally, but both sides of our family have been nowhere to be seen and we’ve been doing this alone with no help or support apart from my friends who have dropped in (but they all...

I’m guessing our whole group missed out on baby groups, leaving the house, or any way of making friends with other people about to go through the same thing. Did anyone else loose friends and experience ever increasing isolation after the end of lockdown?

Anyone else due soon and just beyond scared?? Especially as a single mommy I feel so alone and sad sometimes is that just me?

is anyone else so attached to their other half? i saw my partner 2 days ago.. we don’t live together and we’re both under 21.. he goes home occasionally to see his family and he works away from monday to friday.. i feel so awful when he has to leave, i have a whole break down because im so physically, mentally and e...

Anyone else feel so alone in your pregnancy? I feel like everyone hates me since becoming pregnant. I haven’t heard from what I thought were my two best friends since becoming pregnant.. everyone says im here if you need anything but I reach out and I’m ignored.. I feel so alone..😞

I hate to say it and I've been really trying to deny it to myself for the last 4 months since my little one was born but I dont like being a mum. I love him more than anything in the world but I hate being the mum. I miss having a second to myself already. I'm not coping.For instance, today I've managed to have one...

Some times I feel guilty for wanting a break from my son and just wanting a moment for myself every now and again. Does that make me a bad person to want to time for myself?

Hey guys, does anyone else feel immense guilt about going out for every wake time. This morning is my first morning at home with my son after 3 days at work and I just cba to leave the house so we will go out after his nap but I’ve spent the whole morning feeling guilty 😩

I'm finding everything really hard at the moment. I've recently become single after 10 years with my husband. I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm 13 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. Finding everything so difficult at the moment to do the simplest tasks. I cry almost everyday and can't seem to get past it. How do you eve...

My baby has had a dummy since birth and screen time since she was about 2 months old- dory cam got her off to sleep wonderfully. As we all know this journey is HARD so if something gives you abit of peace for even half an...

Hey mummas, This is my first baby, I love him with my whole heart but I’m struggling. We don’t live near any family and I’m finding it really tough not having anyone to turn to for any help or support. My baby has never slept through the night, I’ve never known tiredness like this - I think I’m extra sleep depri...
