I have a step daughter (12) and a daughter (5). I keep going back and forth with wanting another or not . I personally hate their age gap so I’m Def worried about that. And I feel like somehow I’m “running out of time” . I’m 34. And some days I just am happy to be alone at target when the kids are at school … then o...

Me and my partner have just broken it off- I’m so scared to do it alone- please send some positive thoughts or experiences please

I’m 10 months into maternity leave and I’m so lonely. Everyone else on mat leave seems to be spending their days going for coffee, play dates etc and I seem to only meet people twice a week for baby classes. I’m totally dreading going back to work in august but at the same time I can’t wait to have some adult conve...

Please tell me it’s not only me who suffers with health anxiety since having a little one. I have had some CBT and currently taking medication but nothing seems to help, I am constantly on edge thinking I have serious health problems. Thanks for reading x

The last little while I have been having days where I don’t want to mum I just want 5 minutes to myself or even some time to myself without hearing mum and mummy every 2 minutes or people needing something from me or something needing done that isn’t for myself is this normal to feel this way ?

I have no support system around me.. I wonder if anyone else feels the same

I have no friends and no support system. My parents don't act like they want anything to do with my kids half the time I always have to ask them to watch them. I'm so tired of feeling like no one cares about me or my kids. My husband's parents live a couple hours away and they hardly check on them. My mom favors my ...

My baby is 5 days old and I’m getting so many messages and calls- people asking to see and meet my baby but I don’t want anyone to and feel pressured . The only person I’ve let near or hold my baby is my mum ( partner not around ) is this normal??? I just don’t want people passing my baby around and breathing over ...

I have my section tomorrow , was meant to be Friday but moved due to reduced movements. Any last minute words of encouragement and positive stories please 😊

Just not feeling myself. Feeling like I'm a failure and a burden. Just wish I could run away with my babies and dissappear. I hate feeling like I'm not enough for my bf, not enough for my kids and I absolutely hate feeling like I'm doing it wrong or not doing enough for my kids and my household. I hate asking for h...

I'm 6 weeks post partum and feeling so lonely. I have 1 friend who doesn't live in my town or have children, and feel a bit of an outsider with my family. I love being with my hubby and kids but would like to meet new people, but always feel awkward around people. I keep saying I'm going to go to baby groups with...

It’s my birthday today and I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant so obviously I don’t want to do much. My father was going to do a birthday dinner for me today and ended up canceling it because his girlfriend doesn’t like my husband. And now my husband is out hanging out with his friends and probably won’t be home till la...

I really need support… my partner of 3 years took advantage of me. I feel so empty and alone.

I feel like becoming a Mum has made it so I have no time for me or my husband. My child has mild disabilities our family lives 5 hours away by flight . Every time I want to hire help my husband freaks out that the house is a disaster and then it’s not worth having the help because I had to spend all day cleaning...

Hello, I just feel so lonely and alone. I’m so tired of doing everything alone with no fun in life. Everything is on me, what we do today, where we go, on top of being a single parent. I have no family or friends to do anything with and it’s really getting to me 😢

Anyone else grieving their old body/life. Don’t get me wrong I’m so ready to meet my baby girl and beyond great full for her. But me and my husband are so young and I miss our fun days, I don’t miss the drinking or the smoking I just miss being able to do things with him and not feel sick or be in pain. We’re curren...

My husband and I are currently separated. I’m on a journey of recovery due to his unfaithfulness and trying to work on my relationship with God during our time apart. I’ve come to realize I have no idea what I like to do. I’m a mom to a 2 yo and I’m currently pregnant with my second child. I’ve been married for ...

I'm feeling a bit isolated in my love for the outdoors. It's tough finding friends who share the same passions nearby. While my husband joins occasionally, it's clear he's not as into it & just trying to give me the company I'm seeking. I deeply appreciate his efforts, but it's not quite the same. Most days, I end u...
