My beautiful daughter is 4MO and is everything I couldāve hoped for in a daughter and we are SO happy together š my Bd who lives in another state now and abandoned me during pregnancy and only reached out a month after she was born (has yet to meet daughter irl) wants 50/50 decision making rights. Tomorrow is theā¦
I find my only two emotions are either anxious/angry or numbš„¹
Itās just comments but itās also hurtful as a first time mom like who wants to hear comments on their babies looks even before she comes out the womb. Just venting but has this ever happen to you ?
Ahhh I just used lemongrass essential oil on my scalp for a hair treatment and some ended up going in my eye and I definitely ingested a little bit. After my choking fit subsided I thought to look up the danger of Lemongrass Essential oil in pregnancy and it said it is known to stimulate uterus and menstrual flow. A...
So I had my daughter on the 13th and I have severe separation anxiety with her Iām wondering if this is normal
Hi all, baby girl is 1 week and 5 days old. However her umbilical cord still hasnāt fallen off. We noticed it bleeding the other day so we took her to A&E to make sure it wasnāt infected and it wasnāt but they did say it isnāt healing much under the clamp, whereas the top is fully healed. Theyāve told us to keep an ...
My 18 month has been suffering with separation anxiety. It's at its worse when other people are around including her dad. I spend the most time with my daughter since she was born and she only goes to nursery a few hours a week. For a few months now when friends/family/partner is around she only wants me. She will ...
Hi Ladies, have any of you had a cervical cerclarge, and how did you manage until the baby was born? I had the cerclarge almost 2 weeks ago, and I feel like I can't do anything active without activating painful cramps and the need to lie down.
Dad is a veryā logical āman and this really means he doesnāt consider anything to do with like feelings, Iām very emotional, an empath, if you will. Iām afraid he might just push me into depression, rage, and psychosis with his neglect. Iām so afraid for my mental health with no one to assure me it will be okay. Eve...
I gave birth last week and have a second degree tear. I struggle with walking as a pad rubs on my stitches and also struggle to sit down. The only pain relief I can take is paracetamol but know it can be addictive. Is there any other things I can do to help relieve the pain. I also have a 9year old stepchild whoās n...
I feel so ready to give birthš Iām so miserable already, my body cannot longer handle it, and Iām also so moody this past few days, like I get so stressed out in seconds for every little thing, and all I want to do is cry. I feel so much pubic pain and belly as well. Barely canāt walk, when I pee I feel this babyā¦
So someone I know through my boyfriend told me that my bfs mom is planning to foster the baby and involve CPS the second itās born??? I donāt know if itās true or not, I have reasons to believe and to not believe it. Either way itās a concerning statement. Before I found out I was pregnant my bf and I used drugs, ...
HELP!š I gave birth nearly 3 weeks ago to my little girl. However, I have for the last week - maybe longer, been suffering awfully with haemorrhoids. I have the natural cream as I am breast feeding but it is agony. Any tips on what else I can do to help myself? The itching, pain while in the toilet and sittingā¦
Currently pregnant and struggling extremely hard with depression. Iāve expressed to my partner my depression and he brushes it off and says I use it as an excuse to be lazy. He doesnāt comfort me, support me, he actually does everything to avoid me (yes, he has said this to my face countless times). Iām just looking...
My husband and I (located in the US) originally agreed to circumcise our son, who will be born in June. We agreed because of some of the minor health benefits and so that he would āmatch his dad.ā After reading some more opinions Iām so TORN on this decision. Mostly because I object to any type of alterations to ani...
First time mom, my Bf felt scared and has decided he doesnāt want to do anything with me anymore, was on and off the relationship and he blame me for everything, but wants to still be part of the baby life even though has not been present during my pregnancy. So many thoughts running through my head, donāt even kno...

Social services are compulsive liars towards me , making out that I can't meet my son's needs , she had on observation a few weeks ago and said I couldn't meet my son's needs.... But how would she know that if she didn't pay attention and was busy gassing to another contact worker , she is making out that I would st...
Is anyone else struggling with getting out and about? I worry that I don't get out enough with baby. We don't attend many classes mostly because I'm quite anxious about feeding and nap times. Am I a bad mum for not giving my baby enough stimulation? Anyone else feel the same?
