I’m almost 37 weeks and my baby shower is this weekend. My family is traveling from all over the world to be here for one day and his own mom won’t even show up for stupid reasons and she lives 15 minutes away. Mind you she knew about this since September. I’m starting not to like her but I just need some advice on ...

So today was the first day in a long time I asked for help and I don't like doing it as no one really helps me or I get told off. Well I got told no due to parent not feeling well, then was made to feel bad but her friend has asked her to go hospital with her and is happy to help. Please if I'm in the wrong for feel...

It’s been said a lot of times in the group but I can’t get my head around why my baby would cry for hours on end without a particular reason. He had stopped for a bit and this week has been back at it, purple crying for hours as if he’s been hypnotized. Waking up every hour of the night crying. Being super fussy d...

Hi, ive always struggled with my mental health but at the moment I'm really struggling with the worst anxiety attacks and unpleasant thoughts at night when I'm trying to sleep, I had one that lasted two hours straight last night I kept going hot and cold, I kept crying and was shaking violently and I'm so scared. I ...

Feel like the worst mum I put my little girl on the bed with the cushions by her but she must of rolled onto her belly and onto the floor I had run into the other room to get my toddler out of his cot and it was a few seconds. She was face down on the floor crying . She’s been herself all morning and was laughing a ...

Hello mommas. I need some guidance. I have a step daughter who has been dealing with gender identity issues for a few years now. It went way farther than it was ever supposed to due to her mother going back on our agreement to not medicalize until she was an adult and could make the decisions herself. My husband and...

Have you had sex already since giving birth, either vaginally or via a C-Section!

I am a mom to a 14month old baby girl. I have been with my fiance for almost 3 years, I am in such a bad place with him that everytime I tell him something that is bothering me, he says I’m being difficult. We started counseling back in December and he is very quick to tell me when I’m not putting our sessions into ...

2under2 is it a nightmare when I’m alone. I can’t split myself in two. I feel like crap for doing this to my kids. They both deserve undivided attention and I took that from them. My toddler wants to be picked up every time the baby cries. He cries and it breaks my little heart. She also needs to be picked up more a...

My feet look crazy, I don’t exercise as much as I’d like, I hate my diet because i...

Do you think surgical castration should be used as a punishment for sex offenders? Why or why not?

Baby was a surprise and I love her so much I just wish so badly I could have planned her. I feel like no one talks about how hard it is to have an unplanned child cause you’re so happy they’re here but are just not prepared.. I always thought I’d be prepared and ready for kids.. and I’m not.. I have no idea what I’m...

I moved to the US only four months before the birth of my baby and I had no idea how much you’re left to yourself once the baby is born 😞 I come from Denmark where checkups on mom and baby are super thorough and often. A nurse comes to your home several times within the first month and then about every month for…

Let’s release our thought to be mom failures. Past or present. I now and often feel like I am a failure taking care of two kids. Currently they both have diaper rash and I feel like it’s my fault. The root issue is constantly feeling like I am not tending enough to one or both of them and it’s hard. And so all the ...

I’m almost 7 months postpartum with my first when I was 40, now 41. Objectively I had a fairly ok birth and a healthy baby so I know it’s not the worse case scenario. But I feel terrible. Again I know it can be worse, but I felt like I had a pretty traumatic birth. I lost a lot of blood (more than 1 liter) from an...
