So I was looking for something and then I went into a draw and found condoms.. me and my partner haven't used them in 9 years... I went into total shock I couldn't breathe and I had to sit down on the kitchen floor... I just... I dont even know. They weren't exactly hidden they were on the top of the crap that's in ...

Girls, I’m hoping to be going away Monday morning however my GP can’t see me before then and my midwife doesn’t issue fit to fly notes. I was going to use an online service called zoomdoc where you upload your pregnancy notes and if everything is well they send you the certificate. However, i want to make sure it’s ...

When you find out your husband is masterbating but you’ve been asking for sex. How does that make you feel?

Sorry not baby/child related but we’re going to a wedding next week and have no idea how much is the norm to give They have only asked for money.

I’m about to go on a homicidal rampage bc my bf of 6 yrs is irritating me so much. I’m 36 weeks pregnant and we share a one bedroom apt. He has friends over 24/7 and stays up till 5am every day playing games and blasting music. Also he will get extremely cooked on weed smoking inside of our apartment and it pisses m...

My parter is always at work and all my family & friends are at work too. I feel so lonely and even though they all offer support, it’s hard for them to do it when they are all working. I don’t have any friends who are at the same stage as me so I have no one to talk to or hang out with who’s also had a baby. Some ...

Hey Yall! I’m in need of some help! So I’m a sahm with my 7 month old boy and my husband works full time and he loves his job but we aren’t making enough money to cover our bills. I would hate for him to have to leave his work cause he’s finally found a job he’s been enjoying. Anyway, I would like to help with our s...

My flexible working request was denied today, and I’m absolutely devastated. They have offered an alternatively to me which I might make work, but it will mean I no longer need my MIL to have little one. She volunteered to have him Fridays because she wanted to drop a day anyway so we have agreed thats the plan. Sh...

My partner was scared at first thinking he was going to “hurt” the baby lol. Has anyone had a similar experience or what has been yours?

Me and my husband are going thru a lot ( mainly because of him!) now he wants to give his life to God and wants to change so he says

Howdy all! My husband is wanting to show me that he still loves me and finds me sexy even when i really don't...... He really wants us to have some adult time before baby boy is here, but im 34+5 weeks and i just don't feel like we should be doing that anymore. Is it still safe to?

My bf of almost 7 years and the father of my 4 year old and I split last week. He was my person.. and I'm feeling completely broken. I'm new here and looking for some mom friends/support. My 4 year old is a handful, it takes all my energy just to manage my job lately. I'm struggling :(

To sum it up, Me and my baby are in mother & baby placements (social care due to circumstances. I have full pr) Current placement has come to an end and need to be left by tomorrow. Only place available was visited yesterday but wasn’t too keen. Baby wouldn’t have her own room (currently has one and due to certain l...

As of today I'm in my third trimester! I feel so unprepared but it's because I don't have any money to buy anything and it's just me supporting myself. BD and I aren't together and I don't really have any family around. My friends have helped me so much but they can only do so much. I've used/ gotten a couple free i...

Just curious, When did you feel okay to have some time away from baby, like catching up with friends or a date night, Afternoon / evening etc?

All I said was that I didn’t want to spend an hour or two and have everyone sit down and watch me open every single gift. I am having a baby shower out of state where my family is, and she’s flying out but being weird/rude? Wanting to return the gifts now??? Since I said I didn’t want to make a big production out of...

My BD and i haven’t been in contact due to him being verbally abusive and disrespectful over and over. His mom reached out to me to talk about the baby and him, she claims, and I’m thinking it’s bc i told him i wouldn’t put him on the birth certificate. She’s never reached out to me before and i don’t want to be rud...

Hi mamas! What birth control are you all using? I’m 4 months PP and got the Paragard copper IUD in March because I really didn’t wanna get anything with hormones. I had a small period, very light and short period in April but this month is the period from HELL. I’m bleeding through super tampons within like 2 hours....

I have a friend who I’ve been friends with since elementary school. She’s always been a self centered person to an extent, but lately in the last two years has really gotten selfish. She breaks up marriages for fun by sleeping with married men, she’s always pawning her kids off on family, recently leaving her two ki...

One of my old school friends had a baby last year and we got talking again on messenger as I know how hard and lonely it can be having babies and just wanted to lend an ear when she needed it. She fell out with two of my best friends a few years ago but she has never done any harm to me. They knew I had spoken to he...
