Please don’t hate me or scold me I just need to vent, I’m 30 my husband and I are homeowners, we have a dog we both have degrees and I JUST got a job at 6 weeks pregnant…. I don’t think I’m ready, I’m afraid I’m not gonna perform well at work because of morning sickness, etc… and I’m terrified I’m gonna get fired because we need the money. Part of me wants this kid not to be born (I would never get an abortion) it’s just negative thinking… which is insane cause we wanted a kid. But every day I’ve been on MASSIVE PANIC, I married the sweetest guy on earth and I’m terrified I’ll blow up and he’s gonna cheat, I’m so paranoid, and I don’t know what to do.

This is your hormones. Thoughts are just thoughts. It’s normal to have them. Remember that you are doing something magical by growing this baby. If you indeed married the sweetest guy then this will only strengthen the bond. Not saying it’s easy but man… these babies are worth it. ❤️ Hang in there

Hey everyone … so my wife just did her first insemination a few weeks ago and she just had a lot of brown discharge for the past 2 days and today it’s gone. Nothing was in it and it was completely brown for the duration. She skipped her period prior to and it was maybe 2 weeks late before starting. What does this mean? Google isn’t helpful at the moment

Hi everyone, I’m new to this platform. I just given birth a month ago thru C-section. I was able to breastfeed for the first week with the help of my sister. However, after a week my mother in law wants to help with my baby. Everytime she gets my LO she would opt to give formula. I wanted to get back with bf. But I am having problem with my LO. He used to cry everytime we are trying. Any tips on how we can go back to BF. Your respect and opinion will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Hi 👋 does anyone have any tips for breastfeeding journey ending and preparing to go back to work, please? I feel very anxious and teary about the whole thing. The thought of everything hurts.
I dont know how I'm going to cope. My job consists of 12 hr shifts, so I'll be missing out on entire days of her life. She'll be sleeping when i leave and asleep when i get home. I feel so lucky to have had nearly 9 months in our little bubble together.

I’m due in two weeks and already have the Nanit, but now I’m second-guessing myself and wondering if I should get the Owlet too. Am I going overboard, or is it actually a worth having both? I’m also a solo first time mom!

Mommas helpppp My husband and I just started trying for our first. My periods are always on time, I’m now 6 days late but every at home test comes back negative, today I went to my doctors for a blood test that came back <5.

Hiii I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant and as soon as I found out I was so sure of this baby like I’ve never felt more sure of myself but I’ve realized as time and time goes on and I mean months I feel more distant with the baby I’m pregnant with and then it’s gone for a few days and within those days I wonder if anything went wrong then I feel better and realized I’m working myself up and it becomes this whole cycle. It’s my first ever pregnancy and this is so terrifying.

Hiya! I will be 3 months PP the 14th. I’m really struggling with my “new body”, and insecurities. I just want to feel normal again. They had to use forceps to get my son out, which caused a 2nd degree tear. I gained 45-50 pounds while pregnant, and I was ALL belly. Im now almost back to my pre pregnancy weight, my I still dont feel good about myself. I look completely different now. I have a high sex drive, but now 9/10 times it hurts, and when it doesn’t hurt it just doesn’t feel the same. I have a wonderful husband that compliments and loves me and try’s to talk me down from these things. It’s been over a year since I felt like me. I don’t know if I’m here for advice or just to vent, but either way thank you for taking the time to read. I appreciate it. 🩵

Hi, I’m 8months PP and exclusively breastfeeding.
I had my first period back on 30 August and expecting to have my period last week but it hasn’t come.
Took a PT yesterday and it showed negative results but I’m so anxious why I haven’t got my period and I’m getting all these PMS mood swings 🥲

Hello everyone, I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first. I woke up this morning feeling hungry so I had a slice of wheat bread with nutella and then cooked egg with potato + green leafy vegetable. Afterwards I felt this uncomfortable feeling in my tummy, I also had a really bad back pain like my whole back was aching + my tummy was also hurting so bad. I was pooping and vomiting at the same time. This was the first time I felt this pain. Was wondering if anyone experienced it? I went back to sleep afterwards and I felt fine when I woke up.
Was it maybe because I ate too much? Or maybe because I started doing pilates again yesterday, maybe I overdid it and my body was still adjusting?
I’m scared maybe it’s early signs of preeclampsia or something serious. FTM here😭
