From a mother to anotherrediscover motherood. You are not alone.
Motherhood transforms you.
At times, it can feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself.
Created by mums, for mums, Mum Love is a charity that aims to recognise, normalise, and help counteract the identity loss and role confusion many people experience after becoming a parent.
The Mum Love website comprises real mums’ stories, practical resources and empirical evidence to provide parents with a toolkit - and more importantly a community - that listens, understands and supports.
But first, we need you. Share your story, and be part of our community to support each other through change.
Through these actions, Mum Love exists to drive cultural, clinical, and policy change for new parents. .
Too many mothers lose their sense of self after having children, yet few talk about it. The world celebrates the baby but forgets the woman.
62% of new mums feel they have lost a part of their identity since giving birth, and 92% of new mums feel judged during baby’s first year.
That’s a loss of self, combined with a sense that “I’m getting it all wrong.” And in an isolated society, no-one to share these feelings with.
Mum Love was created to change that. To give mothers a voice, a safe space, and the support to rebuild identity, purpose, and confidence.
Through community, resources and policy change, Mum Love aims to help mums reconcile the person they ‘were’ with the person they are becoming.

REAL STORIES. REAL VOICES.
Identity loss looks different for every mother. It might be your hard-earned high-flying career. It might be your confidence, your creativity, or simply a lack of connection. We’re here to help.
Here you’ll find unfiltered diary entries from mothers at every stage of rediscovery. Proof that you’re not the only one feeling this way.
There is healing in being heard.

A Community Supporting Mothers Through Rediscovery
Mum Love is more than a community, it’s a movement for change. We are raising awareness of maternal identity loss so that it’s recognised, supported, and understood in healthcare, workplaces, and homes.
Together, we are redefining what it means to be a mother - whole, seen, and unapologetically yourself.
Whether you’re seeking real stories, honest conversations, meaningful community, or gentle guidance, this space is here to support your rediscovery.
Explore the paths below and take the step that feels right for you.

“I CRY BECAUSE THE FEEL OF MY OWN BODY IS COMPLETELY UNKOWN TO ME AND NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT THAT.”
Hollie McNish, Nobody Told Me
Becoming a mum in a blended family brought guilt, resentment, and fear of failure, but as time passed, love grew and I learned that change doesn’t mean you’re a bad stepmum - it means your family is evolving.
