Postpartum Care

4 weeks PP on Monday and I’ve definitely had the baby blues a lot. I wouldn’t say I’m at the PPD stage but I have this feeling of this is all temporary and I’m waiting for things to go back to normal, then get the sudden ‘dread’ / anxiety feeling knowing actually this is permanent and life will never be the same aga...

I want them to stay safe and know they’re loved. I think this is the hardest part of motherhood for me. That eventually one day, we can’t protect them like we want 😭 sorry if I just ruined the vibe

My husband and I have a really good friends that are a couple, really good that we are like family, we had been through a lot together. They had 2 babies and we were going on vacation together. Then I had my first in the middle of covid and got a little afraid so I protected my baby by not going out a lot, they cont...

BD broke up with me and not even a week later flirted with a girl. I’m 7 month PP and very insecure. I can’t believe I gave my body to create a whole human with someone who doesn’t appreciate it at all. Wtf.

I actually can’t do it. My 16 week old baby girl has been screaming for 3.5 hours now and she’s WAY past her wake window. I tried putting her down and rocking and dummy and more milk but nothing is working. She’s a very miserable child but not this bad. I’m struggling so much and I feel so disconnected from her whic...

My SIL to be is having a hen party. We're not close & it's not my cup of tea but I don't want to be hated for not attending. I've never felt I fit in with the family yet want to feel accepted. I suffered multiple miscarriages last year & it's out of sight out of mind for everyone else, they see me smile in pictures...

For those mummy’s who have already had their little ones, how did you cope with partners returning to work after Pat Leave? My other half is due back to work on Monday and it’s safe to say I’ve been an emotional wreck everyday, multiple times a day, feeling crippled with anxiety and fears of being on my own. Any...

Helloooo! My little girl is almost 2 months. I’m a first time SAHM going stir crazy but when I take her out to do normal things ( like the grocery store) it’s very overwhelming. But I can’t just sit home anymore 🙃🤣 Any one gone through this. ?

My husband is not supportive and emotionally abusive

Am I the only one not getting oral from my husband?? He used to love it, then I got pregnant and he said I “tasted” different. Apparently so different that it’s awful, and he never does it anymore. I’ve tried talking about it, and I even asked if he’d be willing to use flavored lube, but he said he doesn’t like th...

Anyone got their babies circumsion after 7 months? Is it safe? How did they handle it

I feel like it is forcing me to stop being lazy since I have no choice now. I have to go out more , make sure baby is constantly getting fed and my life is completely different. I know there is so much more to come and I will be a busy bee.

Does this statement really piss anybody else off? I don't want to go out and leave her with anybody yet. She's a part of me, EBF and I have no interest in giving her a bottle. I can leave her in another room while I shower. Put her down to cook dinner. If she's happy, I'm happy. I'm not ready for the anxiety of wond...

Please tell me it gets better! It’s been almost a year since this threenager age started of a never ending emotional rollercoaster of mood swings and paddying all of the time it’s literally just at the flip of the switch. I’m talking the slightest thing we’re asking at the minute to put clothes on it’s just one bi...

I’m an only child and before I had my 14mo I always wanted three kids. My husband is one of two and wanted at least two. But I struggled with postnatal depression and anxiety and only found the best treatment when my daughter was a year old. She was also a NICU baby and I missed her first feed and change and didn’t ...
