Postpartum Care

I’m probably being over sensitive but when we were out today my baby (8 weeks) was absolutely fine one minute and then started crying, I realised she needed a nappy change so took her to the toilet where they had a changing table and she was crying hysterically by this point and just continued the entire time I was ...

My direct coworker (it's a 3 person department) just had her baby and informed my other two coworkers and not me, including for her pregnancy as well. I'm feeling a bit hurt about it especially since it's the second time but want to muster through my feelings and say congrats on her bundle. Should I?

When is this shedding going to stop 🥺?? I feel like I’m shedding a winter coat 😬My hair started falling two weeks ago and this is the amount of hair I lose every time I brush my hair after washing it. On top of that I lose the same amount while I wash it and probably in total the same amount during the day. My…

TMI sorry- I’m really struggling with a swollen perineum, while all other swelling is going down I feel like I’m just constantly suffering and struggle to sit, walk etc How long did it take you mumma’s to heal? I really want to see the light at the end of the tunnel 😂

Let me start this by saying I had a traumatic pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. I was bed bound for my whole pregnancy, had to give birth under GA and have spent the 16 weeks of my baby’s life with an open c-section wound with a big drain I have to carry around. I almost died because of this infection. On top o...

When someone is mid argument or just pissed off in general do you think they say things they don’t mean or saying how they really feel?

My little girl is 5 months old and I haven’t left her yet and I’m still not ready to leave her, my ex (emotionally abusive, addicted to drugs - you know the type) is on and on about having her. I won’t be in his presence anymore he has been nothing but disrespectful and horrid to me since she was born. Where do I st...

I have a 6 week old and 3 year old and the last few days have been so so hard. Baby is becoming more aware of her surroundings instead of being asleep most of the time, and with that is coming a lot of crying. The problem is I am with them alone a lot of the time and there are times baby just has to be put down so...

I think I’m starting to get mastitis, my left breast is so sore and warm to touch. I don’t have a lump though so am unsure. But as the day has progressed it’s felt worse and I’m now starting to feel run down and achy (I don’t know if it’s connected) I’m going to call the drs tomorrow. But just wondered if anyone h...

I was SA which resulted in my pregnancy for my May 2024 baby. I instantly told my best friend a day after the assault happened and cried to her and etc. At times when we have conversations or just reflect on things from the past.. she always says “wait so how did it happen again” or “I don’t remember” while speaking...

I’m sure someone has already talked about this before but I am in the thick of it. It’s coming out by the clumps. 😩 ladies, what are we doing about it?

My daughter turned one recently today after crying she kind of had a spasm of her head going left twice in a row ( now mind you) few months back she did an eeg because she was crying for a long time and did it a lot like it wouldn’t stop turned out everything was fine and she just cried so much worked herself up but...

Ugh I’m an idiot. 2 weeks postpartum from a C section and have been so exhausted and sleep deprived. Also combined with mom brain caring for a toddler. I’ve been taking Tylenol and Motrin around the clock but I just realized there were about 3 instances last week when I accidentally doubled my Motrin dose. I never...

I'm 8 months postpartum. I've never been a big sex girly, I can live without it. Lately when I think about having sex I just feel discussed. My husband of course gets upset that I never want to have sex. But here I am with a 8 month old baby all day every day, the last thing I want to do is for us to have sex when I...

It's crippling me. I'm turning into a nervous wrek who just feels paralysed. Wanted such a productive day while little one is at nursery but I'm doing nothing but doom scrolling, unable to get on with anything. How do get out of this mindset

I’m just really curious as currently considering vaginal vs elective surgery for this baby. Second baby. What are you all doing? Is this your first or second/third etc
