Postpartum Care

So my work doesn't have HR and I've got mastitis because of a blocked milk duct that was ignored because I wasn't allowed to leave work. I told them from morning when it wasn't so bad and they said I need to hold up because they needed me. And then about an hour before we had to finish they sent me home cause I was ...

And how he has a daughter now and I'm unsure if I should tell more than my immediate family about what happened or how I should do that. Well I recently learned through a connection that he has become a major Nazi conspiracy theorist and is like...way into Hitler. And esoteric neo Nazism. I've heard people are sayi...

Hi, my baby seems to have no stranger danger at all and I’m freaking about it! Everything I’ve read says she should have this, and separation anxiety is a normal part of development. She smiles at everyone and We were at a playgroup today and she was crawling up to the other mums and climbing up their legs etc, then...

I was just wondering if anyone else has been suffering with post partum anxiety. I didn’t even realise it was happening but it seems to be health related to my little boy - mostly at night and it’s keeping me up worrying that something is going to go wrong. Does anyone have the owlet sock or the Sense-U sock and ...

I had baby nearly 2 weeks ago. I was aware that baby blues can happen a few days afterwards although I don’t recall this happening with my first. But for the past few days I have been feeling incredibly down. I am absolutely exhausted. But I feel no enthusiasm for doing anything. I’m still quite sore from birth, ge...

I’m being vulnerable because I truly don’t have anyone to talk to. I was very sexually active in my teens and early 20s and have a high body and I am ashamed. I’ve been tested before and thankfully did not have stds, I withheld the truth about my past from my husband and came to tell him the truth and rightfully so ...

I’m 5 weeks post partum and think I might have a fractured tailbone… do I need to go to an urgent care or see my obgyn or just keep waiting it out? Any insight would be great, thank you mommas!

Any time any man (other than my partner) tries to hold my little girl or interact with her from a distance/in the pram, she screams until me or my partner hold her?!😅 That includes my dad, my father in law, her cousins and any stranger on the street… I don’t know where this has come from and it’s developed in the…

Sometimes I hate being married with kids not because of my husband but because I have to meet his needs plus meet the kids needs as well as mine. I feel pulled in so many different directions and it’s taking a toll on my mental health. I have to figure out life handling 3 kids with three different issues and then th...

me and my partner have been living with my mom until we can get out of the financial situation we are in. she’s sucking us dry of the little money we have every month. I feel so overwhelmed all I can do is cry. I’m so depressed and feel tired 24/7.. I hate living like this.

My Bd and I can barely have a conversation these days. He says I’m disrespectful because I interrupt him when he speaks which he thinks justifies him to be verbally abusive. I dont say anything spiteful to him just at times I talk over him to express myself. He verbally attacks my appearance, character, says I am re...

Please read to the end… Hey, so I’ve been through a lot since having my daughter. She’s 4 years old now but since she was born I’ve been divorced & have had a hard time being a single mum in general. I never really took her to baby classes or environments where she can see other children apart from going to nursery...

Does anyone actually believe you can influence the sex of your baby by diet, time of sex, etc?…

Has anyone had a transverse baby laying back down? My baby has been in a transverse position for a few weeks now I’m currently 32 weeks but recently found out transverse baby’s that are back down can be hard to deliver even through a c-section which can sometimes result in a vertical incision. However being on the l...

I'm struggling. I have 2 under 3 (20 months apart) I don't remember being so easily triggered/upset/annoyed/angry with others. I swear it started with motherhood. My husband made a comment about my rage awhile back and it just hasn't sit well with me. He feels like he's constantly walking on eggshells with me and I...
