Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Honestly . Post partum is hard. Everyone makes it seem so easy & like it’s this magical experience. It is all supposed to come naturally but for me I feel like it’s been one of the most challenging things I ever had to do. I know absolutely nothing and everything I thought I knew was wrong. I am struggling with waki...

My LO is 4 months and I’m shedding hair like a dog. I’m so worried and it’s giving me anxiety. I really wanted to get my hair done (new mum look) as the LO is always pulling at it and I have lots of whites! I just felt like going for a pamper sesh to have it dyed and styled. As I had a tough pregnancy. Any advice on...

Hi ladies, I’m 7 months postpartum and still have severe lower back pain. I had an epidural and forceps birth. Recently the back pain feels like it’s getting worse. Does anyone have any tips or advice for anything that has helped with their back pain?

My little ones only 2 and she recently started pre school. She’s got all the illnesses and a few incident reports as she’s come home with massive bruises scapes and bumps. She’s such a happy girl and always keen to go anywhere usually but she absolutely hated going to school today. She cried out and tried running aw...

Porn.. how do people feel about their partners watching porn? Obviously theres a time after the baby that you wait before having sex again, but in the mean time your other half watches porn and explores self pleasure to get through it. Frankly I do not care. I’d rather him watch two randomers than go out and fin...

Anyone on 2nd or 3rd pregnancies losing their hair not gaining. Was so excited for my thick lustrous hair this time, but it’s all just falling out. It’s like I’m postpartum already 🤣

After 14 years with half the relationship being a lie, I think it's the end of us. We are currently married (almost 3 years..). We have an 11 month old. Unfortunately we moved away from family, only 1.5 hours, but I need to quit work and take baby out of nursery. I am struggling so much and grieving the family I wan...

Today she cussed me out in front of our 2 year old. We bicker a lot due to stress but we both know not to have blow ups in front of the baby and today she did it and she hasn’t even apologized. I know it’s hard to give advice when you don’t know all the details but I just wanted to get it off my chest. This isn’t ...

5 months postpartum and everything my man does bothers me 😠

I’m a mom of a 9 month old and just found out I’m pregnant again. I didn’t enjoy most of being pregnant, had a traumatic birth experience and our baby was super colicky for the first 3 months. I just feel so overwhelmed and scared of going through it all again so soon. I have a great husband and family and know thin...

Ever since I’ve had my baby back in 22’ my mind just been so foggy, it’s so hard to even grasp everything. My attention span has definitely gotten worst and I feel so fucking stupid… any advice ?

15 months in and baby girl is starting to cry over every single little thing. Any time she wants something or doesn't get her way it's automatic tears. I dont know how we got here nor how to stop it. I redirect her but it's starting to get tiring. She drinks all her water? tears, eats all her snack? Tears. She gets ...

Has anyone ever felt like you never got out of postpartum. Is it postpartum depression or am I just overthinking it ?

Has anyone felt depressed lately? There’s been so much going on and I feel defeated. Plus, being pregnant… :/ 20 weeks tomorrow 🥺

My partner and I have a 7 week old baby, he’s not been here much since my son was born due to recently purchasing a gritting business. The money is such a help for us, but Ive felt so incredibly alone. My family aren’t really bothered and I rarely hear from anyone, I have one friend who checks in sometimes but that’...

Has anyone who’s had a csection still been getting quite intense abdominal pain 8 weeks PP?? It’s not the scar that’s hurting it’s inside my tummy usually above where my scar is? If you have, did they ever say what was wrong ?

I was best friends with someone for about 15 years. Her son was like my first baby. We were inseparable. When I got married a few years ago, she was 1 of 3 girls who I had stand up in my wedding. She really dropped the ball in a lot of different ways and just was not a friend when I needed her. We really haven’t tal...
