Is this normal ?

I get so much anxiety when my partner and I go to family events with my MIL because it seems as if everytime I’m holding my baby if I’m not feeding she will come and take baby from me and give to someone or keep to herself. I’ve noticed it just me because baby can be with anyone else and she won’t take them (my part...

Postpartum headaches

I’m 1 month postpartum, I’ve been experiencing headaches the last week or two, every single day. They are kind of mild. Not too bad. The light definitely makes it worse. I rarely used to experience headaches before giving birth and even during pregnancy. But 2 weeks after giving birth and now I’m constantly getting ...

PPA and PPD

I am nearly 2 years, yes…nearly 2 years postpartum, and I believe I still have some severely unchecked PPA and PPD. I never saw a doctor for it, and I fear it’s too late. Like my body chemistry is too far gone. Truthfully, I didn’t even realize that’s what I was going through, but it feels clear to me now. I broke o...

Is anyone else just terrified

I find social media just terrifying these days with all the scary stuff you see about foods and just everything! I feel absolutely terrified by it. Foods are killing us. Our environment is killing us. We shouldn’t vaccinate babies. Everyone is adhd/autistic because of the foods or vaccines. I can’t afford to eat or...

Separation anxiety??

My little one is usually the most content little girl, she rarely cries and had no issues being held by anyone else. The past week she now gets inconsolable if somebody else but me holds her for more than 5 minutes, or if I pop out. Is anybody else experiencing this at all? 😫

So I am almost 6 months postpartum and have yet to have sex with my husband yet. I have been wanting to for a few months now but whenever we get to it, it’s painful.
