Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Hey mamas I want it to know if I’m alone in this….is it normal to out of no where think about who’s the most equipped person to raise your kids in the event that something happened to you???? The world is wicked and a lot of bad things are happening to innocent people and it has my mind running lately…I talked about...

I had a mental breakdown today. My partner has been working and I have been with the kids by my self. I suffer with depression. This morning I thought my feelings were going to control me as I had the urge to run into a running car and just die. I started scratching my ear so bad and crying that he noticed. Took the...

For my first, I made the mistake of not really thinking about myself post partum. Had everything for baby etc but really struggled postnatally. Looking for ideas on how to feel a bit more prepared this time round with practical things but also just self care. Anyone got anything they're thinking of getting or doing...

Hi mothers I deliver my baby natural birth before one month, but I still have pain on my vagina. Regularly I washed water with salt and I put some painkiller cream How long it takes to recover the wound?

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 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

I am 16 weeks postpartum. In the last couple of week I have been feeling very emotional. I have been crying daily and feel really down. My partner and I have been arguing everyday. He is not always the most understanding but I think he is starting to see how much I am struggling. I am considering talking to my Gp ...

So I’m currently living at my mom’s house until we find a place, right. Since our lease ended and it was just one bedroom and 1 bathroom, we did not renew. I do not know how to stop this. My mom just yells “GRANDMA’S BABY” in Spanish and scared the heck out of my baby girl. My baby either jumps or cries or both. I t...

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 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

Anyone else noticed an increase in crying at 9 months?? My LO just never seems happy anymore. Suddenly hates the bath/car when used to love them! Any tips or advice, or just solidarity!!😩😩

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...
