Postpartum Care

My baby girl is two weeks old is it too early to slightly wash her hair?

How do you deal with mom guilt? It’s my first baby and she’s almost one week old, her umbilical cord fell off but I didn’t notice until few hours later meanwhile I was trying to make her sleep and couldn’t understand why she was waking up (she usually sleeps well) turns out the clamp was on her back so it must’ve be...

Almost 38 weeks with baby number 2, and I feel like I'm in denial that I'm about to have a baby again? My husband has thrown some bits in a bag from my hospital bag list I had for baby number 1 (its very sweet he kept it!) But I don't know what outfits, Toiletries etc he's packed haha. I just feel like I have so muc...

Hey guys, I’m one week post partum. I was wondering how everyone else is dealing with the baby blues? Thinking about the birth, looking at my baby, thinking about my horrible living situation….everything is causing me to burst into tears. How is everyone else dealing with it?

I mean I know it’s two different things but the feeling of the urge and pushing on your own is that the same when in labor?

So ever since my MIL found out I was pregnant she begin being overly obsessive about everything. I let her decorate the nursery even when I wanted to. I let her walk all over me since this was her first grand baby that lives in the same state as her. But ever since I went to the hospital and came home with my baby s...

I don’t know if I should circumsise my son or not when born ! What’s the difference ? What did y’all do?

Hey ladies. I had my baby 6 days ago. I had quite a traumatic birth it ended up with being cut twice and having forceps aswell. I know it’s only day 6 but can anyone give me some advice how to heal down their? I’m in Agony. I am already on Morphine and painkillers. Any simple tips would be appreciated? Thank you

So this week I found out that I’m gonna need surgery on my broken ankle which will leave me in a cast for the next 3-5 months, I have a 3 month old baby, a bf who works full time and not many friends or family nearby to help, if anyone has any advice or can help please let me know, I’ve been crying a lot over the la...

Is it true that once you have your baby, there is a sudden feeling of relief? Does the pain keep going? If vaginal, Did you feel the placenta being pushed out? I am planning to get an epidural. I’m just so nervous! Due date is May 28th but may sooner.

I’m 37 + weeks and we pretty much have childcare figured out do when I’m done maternity leave. The plan has been to have my mom watch the baby half of the week and then my MIL. We are willing to pay them to come to our house and watch the baby. My mom lives approximately 25-30 mins and my MIL about 45mins. My MIL ...

I’ve been vomitting for the last 4 days and fainted twice so I had a feeling my first period was coming, I’ve finally woken up this morning bleeding like crazy and barely able to walk with an 11 week old baby to take care of. I know there’s no point in seeing a doctor or anyone as this is a very normal period for m...

Is anyone else's baby losing their hair? Apparently, it's normal, but my mum said it never happened with us .

Has anyone taken Zoloft during their pregnancy, or any other antidepressants? My husband is upset I asked for a referral for a psychiatrist, but I just don’t see how I can go on like this. He thinks it will hurt the baby.

I love my daughter let me start by saying that. In all honesty though she isn't supposed to be here my ex is an idiot. Lately I've been feeling like I'm stuck on autopilot. My mom keeps telling me I don't have post partum depression but I think otherwise. But according to her everything I do is wrong or not right or...

I really need someone to talk to and I'm 9weeks pregnant
