Postpartum Care

Hoping for some advice from anybody that’s suffered with this and how you dealt with it. My anxiety in general has been quite high lately and my thoughts about illness etc spiral, mainly about my child and myself and recently my mum also. It’s torture, dreading the worst and worrying about the future. I’ve been to m...

I don’t know what to do. Please help. No meds!!! I’m 39 weeks, I’ve had my membranes swept twice. Most recently just Wednesday. I’ve been stuck at 2cm with mild contractions for a week. I’ve eaten the dates, drank the pineapple juice, did the squats, lunges, curbwalks, nipple stimulating, pumping, intercourse, baths...

I keep letting my friend down because of my baby and I feel bad. Not sure how to reassure her or make it up to her. We’ve been friends for over 15 years and I will be a bridesmaid at her wedding in 2 weeks time, the only non-family member. She doesnt have many friends, maybe 2 or 3 and I am her best friend. But she...

Today, I'm 6 weeks postpartum. I had my doctor's appointment, she cleared me to have sex but I still can't help but be nervous, but Im also so ready to be intimate with my fiance again. How was your first time? How many weeks postpartum were you? Advice on best position that worked for you?

Has anyone gone through a mental divorce in the sense where they are not actually divorcing their husband legally but have mentally? I feel this is me right now… he brings absolutely nothing to the table apart from money and I am a sahm with a 1yr old and feel that’s the only reason to stay as I am financially depen...

Hi, I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant - I just wondered.. is anybody else unnecessarily annoyed at everything, snapping more and just finding reasons to be annoyed/overthinking into a mood? I feel like I’ve lost all patience and I’m just a misery to be around. I’m usually so laid back and I am well known for being suc...

How you y’all feel about circumcision ?

Wtf am I supposed to do with this?? I doubt my fcking 3 yr old is manipulating me?? Like is this some sort of Canadian thing that I’m too Slavic to understand??? Help? Where do I go from here? My MIL thinks my girl is manipulating me cuz I help her when she cries etc. like sorry I love her and can’t stand her crying...

My anxiety has been at its highest it’s ever been. I am currently going thru issues w my husband. To sum it up it is my fault. I contacted an ex early on in our marriage (we’ve been married almost 4 years in July). I truly love my husband w everything I have. He is an AMAZING step dad to my daughter & they are super...

Been with my partner 7 years this June. I have expressed my dislike with him watching porn for many years and he refuses to stop or change this. Am j seeing this as a bigger issue than it should be ?

For those of you who are pregnant whilst also having a toddler - how are you coping? 😂 I’m about 8 weeks pregnant and have been feeling nauseous and just KNACKERED for about 2 weeks now. Doesn’t help that I’ve had an awful cold this week. I also have a daughter who has just turned 2 and I am feeling really guilty…

Anyone tried doing this?😂 we’ve not had sex in about 2+ months so I’m quite scared if I’m honest. Does it feel uncomfortable or painful?? I’m 38+4 and trying to do everything I can to get baby out!!😂

Just curious how others are healing vaginally postpartum? I’m 10 weeks pp with my first baby and although my memory of what it looked like before pregnancy is a little foggy I KNOW it didn’t look like what it does now…which is to be expected, I’m sure, pushing a 9lb baby out of there. I notice a bulge inside the ope...

How long does this last? Is it something that lasts a few months or as soon as your baby comes your hair just sheds for a few weeks?

Anyone else sometimes get really stressed or overwhelmed when little one is screaming and then once they’ve calmed down just cry because you feel so bad about getting stressed or overwhelmed?😂

We are on the second 1 hour induction of nursery for my 13 month old. I feel SO full of guilt and I can’t stop crying. She is meant to be starting Monday, jumping straight in to a full day (I’ll be dropping her off later and picking her up early, full day straight away is too much IMO). I work shifts which means she...
