Postpartum Care

For background, he’s 3 months old & my fiancé and I currently live at my parents. My baby tends to fuss and cry and scream when I’m with him, and then calms down for grandma/grandpa/dad. I try everything to soothe him and all it takes is my mom picking him up for him to quiet down. It’s starting to break my heart be...

I have our 4 month old daughter 90% of the time as EBF and husband works long hours. When she’s unhappy she needs to be carried or walked around or communicated with to calm her down otherwise she gets more and more intensely unhappy and it gets very hard for to calm her down. When my husband has her he’ll just cont...

I'm 6 months post partum. Things have been really rough. My PPD has been bad and I feel like I can function for shit. I really don't want to have another baby right now and I really want to work on myself. I feel like I'm failing as a mom and partner because of my mental health issues. I've thought about getting ...

So my little girl is 2 in September and when she was first born I didn’t bond with her at all and I know that’s normal i eventually did bond with her when she was around 3 months old but every since she got her 1 year jabs she has totally changed just constantly crying and screaming and I’ve tired everything playing...

If so how do you handle it ? Need advice as I really struggle with how to react or respond. Especially when people debate and argue that they are ok and “just fussing”

I am 17 weeks pp and haven’t noticed any out of the norm hair loss. I’ve heard it gets bad after 3 months pp. Does it happen to everyone?

Or could it be postpartum hormones. Really struggling

I just found out im pregnant and im terrified of the postpartum depression I suffered from with my 2nd baby.

So my doctor prescribed me something for my depression and we are going to see if that helps. I think I know the reasons I’m depressed but there is nothing I can do about it. If anybody has any advice or ways that may also help it would be appreciated.

I’m 40 weeks now and anxious about the birth of the baby (my first), but know I’ll be ok and get through whatever happens with the support of my partner. I’ve previously been set on my mum being in the room with us when I’m in labour and delivering but the last few weeks I’ve been having second thoughts and don’t ...

Anyone else never experience guilt or anxiety? Are you confident in your decisions and choices? Never fear the unknown? Always willing to try?

Has anyone taken ciprolex/lexapro from postpartum anxiety/postpartum panic attacks? I’ve been suffering for a few months now and it is slowly getting better but I still have my bad days and night where i will have panic attacks or they will wake me up from my sleep. Has anyone had experience with this? Should I just...

My little girl is 2.5 y/o and I was diagnosed with PPD when she was 4 month old. I was on citalopram until she was 1.5 and then was taken off of it. I was doing ok for a little while but the last 6 months have been rough and I have felt lower than ever. Has anyone experienced PPD that comes back and is it even possi...

I’m so over being a single mum… honestly it’s so fucking hard having to carry the load alone.. Anxiety riddled about letting my child down. I don’t even know myself anymore. I can’t connect with people because I’m so stuck in my own head. I’m over not being able to be this confident person in front of my child. S...

Hey mamas, So this isn’t about my MIL it’s about my own mother and my “mother wound”. Posting here and anon as I really just want to hear from others, see others point of view and what not. So long story short, my own mother wasn’t the nurturing type. I don’t remember ever being close to her, in my younger years I ...
