Postpartum Care

I had an emergency c-section in December and I'm trying so hard to be positive but I hate my section self. I think it looks horrific on me. It's not my body and I find it really repulsive. I was a size 18 before pregnancy but I've lost all the weight I gained in pregnancy plus more and it just keeps looking worse an...

I want to be done with how I'm feeling, drained, stressed, frustrated, sick, in pain, emotions everywhere, holding everything in, having no outlet in am so overwhelmed and drowning I don't even know what to do. I love my children i would die for my children but the lack of support I've had from family is unbelievabl...

Hi Ladies, Does anyone else feel really sad when they BF or pump? It’s like a feeling of doom and occasional cramps. I’m already 7 weeks pp and it’s not going away. It’s not to the point of depression but every let down I feel just weird. It makes me not like BF

So what do you parents do when your child simply just refuses to listen to ANYTHING . My daughter is 10 and I was window shopping going to buy her a smart watch . I asked my daughter if she liked it and wanted one and if she’d keep it on and not take it off . Then she asks if she can play the games on it during rece...

Has anyone experienced a crazy breakout after having baby. I want to say it’s due to hormones but I’m not sure it was 100% from that. All the medication I was taking for my emergency C section the iron pills the bloating pills. The shot in my arm I got to stop contractions I feel like it was so much in my body plus ...

Please tell me it’s for the better with a sibling. I feel like I got pregnant more for my husbands sake. I had extreme PPD and still feel like the world of caving in with an almost 2 year old. I will be giving birth when she is 2.5 and on top of PPD it will be the beginning of the long cold winter months and start o...

Anyone loose hair after a pregnancy? I heard about it but I didn’t actually think it’d happen.What did you do?Are there any remedies to have it grow it back? I’m getting a haircut today and I’m a little embarrassed,even though it’s semi-natural.

That there are countries all over the world where parents give their kids water from the day they are born. There are countries all over the world where car seats are not the norm, let alone rear facing them for years. There are countries where cosleeping is what just about every family does. Is it true that a child...

So stressed - I have a baby on the way - I’m in debt , council tax being pricks, I’m exhausted, mental health is getting worse, don’t know what to do anymore as I have no help. No food, can’t travel to foodbank bc of my back and anxiety. Yh is is all making me so depressed. Can’t even afford lunches to take to my ag...

FTM so apologies for the stupid question… When she was born she came out with a fair bit of hair and now she’s barely got any at all. Everyone also keeps thinking she’s a boy and I’m not sure if that’s because of the no hair or she just has her fathers features 😅 Pic of Ava-Mae below 🥰

For those of you who are not FTMs, people have said to me since newborn stage, that it never gets easier. Surely that’s not the case? It just makes you feel when you’re struggling that it’ll never end and that’s not good on my mental health so was wondering what your take on things is?

My little one is 6months and has just started crying to be held by me all the time. She won't go down for more than a minute or two and if anyone else holds her even her dad she will cry until I take her then stop. Even if I'm in the same room and she sees me she cries until I take her. I've had her in the sling but...

Does anyone else feel or is anxious to do anything on their own with baby? How did you overcome this?

Following the recent tragic news in the UK of a pregnant woman committing suicide due to suffering from HG I am curious how common these feelings are? Absolutely awful 😢 my heart goes out to all women who have had HG ❤️

After giving birth I was bleeding for a long period of time, how long till my periods are back ?

The past couple of days I’ve just been feeling really emotional, I’m 32 weeks and I don’t know if anyone else has been feeling like this now they’re further along? Just keep thinking ‘oh my god what if I’m not good enough’ or ‘ what am I actually doing’ ‘will I be enough just me doing it all on my own’ All I’ve ev...
