Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Hey mamas I’m two days post labor and my little man is finally here. I’m asking for any advice you can give as I’m a first time mom. I’d love to learn little tips and tricks that people actually use (those baby books don’t really help) he did have a surgical circumcision if anyone knows anything about those too!!! T...

My bf called me a stupid B this morning because the baby was crying uncontrollably. She’s a month old. She seemed like she was uncomfortable (with gas) and I was trying to help her move it with leg stretches and other techniques. I’m a third time mom. This is his first child. He heard her crying when he came out of ...

I forgot how painful these poops are in the first week. Not down there but more specifically cramping while trying to poop. Basically more contractions 🙄

Anyone just look at their newborn and just wish they could freeze time. My sweet baby is going on 3 weeks and as much as I was annoyed with the lack of sleep and my journey with breastfeeding I don’t want her to keep getting older. Like slow down the days 😭. I haven’t been sad in a few days and now my anxiety is…

Is there anyone who has had a negative experience with ingesting their placenta, there is just so little research for either side so just trying to get an idea of pros and cons if anyone has anything to share I would greatly appreciate the info, thanks so much! 😊

My sister and I live together just for a few months. I’ll be moving soon but I’m left with damage.. when I first moved my baby was 11months , my niece just turned 2. My niece is a child from hell . I’m not even over exaggerating. She throws EXTREME body tantrums. She’s mean to my daughter hits her constantly, cusses...

Since I gave birth, husband has changed a lot. I almost feel like he's not happy. My baby is 2 months today and we ain't spoken for 5 weeks . Am being stubborn because he wronged me and he does not want to apologise . Its sad and I am fed up. There's no speaking to him. Plus he wants that when I shouldn't have to s...

Anyone else experiencing postpartum irritability/anger? I know there’s such a thing as postpartum rage but I don’t think it’s to that level and it’s not towards my baby, it’s more just like a constant irritability most likely stemming from lack of sleep and lack of control. And then I do feel guilty/shame for being ...

Kind of a venting session but also looking for some advice .. so my child’s father and I have been separated and trying to coparent since my son was 2 months old and he’s now 4.5. It hasn’t been an easy road by far but I used to think it was worth it, because my son had a father in his life. My child’s father ha...

Hi ladies!! Does anyone have any tips on how to manage postpartum hair loss. My hair is currently coming out in chunks 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have on and off alopecia anyway prior to pregnancy so that doesn't help, but this hair loss is all around the front of my hair line which is new for me. Thank you in advance for any help ❤️

When did PP hair loss stop for y’all? May be bald here soon 🤣

I’m feeling a lot of mum guilty at the moment. My little one has been really fussy recently, and I’m trying all things I can think of to keep her happy. I play with her, I feed her when she is hungry, I put her to sleep when she’s tired, take her on walks, I even try a bit of dancing fruits. But nothing seems to k...

I feel awful. Last night, as usual, I picked up my daughter to feed her, and I missed the back of the bed while sitting down. We fell and we both hit something—I bumped my head on the nightstand, and my daughter hit her crib. I ended up with a head bruise, and my daughter has red marks and a bump. I still can’t get ...

Since baby arrived my husband has been very low mood. Struggling to motivate himself to get washed and dressed. Rarely interacts with baby and opts to dothe practical things like make bottles, housework etc rather than baby related things. Always on his phone , even when holding baby, absolutely no interest in mys...

I just turned 35 weeks today I'm having constant pain uncontrollably pain won't go away at all n having contractions

I'm having a really hard time at the moment with my emotions and it makes it worse that my husband is pushing me over the edge. His older daughter hates me and so does his mum, so he takes their side for everything and it all seems to be my fault in the end. I've got a 7 weeks old baby and I love him to bits but a f...

I’ve been a sahm with her since she’s been born but now that we soon can use the free hours funding she will be going to nursery in the new year and I’ll be working part time. I just can’t stop feeling sad and anxious about it! Any tips on how to embrace this change and not feel so upset about it?😭 I know I’m going…

How long does it usually hurt with pooping after labor.. I’m almost 2 weeks postpartum and it still hurts to poop so bad and I start having cramps and bleeding rly bad afterwards.

Is anyone else’s relationship with their partner struggling since having babies .. or has anyone separated ? I’m struggling a lot at the moment with my partner and don’t know what to do

My little girl is 18 months old, newborn and infant was a breeze but I’m struggling with this toddler phase😔 Feel like such a bad mum that I’m really struggling with her, she hits, she throws things, started now with tantrums, becomes really naughty when she’s tired, I feel like I’m just failing at being a parent…
