Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

I’m severely depressed. No point in going back to the dr’s because it doesn’t help. I won’t take medication and I hate talking to people. Don’t really know why I’m posting here for answers, but as I said I don’t like talking and even if I did, I don’t have anyone to talk to. I guess I just want to know if there’s an...

Is anyone else suffering from PP Rage? I find myself getting so angry and frustrated so quickly at the smallest thing. It could be my baby crying or simply knocking something over and I want to smash my head off the wall or shout 😭 I’m usually so calm and patient I hate myself for how reactive ive become, I hate it…

I feel absolutely horrible I looked away for one second and my 9.5m old fell off the bed head first. I took her to the doctor and she’s fine, but I feel HORRENDOUS. I feel like such a bad mom. Someone tell me it’s gonna be ok 😭 I knew better. She just started crawling and either way has been rolling for months. I…

My MIL says I’m spoiling my newborn baby!! How do I tell her that it’s impossible to spoil a baby without loosing my temper Midwife has told her and so has health visitor!

I’m only 8 days postpartum and I’ve had 2nd degree tear and dissolvable stitches. I’m just wondering when can I actually take a long clean bath? Or how long they take it heal. I’ve had showers but I’m finding it difficult to stand there without going dizzy as i lost so much blood in birth and still having big clots...

Hi everyone. First time mom here to a 5 month old baby. This is my first time reaching out and talking about this. But I think I have really bad post partum anxiety. I think about the worst case scenario happening to my baby. When I’m not with my baby, I think about the worst thing that could be happening to her and...

Anyone else got an achey back? 30+4 weeks. Any tips?

My heart is feeling so low and depressed as I can see many June babies already standing, crawling, sitting unassisted and playing. My baby still doesn’t do anything except rolling 😭 Please tell me how are your’ll getting this done, first time mum with no family support. Nobody to teach me anything. Atleast if she…

Bm tried to take her own life about two years ago . She’s very entitled and the moment she doesn’t get her way about anything she is suddenly depressed or is victim to everything . I do think mental illness is a real thing so I don’t want to downplay that but if that’s the case then why does she still have custody o...

Anyone else built the confidence to finally look down below after having stitches? Nearly 4 weeks pp and my partner said it looks more open?? I can’t see the stitches anymore but my goodness is it itchy 😳

I'm not sure if I need to vent or if I need perspective on if I am tripping or other women can relate. My husband and I have been together for 2 and 1/2 years and married for one year. Things moved pretty quickly and I can see how some of these qualities that I'm seeing now probably would have stopped me from movi...

Is yours growing back grey and these are new hairs or am I just going grey?! So confused but I have a lot of short grey hairs

I miss my daughter as I used to recognize her, she is such hard work. Had the worse meltdown this morning, more than an hour and a half of screaming crying etc. Started with one thing ( wanting to get craft bits out, I said after we got dressed) to something else.( Not being able to eat two pieces of fruit at a time...

As a first time mom my anxiety has gone through the roof, i always have the fear of something happening to my child. It’s driving me insane!! Is this PPD?

My mil is forever saying that I'm stopping her from having a relationship with her granddaughter just because I won't allow her to be alone with her ( for which I have my reasons) but no one has had my baby alone either and it doesn't seem to bother anyone else other than her. Anyone else had this problem before .

I had a really traumatic birth and had 5 months of ptsd, anxiety, depression and just a rough time! I'm starting to feel a little bit better 💜 But when I see people (friends or famous people) having a beautiful birth experience and being well post partum i feel like that's the experience I missed out on 🥺 i feel…

15 month old has started crying her eyes out when she is dropped at nursery. She never did this before but has began getting super upset at drop off. Help super guilty mum here.

Hi mommas, I’m currently almost a month post-partum and my partner is already complaining that I I’m ignoring him in the bedroom(intimacy) and focusing on the baby more. I really am not trying to ignore him. I’m a first time mum, a mum to rainbow baby, i am still trying to figure out the ropes. My question is how lo...

Like the title says, I went from having friends for the first time ever in my adult life who invited me out to do stuff and even had someone I considered a best friend who called me her sister but then in June when I went on maternity leave and came back in September everything changed. My friends stopped reaching o...

Mommies… How was the first time post partum having intercourse? Did you wait after 6 weeks or longer? Did your body properly heal before you desired to have intercourse again? When did your low labido begin to change? Did your menstrual cycle increase hormone levels to make you feel more hornier or less inclined? D...
