Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

I spent my entire life wanting to be a good mom. I researched and practiced, even built my entire career as a nanny around how to be a good mom. Now my first ever mothers day is cancled while i cater to the grandmothers and my husband is grumpy because he has to work saturday and sunday since he has a concert to g...

My daughter is starting to cry/fake cry when we take certain things away from her or tell her no. I’m starting to see a little pattern to get what she wants. I tell her no and just because we cry doesn’t mean we get our way. But I don’t want her to continue this behavior. Idk what to do and don’t know if I’m doing t...

So, I have a very active baby. Kicking all the time but it’s actually painful because I have an umbilical hernia. I’m scared once he gets bigger, the pain will only increase. Anyone else suffering from hernia pain and baby movements making it worse?

I had an emergency c section and it was a quite traumatic labour leading up to it. I know 4 women around me who’ve had quick and easy natural births, one pushed her baby out in 5 minutes. It’s been 6 months since my c section and all of the births I’m hearing about have happened recently, I can’t help but feel super...

I really try and be calm and collected but sometimes I snap. The anger I felt tonight was so intense. I have never and would never hurt my baby but sometimes I get so overstimulated by everything going on. I just don’t think I can be a good mum. Does anyone have any grounding tips?

So my mom originally planned to stay a month to help me with the baby. But now my sister decided to stay in town during this month… my mom told me she wants to visit her other grandkids as well during this month but it made me pretty uncomfortable with her coming back and forth. So I told her to not come back if any...

I don’t like being separated from my 6 month old baby. What age was the first you left baby for a few hours? Not sure it’s unhealthy or not. I just won’t enjoy myself at all and I love being with him.

My daughter is 2 and I a SAHM. I am just feeling like I am in a rut and I wonder how to get out of it. I am going to therapy once every two weeks and I am on depression medication. I know I could be more physically active but to be honest I am just so exhausted. How do you find or make time for yourself? To do the t...

Hey ladies so might be a bit TMI but just thought I see if anyone else is currently going through the same thing, I’m 7 weeks postpartum today and have been struggling with constipation since the birth also had an episiotomy so it’s been quite painful which I’m not sure is normal, midwife’s said I was healing okay j...

I am actively miscarrying my second pregnancy. It began last night. I heard it takes 1-2 weeks to fully finish. Please tell me how to get through this. I’m begging you.

If someone is having a problem with their husband, don’t respond about how great yours is. If someone’s baby isn’t sleeping through the night, don’t respond and talk about how yours does unless it’s a suggestion on how to fix it. It’s mean! Glad your baby sleeps and your husband is nice to you, but the girls posti...

Hello! It seems the title covers everything. I have a 3-month-old daughter, and so far, the only places we've gone are to her grandparents' and other relatives' homes. I haven't taken her in the car for grocery shopping or errands yet, and my partner has always been with me during our outings. I waited until she was...

I thought I skipped the post partum hair loss tragedy as my hair actually got sooo much thicker after birth! But in the last few weeks it’s hit me like a dump truck and I’m finding the areas around my temples are literally balding and I can’t tie my hair back without scalp showing. Any tips on how to deal with this?...

Hey ladies… so I’m 4 months post partum and honestly my moods are just getting worse and worse 😔 I feel like I’m constantly snapping at my partner, wake up everyday in a foul mood, keep crying, feeling overwhelmed and just feel like my mind is going 1000000mph constantly! I suffered with my mental health…

I currently just started my journey on “Zoloft” I was admitted into the mental Institute due to self harming and other things I believe I was having a manic episode. I have trauma from my childhood. And PTSD from my first abusive bd……. And my baby is 9 months so it can be a lot and I’m a mom of 3 at the age 24 I us...

My LO is 5 weeks old and she just seems so unhappy. I see babies who are 5 weeks old that just seem happy and are already smiling etc. mine is constantly crying, she won’t sleep for more than 30 minutes. I’m starting to feel like I’m doing something wrong

hello! i’ve very recently gotten back into workout out post having a baby. i had a c section and when i do any type of ab workout, it feels like my scars inside are literally pulling apart and when i’m finished it burns. i’m not able to do a move for more than a few seconds without it becoming too painful. I’m wonde...

Sad break up, no one cheated, we don’t hate the guy. A bit lost for words. She’s knows I’m there for her. Anything anyone did or said that really helped you through? 😢 just want to support her.

My baby was early born late October. The thought of having sex scares me and I haven’t explored it in any way I had an episiotomy and a tear! Just interested to know how many others are in the same situation x
