Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

I don’t know if it’s just pregnancy hormones or if It’s okay to actually be annoyed but I’m 17 weeks and my MIL and SIL have never asked how I am in this pregnancy and have never asked me… instead constantly ask how baby is but always ask my partner when they fully have my social media and number… I’m already being ...

So I am almost 6 months postpartum and have yet to have sex with my husband yet. I have been wanting to for a few months now but whenever we get to it, it’s painful.

A cry for help 😂 My hair is halfway gone 😂 please has anyone gone through hair shedding and what was the treatment used please help with tips on how to regrow it again.

Every time my daughter cries, and two minutes have passed, my mother-in-law wants to take her from me and carry her away. I appreciate the help, but honestly, I don’t want her to be taken from me. I’m a first-time mom; I want to learn and experience my motherhood. Maybe if she has been crying for a long time, I’d be...

I know this has been a hot topic conversation so just prefacing that I’m just looking for insight and advice. My husband and I are expecting baby #2 and we recently found out that he’s a boy!

I feel like I need to scare my daughter somehow into not wanting to die or joke about dying or talking about dying. It's became a serious obsession with her that started a few years ago.

While I was 9 months pregnant she demanded I take her to her physical therapist and I was contracting a lot so I was slow to get to her and she thought she was going to be late and she cussed me out saying I was a selfish daughter that can’t do anything right or care about anything Like I know she’s getting old bu...

Does anybody still not like there baby being away from them? I still have the feeling as though she is a tiny baby and I don’t like her staying out or going out if I am able to look after her myself. Sometimes my MIL thinks ‘I’m being funny’ but unless I am working or there is a need for her to be away from me I jus...

Today is the first day in 3 months me and my husband are leaving our baby with my parents. We’re off out tonight to something we’ve had booked since before I found out I was pregnant and I’m so anxious about leaving my baby.

Girls! What are we saying braxton hicks feels like, is it all over your stomach or just areas, does it hurt?

I’m finding it really heartbreaking recently.. my little girl is all of a sudden just wanting me. She won’t cuddle her Dad and wants to only play with me. It’s making my husband really sad and I keep seeing the hurt in his eyes when she doesn’t want to cuddle him or play with him. Has anyone else been through this? ...

I’m getting induced soon but started perineal massage with my partner and honestly the uncomfortableness and pain was not ok, because it’s been out of action I feel like it’s become even tighter 😂 (great if I didn’t have to push a 98th percentile baby out) now I’m so scared to get a tear, how long did everyone…

My husband just told me during an argument that people (aka his friends & our employees) might like me more if I was "nicer". Aparently his mates said I'm "nice enough" but I'm "very assertive" and they feel like I'm "staring into their soul" when I'm speaking with them? Wtf does that mean? I said your mate is passi...
