Anyone else was super close with their husband, you were each other’s everything and after a baby all that is ruined? I am in indescribable misery and emotional pain simply because i feel like i have lost my husband. He’s all I have in this entire world and he’s my only source of strength. But things have complete...

I had a first degree tear upwards (to my clit) with my 1st but didn’t need stitches. I’m terrified of tearing with baby #2 on the way because the pain is truly horrific.

Alright. It’s been 6 months now . I’ve waited it out like everyone said to but I still feel bald headed. Does the hair loss ever stop? Omg I’m ready to shave all of it off

Hi all , has anyone experienced problems with their back after your child is so many weeks old. I had a section 6 weeks ago and I am taking pain killers for my back and not my section. Is this because my core is shot to pieces ? Thanks

I have them regularly, they don’t effect me that much, they just let me be more focused and alert 🚨😂 Example: I leave my baby in the safe playpen, so I can do something around the house, then this intrusive thought come in and I’m scare she will chock on something inside ( even if there is nothing to be choked…

Is anyone else's hair still falling out at 6 months pp? Any idea what I can do to help? When is it likely to stop? I know it's hormonal. I have really fine hair and losing it in clumps is making me upset.

Hi Ladies, I hope all of you are doing well. I am 12 weeks pp and I can see that my hair begins to shed. I used to bleach my hair so my ends are quite dry. How did you deal with the pp hair loss, what shampoo/conditioner would you recommend for this type of hair?

My husband mentioned my postpartum depression to a woman and she said that postpartum depression doesn't last that long it only lasts a few weeks. He told her that it could last years and she said no it doesn't.

Does breastfeeding make it worse because it's not even growing back yet

I live with my husband, my mother in law and step father in law… Currently 33 weeks pregnant and the hormones are strong. Please can some advise how you deal with MIL rubbing/touching bump all the time and just questioning how you are every 20 minutes. I understand she’s excited as her first grandchild but I actua...

So my little girl is 2 in September and when she was first born I didn’t bond with her at all and I know that’s normal i eventually did bond with her when she was around 3 months old but every since she got her 1 year jabs she has totally changed just constantly crying and screaming and I’ve tired everything playing...

I am 17 weeks pp and haven’t noticed any out of the norm hair loss. I’ve heard it gets bad after 3 months pp. Does it happen to everyone?

Welp- I broke my ankle at 36 weeks with an induction planned for 37 weeks. Baby girl is doing great/no impact from the accident, but has anyone else dealt with labor and delivery with an injury? My OB team feels confident going forward with delivery. was already geared up for/worried about postpartum recovery, and t...

I'm having baby fever sooo bad even worse, since we have been talking about trying again. We are trying to settle in our new house first but I want another baby now! I see all these babies and making it so much worst. I'm lucky I my daughter she makes it better but I want to bring a sibling for her to play with. I k...

I know people say this a lot but I really think there’s something wrong with me, or I’m really not getting this motherhood thing right. I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old and I would say 5/7 days a week I feel stressed, not all day but most of the day I feel rushed to get somewhere, Im snappy, the tiniest thing t...

If so how do you handle it ? Need advice as I really struggle with how to react or respond. Especially when people debate and argue that they are ok and “just fussing”

For background, he’s 3 months old & my fiancé and I currently live at my parents. My baby tends to fuss and cry and scream when I’m with him, and then calms down for grandma/grandpa/dad. I try everything to soothe him and all it takes is my mom picking him up for him to quiet down. It’s starting to break my heart be...

I just found out im pregnant and im terrified of the postpartum depression I suffered from with my 2nd baby.

I have our 4 month old daughter 90% of the time as EBF and husband works long hours. When she’s unhappy she needs to be carried or walked around or communicated with to calm her down otherwise she gets more and more intensely unhappy and it gets very hard for to calm her down. When my husband has her he’ll just cont...
