Did anyone else get the placenta injection in their arm to help them deliver it? I had 2 injections in my arm to aid with this and was also given liquid morphine after giving birth. Both of these things didn’t happen in my previous birth so I’m just curious why. Obviously, I was totally out of it so had no idea what...

Everyone said it would get easier, 16 weeks later and I'm still dealing with that same shit. I'm sick of my baby crying tbh. Idk how to cope anymore.

As I’m getting older I’m realising that I don’t like my family ie mum, dad, stepdad and siblings.

I’m trying to figure out how much breastmilk I should pump beforehand just in case the pain is horrendous and I need to take the pain killers.

I am so exhausted and upset right now. All I seem to hear from my little one these days is whinging, screaming and sobbing. Probably up 4/5 times a night when before it was just two. I've even found myself asking myself if I regret having him this month 😭 which just made me cry harder because I love him so much. I…

Has anyone had 2nd degree tears and can tell me how long the pain lasted for you? I had an episiotomy but also really bad tearing and they used a lot of stitches.
