Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Most women don’t like it when someone calls her baby “my baby” I just like a lot of other women really can’t stand that but recently I have come to really dislike when my boyfriends mom refers to my child as her sweet pea (as in I’ll post a picture or send her a picture and she says oh my sweet pea I love her so muc...

I’ve just had my second baby and my husband is such a horrible person. Whilst i was in hospital (was there for over a week) he was so loving and caring, saying he missed me and all that bs. Now that im home, in the space of 2 days he’s made me cry my eyes out, argued with me, and constant blaming me for everything e...

My partner is booked in for a vasectomy on Sunday, we only have the one child and the amount of grief we are getting from people is craaaazy, like 90% of people thinks it's a mistake. We're happy with one, financially and mentally. Has anyone else a vasectomy after one? How did people seem to react?

My lg is 3 months and the hair loss is ridiculous, it's not coming out at the front but in clumps at the back and its all over the house I can only wear it in a bun as even a pony tail doesn't stop it shedding. I have waist length hair and thick and like my hair, but do we think I should cut it if its all falling o...

Anyone else Have a FT after a loss and just feel a bit emotional and possibly at time negative or pessimistic about it . I want to be positive but i haven’t really been the luckiest in this process and I keep thinking I don’t think it worked .. it’s day 2 🤦🏼‍♀️. People keep saying be positive and you have to have a…

My baby is about to turn 1 and I have baby fever so bad I want another baby already but my husband thinks we should wait another year, I get where he is coming from. But I’ve been seeing so many things on 2 under 2 and it just makes me want another one so bad. And my husband doesn’t help the situation especially whe...

Not sure how to word it…but this is a thing and it’s really bothering me right now in my marriage and I don’t think it’s unique to my husband! Have had a partner who you’ve grown very comfortable with, been together for years, been through all the life things and they get to a point sometimes where the typical soc...

Hello mamas! So im a FTM to a 5 week old and my fiance is currently on paternity leave, he has about 6 weeks left and im gonna be a SAHM. However the closer the days get the more anxious I get im currently going thru PPD and PPA and im on meds for it so the constant thoughts cause me to overthink a lot and panic at ...

I have a 9mo and I am really struggling with anxiety about her getting ill. I’ve done cbt and nothing is helping. We’ve done nothing on maternity leave because i’m too scared to take her anywhere! I am desperate to live a normal life but everytime i try anything, i feel like i’m putting her at risk. I honestly don’t...

I was planning on leaving him and moving out April 1st. We’ve been coparent it’s just been toxic emotional abuse and just losing myself. I was just waiting for the perfect time to let him know. Before I could tell him he got in a car accident due to being under the influence and is now injured and it will be 6 month...

I have a history of anxiety and depression so I’m more than aware of what to look out for but PP depression feels different to how I’ve felt with my regular depression. Not sure whether to wait it out or go to the doctors.. I have medication at the ready if I feel I need to go back to anti depressants but I would re...

I’m just so lost mentally. I don’t even know how to help myself anymore. The hole just seems way too deep…

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.
