This may be quite niche, but for the last 9 months I've had my hair in a ponytail or bun almost every day bc I have a baby who loves to pull my hair & I like it out the way, but the hair on my hairline has started snapping off & I have a bald spot forming š does anyone else have this??
Can anyone else relate to this. I am grateful for what I have but I find myself daily moaning, being grumpy, short tempered with the kids and my other half. We have 3 kids with the youngest age 1. I've recently returned to full time work. But this has been me for a few years now. I don't get down so I don't think ...
Iām so tired of my unsupportive family. Idk how many times Iāve cried and stressed during this pregnancy but Iām just sick and tired of being sick and tired. If not the thought of my distant brother, thereās my unsupportive sister & mother and now father . From the beginning of this pregnancy Iāve felt alone and had...
Laid her in the middle, literally turned my back 1 second to get a body suit and she slid back and fell back and hit her back of head on the floor She cried for 20/3o seconds and is completely normal now Thereās a tiny bump on the back But Iām not overall concerned as sheās completely normal now I just feel extrem...

I woke up this morning so angry - partner having a 15 minute long shower. I barely get 5 mins shower (if I can shower.) I havenāt felt this angry before in my postpartum.. I couldnāt even smile back to my beautiful baby girl. Now I know what the postpartum rage feels like but itās scary that it also affects my feeli...
My husband and I had our first child in June and since Aug/Sept we have been getting into fights, it's continuing to get worse. I was dealing with pp rage and pp anxiety in Aug/Sept,which both are now 90% better. Prior to having baby we were extremely independent, I'd said we definitely did not act like a unit. We m...

Seeing all the craziness thatās going on in the US at the hand of trump I find it hard to sympathize with his voters who are or will be getting burned by his own hand. I have one close friend who is a trumper and has her daughter on Medicaid. I donāt think Iāll be able to sympathize if her daughter loses her insu...
how late can ppd technically start? during the newborn trenches i definitely struggled with postpartum rage but never really felt depressed, the last about month or so though ive felt more depression. im setting up therapy and everything but to me it seems odd that it hit when my baby was 6 months old. i have diagno...
What do you do when you've been friends with someone for 15 years. You have a child, and that person is always asking you to adjust you and your babies schedule to fit theirs. She was never there for me post partum. She's supposed to be my "best friend". Do I just cut a loss and move on? It seems hard with so much h...
Sooo how do yāall go about our LO meeting a toxic MIL? My MIL is very manipulative and toxic but my husband wants her to meet her grandchild. My son just turned 6 months and sheās just now doing the 2 hour flight to see him. I canāt stand her and hate being in the same room as her as all she does it belittle everyon...
Lately I have been feeling really scared and a feeling of almost like Iām not ready but know I have no choice, and the fact my life is going to never be the same again after my baby girl is here. This is leading to me feeling depressed when I think like this, unable to sleep sometimes and just overall down⦠any advi...
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if itās normal⦠3 days post section I feel great in daytime feel like movement feels relatively smooth and I wonāt push to do too much just pottering around the flat and looking after baby girl. But as soon as I hit the evenings it feels like Iāve been hit by a bus. The...
I've been having a hard time the past month or so and I can't figure out why. I am prone to depression and I have been on antidepressants for many years. Postpartum hit me hard, but I worked through it and things felt better. The last month I have cried every single day I was fine prior to this now my thoughts are...
I talked to my doctor today at my 2 week postpartum visit about birth control I told her I wanted to get the copper iud because itās non hormonal and I have a history of severe depression and she told me she hates that one because it can potentially get imbedded in the uterus and get stuck⦠so I asked her which birt...
I've just realised I've been having frequent panic attacks (I thought I was going insane). It turns out I just have intense anxiety. Any advice? I'm considering medication.
Iām 32 weeks and currently having braxton hicks which feel like when I have them get a lot of pressure on my bladder.. is this normal and how many times do people get braxton hicks for are regular or irregular?
Iām 7 days post birth and yesterday my bleeding turned pink/brown tinged and my stitches were not uncomfortable anymore so I assumed I was coming out of the worst of it. But today they are suddenly really uncomfortable, painful to sit on and when I wee. There also seems to be more dark red blood again. Is it norma...
