I am currently 10 days postpartum & my sex drive has been high since having my baby. I did get 5 stitches . Can I have sex already or should I wait ?

Has any experienced a pelvic floor prolapse after birth?

I feel like my incision is sensitive again now that I’m pregnant with my second and I waited 2.5 years before trying again. I’m just concerned whether or not it’s normal or does that mean it wasn’t fully healed?

Sorry long post ahead!! I haven’t really spoken to my aunt much in around 2yrs. I was socially isolated and withdrew due to my abusive partner. I’ve had 2 babies and currently half way pregnant with my third baby. I finally got my shit together and fled the relationship and am reconnecting with family I’d isolated ...

I really want to move out of state .. everyone keeps telling me that I should wait but honestly what’s the point of staying someone where your already doing everything by yourself yk ? So I decided I really want to move out of state and start my life . I know my parents will not be happy but .. lol they don’t help m...

I’ve been feeling off since I had my baby. The lack of physical support that I receive from my husband breaks my heart. Did I rush into a marriage thinking I was doing the right thing or am I overthinking? I’m burnt out but I try to be the best mom to my baby. I’m the only one who’s working a job that I highly disli...

Very personal question but I’m really wondering how long after a vaginal birth does the hole go back to a relatively small one if it ever does? I feel like a chicken 😭

Omg ladies! What is everyone doing about this postpartum hair loss?!?!! I am loosing so much it’s painful to the soul 😭

For me, it’s just another level of craziness and just having a cry out just because she ain’t getting her way or what not. It’s hard enough because I can’t physically move as fast nor, keep up. How are you all managing?? Mentally coping?

I had tearing during delivery and was wondering if they actually heal and close up or if it heals and left open. Mostly asking cause where the tear is is still painful. I stopped bleeding, I'm just feeling pain when I move, like sitting or getting up or even getting out of the car.

Hey! Just curious as to what everyone else’s partners are doing to help them through the first trimester. I’m really struggling with mood swings, fatigue and nausea. My partner is being helpful-ish, but he gets moody when I have my mood swings. I’ve explained that I’m not choosing to have them, it’s hormonal but I d...

We went out for a family walk today and stopped in the pub on the way home. A old guy referred to our little lady as a little boy. Now I would get it if she was in neutral clothing but she was dressed so girly. When the old guy said “is wee one a boy” I replied quite bluntly with “what with a pink dress and pink tig...

I’m over my bd but I’m still not over being so deeply in love. I’ll be at work fine and randomly see or hear something and the memories come back and I’ll be holding back tears. Remembering being so happy, so at peace, so safe, so loved and now it’s gone. That feeling is like a drug and I’d do almost anything to g...

I posted a couple of things in groups on here about my body shaming MIL. I don't want her staying in my tiny two bedroom apartment on short notice because she'll be alone with a nanny who is really shy and who I don't know very well and my four year old daughter. I'm scared she will say a lot of horrible nonsense ab...

For those who already had more than one period after birth, were your periods after the first one regular or irregular? Thanks

My MIL has a very recent dementia diagnosis. She's still very mentally with it. She also has a lengthy history of being really sizeist. She has a very fast metabolism, eats whatever she wants, and stays weighing about 100 lbs. Not a problem except that she thinks anyone who's at all heavy (or even just curvy or stro...

Can anyone tell me their happy ending stories of leaving a toxic baby dad and things getting better or even finding someone better?🤣 a girl needs some hope over here ✌🏽🤣

I don't know why I'm posting. Maybe just writing this to use it as a forum to vent. I'm a solo mum, I chose to keep my baby, and I love her implicitly. Finding out I was pregnant, my partner of ten years reacted really badly. He removed me from the companies we built and told me to get an abortion. I had always be...

I’m on the homestretch and scheduled for induction at the end of the week. I can’t help but feel incredibly depressed along with anxiety. I’ve been single throughout this pregnancy as the father walked out on me and our pregnancy in April. Then to add on to the emotional baggage my own father passed away in May. And...

I’m going through the postpartum stage of my hair falling out! Any advice!!!?
