Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Hey , I’m 38 weeks and 4 days and baby girl still hasn’t come. I took castor oil twice , curbed walked , walked since 36 weeks and I’m still not dilated, do anybody know how I could give baby girl an eviction notice 😂 or some tips on how I could get her out . Cervix 60% effacement

How's everyone feeling? Y'all holding up okay? I'm tired, but not as bad as I was with my first thankfully. I forgot how draining breastfeeding is and how stressful going bathroom is 😅 my save and grace is 100% my peri bottle. So desperately ready to feel normal again.

FTM here to a gorgeous baby girl and while days are mostly good, it’s so easy to look online and see influencers globetrotting, feeding babies, having dinners with husbands and not feel like I am just a worrier who goes through the day and constant flux of leaps and growth spurts with not the attitude I hoped I woul...

I hate myself. I know it's not her fault but the -without exaggeration- non stop whinging and crying all day everyday, combined with lack of sleep, no breaks, no time to do anything else, no support what so ever, and an emotionally abusive partner make me succumb to anger and shout at her when I can't take the endle...

Even with therapy and meds, I am not coping well. Why aren't there more resources for postpartum anxiety and depression? Any suggestions on what to do? I'm an FTM to a 3-month-old.

I had a fight yesterday with my husband that involved shouting and my daughter (16 months) starting crying so we cut short the fight and picked her up and consoled her etc. but I later also cried in front of her and she was looking at me. I’m just so hurt that she had to see this. We do argue in front of her but sho...

Hey, bit of a strange post… I’m 12 weeks. Just found out I’m having a girl and everything is moving along healthily so far. I’m so happy. I lost my Mum last year after a short battle with cancer. I’ve missed being able to tell her everything going on and ask her questions. It’s lovely telling friends and my in-law...

My little guy is about to turn 3, and at this point just about every mom friend I have has had their second, pregnant with their second or is trying. I've said early on that I'm one and done. We have no family nearby, post partum nearly destroyed me, my husband had paternal PPD, the amount of debt we accumulated in ...

how long did youse wait to have sex again after giving birth , i had a 2nd degree tear and stitches just wondering how long everyone waited as my stitches have fully healed and im 4 weeks pp

My daughter (3.5) is generally well-behaved but is feisty and definitely tries to test boundaries. Fine, I get it, part of her stage of development. However, for some bizarre reason, her behaviour when my mum comes to visit us is embarrassingly bad. She does things she would never normally do (e.g. trying to pull th...

Did you wait the 6 week mark to have sex postpartum? And did you have a c section or vaginal? Did it hurt bad? I’m so ready but nervous at the same time!

I feel lost im in my head all the time I don’t know what to do anymore

Finally had sex post partum and I feel nothing. My partner is well endowed below we used a bunch of lube as this is the first time. And it felt like nothing I couldn't feel anything inside. I could feel outside stimulation on my clitoris and breast. I even put my finger in there and nothing. Am I just broken? Like ...

Is anyone else clashing with a MIL? She is the only one who talks about looking after baby on her own. Today I saw her and she said she’ll come round and take baby out whilst I shower once she born. I’ve felt so anxious and teary since. I’m not sure if I’m being over sensitive but it’s too much , I’ve not even given...

I’m sorry if my post gets anybody down or is like a broken record, I have birth to my baby girl 3 months ago and tonight I really feel low and down. I feel like I’ve lost my way with my husband, we are arguing often over silly things, we arnt really making time for each other, I feel like he is less affectionate wit...

Does anyone have PMDD? I think I may have it but not sure. I’m just so so angry before my period and I have all the symptoms, its really taking a toll on my relationship with my husband because I’m so mean to him for no reason😭 and also my children!! What do I do about it?

Hi! Can anybody tell me from their experience what it feels like when the baby drops down into the pelvis and like ready to go labor wise? I will be 36 weeks soon and I don’t feel like I have felt that.

I'm driving my partner mad as I completely zone out during conversations my mind goes blank and I stop listening but I don't realise i'm doing it. I'm 5 months postpartum just wondered if anyone else has or is experiencing this?

Has anyone dealt with your kids father having major bipolar disorder and delusions? My daughter's father constantly is lying but me and Mom think he really believes the lies.He even said my mom called the police on him once and she never did.He has good times with his kids , cooking and going to birthday parties an...

Would i be the asshole if i didn’t tell my family i had my baby when i have her i don’t necessarily want to have them around especially my “sister ” who thinks she’s going to be in the room with me and my partner im also currently mad at her because she’s sent unsolicited dr google medical advice and at the baby sho...
