Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

I feel so down and depressed at the moment. I feel so unhappy in my skin, I have put on so much weight and just feel so uncomfortable in everything I wear. I feel like I’ve completely lost who I am, I don’t do anything for me anymore and quite frankly I have no interest or motivation to. I feel like a terrible Mum I...

Just wondering when did everyone decide to try have sex again after having a baby I’m only two weeks post delivery but I’m very much scared to even try and I’m unsure when you can I did have stitches too

Not really baby related but I need somes advice. I've been friends with this woman for 7 years, we met at work and immediately became good friends. She's 10 years older than me but this hasn't been an issue. She's such a good/nice person, kind and isnt nasty to anyone. She's kinda a fragile person (past trauma) and ...

I went out for the first time properly alone to my friends baby shower (3 months post partum) and everyone was asking how I’m getting on etc and I just didn’t want to talk about it and cried? I haven’t cried in ages and now I’m back home feeling deflated questioning what is wrong with me??

Pretty much been in tears since Thursday night with it and I can’t do this sh*t anymore I’ve to go to the hospital at 11:30 tonight and i don’t know if I can wait that long it’s actually so sore 😭😭😭

I just had sex for the first time, I already had my 6 week checkup and was all good to go but now I feel empty and lost. I thought I wanted to do it and I initiated it too but neither one of us finished and it was just scary to do and I know my husband isn’t mad at me or upset but I feel like I let him down and he k...

Is anyone dealing with an alcholic partner? I feel that i tried everything to help him but he doesn’t want to be helped, he doesn’t stop and i don’t know what to do anymore…

I had an emergency c-section at 31 weeks due to restricted growth in October 2024. After 6 weeks in NICU we got to bring our baby boy home. The whole experience has caused some trauma (it is still very fresh) and I am struggling with blaming myself for him coming early and not being able to grow him properly and the...

I get so mad at my husband whenever I hurt his feelings and act bitchy instead of apologizing and then we fight over how I can’t admit I’m wrong. I feel like I’m stuck battling with myself arguing and can’t find a good answer as to why and it’s just destroying our relationship. Last night he told me during the fight...

My LO just won’t stop crying, I don’t know what is wrong with her, I thought she may be coming down with something so gave calpol, didn’t do anything, she literally won’t stop crying no matter what I do and it’s been an hour. She won’t eat either. Help!

Has anyone experienced post partum depression. What did you do to help recover, I am 7 months PP, I feel like I'm trapped and there is no way out. I used to take LO out and try to socialise but ever since he has been 6 months it has gotten worse. I do not have anyone that can come over and help, if I need any suppor...

Anyone else's husband/SO/BD/BF have them thinking about how their first BD maybe wasn't THAT bad. Even though they were terrible. Lol. But your current SO is just so much worse he's got you reminiscing over their slightly less terrible past loves? Lol. Cuz my husband's so awful that recently I've been thinking "mayb...

I dont even know who the fuck i am anymore. I lost myself so long ago and I dont know how to get her back

How is everyone feeling about the six weeks waiting? I am two weeks postpartum and my hormones are making me extra cuddling and I want to snuggle in my husband all the time. But hugs and kisses are becoming not enough, especially that we haven't been much intimate for the past few months of my pregnancy. Another 4 w...

Anyone else experiencing severe hair loss still at 5 months? It started coming out at 3 months which I was expecting but it’s still falling out in lumps and always all over my clothes. Just had a bath and so much more has come out! I have thin shoulder length hair so don’t have much to lose it feels like and I’m sta...

Has anyone else been so frustrated that you've ended up saying things you don't even mean and been a bit rough with your child, not hitting them but pushing them away when they've been in your fave crying or screaming, or have shouted or screamed.. I never thought I would react the way I do sometimes, I love my chil...

Wondering how long I’ll need to wait 😭💕

My baby just turned one and I really want another baby. My husband is one and done. He wears a condom and is strict about it. I’m always hoping for an oopsie but not even sure how that will happen

I don’t know if anyone else feels this but I realized that I have become more angry and irritable since having my baby. I’m sure it has something to do with post partum and the hormones but im having a hard time navigating it since I have always been a very calm and peaceful person , nothing ever made me anger now s...
