So ever since I gave birth to my daughter my back pain has been awful, I struggle to stand for a certain time and when I walk a certain distance I get spasms up it. And when I make sharp movements with my leg sideways for example my pelvis goes into a massive cramp and it feels like I've pulled a muscle and it can h...
Hey mamas! Iāve been thinking about all the wild thoughts that ran through my mind right before labor and how much I didnāt know, even after all the prepping. I kinda of felt helpless.

Of course I've been on and off emotional throughout my pregnancy.. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and life has become a lot more overwhelming lately.

Has anyone had their tubes tied? If I have to do a second c-section instead of VBAC, my OB is offering to tie my tubes since I know I'm done. Im so torn on what I want to do. I've heard so many say they regretted it even though they didn't want any more children. She's also offering an 8 year IUD but the thought of ...
Hey ladies! My little one is 2 weeks old today, and at first I felt so content and happy (and I do feel moments of that still) but I feel like now thatās being overridden by anxiety. When she cries, I feel so on edge, before bedtime I feel so anxious, and today Iāve just felt awful all day, just super anxious! Spen...
