Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

So we’ve had a holiday booked for a while now, just found out we’re pregnant. This means after a c section we will be going on holiday to a cabin (a bit of luxury) but with a 4 week old and a mum 4 weeks post section. Anyone done similar? Am I nuts still considering going?

My daughter screams her lungs out when myself or husband are not around. She usually goes to her grandparents every weekend and yesterday surprisingly she had a crying and very desperate moment looking around. We thought there was something with her and today we left her with my sister as we are moving and she did t...

So I’ve been getting intrusive thoughts but not bad ones. like when I cross the road, I always think what if a car hits my pram, I’m gonna have to throw myself infront of it😂 i don’t think of anything to harm me or the baby, it’s just I think about what if we die or i die really often😭 am i going insane ?

I found out a little over a month ago my daughter has autism and she’s on the move the moment she wakes up she’s always go go go 100% of the time always repeating herself when she wants something and it’s even harder when we aren’t home I don’t ever just have a break I feel like I’m about to be on the edge of a ment...

How soon can you be intimate after giving birth? I gave birth a month ago

Hey mamas I want it to know if I’m alone in this….is it normal to out of no where think about who’s the most equipped person to raise your kids in the event that something happened to you???? The world is wicked and a lot of bad things are happening to innocent people and it has my mind running lately…I talked about...

I had a mental breakdown today. My partner has been working and I have been with the kids by my self. I suffer with depression. This morning I thought my feelings were going to control me as I had the urge to run into a running car and just die. I started scratching my ear so bad and crying that he noticed. Took the...

For my first, I made the mistake of not really thinking about myself post partum. Had everything for baby etc but really struggled postnatally. Looking for ideas on how to feel a bit more prepared this time round with practical things but also just self care. Anyone got anything they're thinking of getting or doing...

Hi mothers I deliver my baby natural birth before one month, but I still have pain on my vagina. Regularly I washed water with salt and I put some painkiller cream How long it takes to recover the wound?

BD broke up with me and not even a week later flirted with a girl. I’m 7 month PP and very insecure. I can’t believe I gave my body to create a whole human with someone who doesn’t appreciate it at all. Wtf.

I want them to stay safe and know they’re loved. I think this is the hardest part of motherhood for me. That eventually one day, we can’t protect them like we want 😭 sorry if I just ruined the vibe

I am 16 weeks postpartum. In the last couple of week I have been feeling very emotional. I have been crying daily and feel really down. My partner and I have been arguing everyday. He is not always the most understanding but I think he is starting to see how much I am struggling. I am considering talking to my Gp ...

So I’m currently living at my mom’s house until we find a place, right. Since our lease ended and it was just one bedroom and 1 bathroom, we did not renew. I do not know how to stop this. My mom just yells “GRANDMA’S BABY” in Spanish and scared the heck out of my baby girl. My baby either jumps or cries or both. I t...

4 weeks PP on Monday and I’ve definitely had the baby blues a lot. I wouldn’t say I’m at the PPD stage but I have this feeling of this is all temporary and I’m waiting for things to go back to normal, then get the sudden ‘dread’ / anxiety feeling knowing actually this is permanent and life will never be the same aga...

I actually can’t do it. My 16 week old baby girl has been screaming for 3.5 hours now and she’s WAY past her wake window. I tried putting her down and rocking and dummy and more milk but nothing is working. She’s a very miserable child but not this bad. I’m struggling so much and I feel so disconnected from her whic...

My SIL to be is having a hen party. We're not close & it's not my cup of tea but I don't want to be hated for not attending. I've never felt I fit in with the family yet want to feel accepted. I suffered multiple miscarriages last year & it's out of sight out of mind for everyone else, they see me smile in pictures...

For those mummy’s who have already had their little ones, how did you cope with partners returning to work after Pat Leave? My other half is due back to work on Monday and it’s safe to say I’ve been an emotional wreck everyday, multiple times a day, feeling crippled with anxiety and fears of being on my own. Any...
