Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

I'm genuinely fed of everyday looking the exact same. The same conversations with my partner, the same conversations with my 8 month old, the same chores, the same mess, the same everything. I don't know how to get out of this flump. It's killing me and I'm getting more and more days where I don't want to mum. Don't...

I think overstimulated that I cannot hear my infant cry, nor I can’t stand my toddler to be crying at the moment like I just wanna run away and cry myself. I’m sick and I feel like I haven’t even had time to take any medicine and my partner doesn’t even help me.

Has one else experienced lower stomach pain post c section? I had baby a month ago and am back to normal the Scar doesn't hurt n is all healed up but any pressure on lower stomach is so sensitive and tender I literally feel bruised. I can't remember experiencing this issue after first c section by this point I was t...

I had my lovely little boy 4 months ago and he’s mine and my partners first child together. Since he’s been born, our relationship has just become terrible. It started off with my partner just completely stopping affection and any sort of emotional intimacy. He said it was because he was just so obsessed with our bo...

I know there are several posts like this but I really need to get something off my chest…. I have people who don’t realize how weak and tired this pregnancy has made me and they expect me to be at the same level I was before pregnancy… I’m like guys I can barely get through a 6 hour shift at my job without feeling...

So much has happened over the course of my baby’s life. And he’s only 17 months I need to vent and find a little bit of comfort.

I’ll start from the beginning. During pregnancy, I was extremely ill with HG for the first 4-5 months. I was bed ridden for a lot of the time and felt like a zombie. During this time it was really hard for my partner to understand how ill I actually was and what I was experiencing. He often made comments about how I...

My family and I just moved back to our hometown and we've had to start over in every way, we are slowly adjusting and we are expecting a baby soon, it's my second one and probably the last one, im running out of my personal savings and will rely on my so for support, ive been contemplating the idea of taking out a l...

I’m 37+6 weeks, my mum passed away suddenly yesterday morning (10/01) there was no warning or any signs she was unwell. I’m due to give birth to my little girl in the next couple of weeks and I’ve never felt more frightened not having her by my side through labour and just life in general. This was her first grandch...

I’ve told my OB and my son’s pediatrician and my own psychiatrist about it. They don’t take it seriously. I was on anxiety medication (Klonopin) for ten years before I was pregnant, stopped bc I was pregnant and went without it. No withdrawals or anything. And im still not on it. Nothing else works for anxiety. They...

I just yelled at my daughter and I feel so awful now that she’s asleep. I’m SO overstimulated right now and I think that’s where it came from😫. I have no family and friends here where we live and her dad doesn’t help with her at all. I told her we would practice drawing and tracing tonight which I ALWAYS do what I…

Not for baby but for me. I’m not sure if I should get an appointment with the doctor or not, I’m not usually the type to be bothered for getting checked over small things but a few people have said I should have it looked at. I think I broke my toe a few weeks ago, it’s still swollen in different places, bent and th...

I’ve been struggling with PPD after our last baby and I feel so unheard by my husband. I just want to be loved on and not be pressured about not having enough sex with him.

Hi all! Super fun topic: I’m three weeks postpartum, but I’m still having some pain, light bleeding, and trouble sitting from a labial tear and stitches. I’ve been too scared to look closely, but I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this kind of tear, suggestions for healing, and estimates of how long before ...

I looked like absolute shit when I gave birth and the 8 weeks after. The reason was my hair. It’s curly naturally and I just couldn’t deal with it at all. This time I don’t want to have the same issue.

So this is mainly for the moms that have already given birth. Have any of you experienced core, back, and / or hip pain at night that made it hard or near impossible to get up? I had a really hard time last night getting up. My daughter was crying, and I was so over tired and sore I didn't get up. My husband got up ...

I am a bridesmaid for a really good friend and it’s her hen do next month but I don’t know how I’m going to be able to go because I’ve not been away from my baby yet all. She’s refused a bottle so far, she’s been really poorly twice with RSV and uses me a lot for comfort so I’m really worried about leaving her with ...

I’ve really hit rock bottom and I don’t know where to look for help…I’m a single parent to a 3 year old and I’m currently living at home with my parents. I’m really struggling mentally at the moment and tonight I explained to my mum how I’m feeling and that I have been so close to ending my life and she told me that...

Is anyone experiencing PPD still? I’m 3 months PP & must be experiencing PPD. I’m very irritable & on edge. I don’t lash out on my child , but everyone else catches a stray when I’m in a mood. Maybe this is just me. Who knows….

Is anyone else so tired of hearing babies are blessing or that motherhood is the greatest gift in the world bc my journey has been nothing but hard and it makes me feel like a shit mom when people say this bc I want to say “well not in all cases” but then it sounds like I don’t love my son but I do more than anythin...
