Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

We have a newborn. She’s almost 3 months old. Today my husband decided to highlight that our relationship has changed / “suffered” since deciding to become parents. He reflected that this time last year our relationship was much different and that it’ll never be the same. Then he went on to say he loves our baby a...

Really nervous to reach out for a bit of advice but here it goes. Any one have advice on how to help with postpartum hair loss, my hair did stop falling out about 3 months postpartum but now I’m 6 months postpartum and it has started again x

My baby boy is 18 moths, dad is Muslim, I am not…he keeps reminds me that one day eventually our son has to get circumcised but I don’t want to hear about it…I understand is hygienic and everything but I don’t want my son to suffer (my friend had a horrible experience with her little one she wishes now not to have b...

I feel weird even writing this but feeling so alone and disregulated. My partner and I keep arguing and it’s so intense I feel like fleeing. But I can’t because our 6 month old. There’s too many topics and dynamics to even go over here but I feel like we’re both feeling unseen and unheard… but I feel like I am try...

Anyone who co parents, do you feel like when dad has baby ur just living a double life? When her dad has her for the night I’ll make the most of it and meet friends or family or something if the sort depending on how I’m feeling and I find it hard to jump into my own life. But when u get baby back u find it extremel...

Has anyone been told their baby’s back is with yours? Really hoping he shifts around before labour, don’t want to experience that 🫢 I’m 34+5 so should still be time..

Anyone else really struggling with the change in weather and how their body looks? I’m 13 weeks PP (c section) with second baby. I know it takes time for our bodies to heal and go back, with my first I think it took close to a year. And i know it shouldn’t matter but I just can’t help looking in the mirror and feeli...

Baby boy is here and I love him more than anything. I am (just about) coping with the feeds and daily routine as my partner is on leave for a month. We have the regular issues with lack of sleep and postpartum emotions but I am riding the wave. My issue is that I feel numb. I feel like I’ve lost myself and I will ne...

I had my baby 2 days ago (vaginally) I can feel that I’m going to need a poo but I’m really scared on how it’s going to feel as I have stitches. Is it as bad as people say? What can I do to ease the pain?

Please no judgement. I really want some help and advice. My postpartum rage has been getting worse and worse over the past month or so. My LO is 7 months and has been a "difficult" baby. Doesn't like finishing his bottle, won't sleep through the night etc. My postpartum rage come out worst when trying to get him t...

I always thought the man I’d have a child with would be in love with me but it seems life had other plans. I wanted my child to be made with love not resentment and animosity. I only wanted to have a child that was wanted, truly and genuinely wanted but here I am. I’m left to envy those women with partners who are e...

Hi does anyone LO starting to fall their hair? Mine is excessively falling his hair and the side of his head has a big bald patch now. His hair isn’t even now, he got loads if hair on the other side.

Second time mum here with a 4 year old and 6 week old baby. I feel awful for saying this but I’m really not enjoying this newborn phase like I did with my older boy. It’s so much harder this time round and my six week old is so fussy-maybe I’m looking at the past through rose tinted spectacles but this time round ju...

How do you know if you’re getting your period postpartum? I had my baby about 5weeks ago, and I’ve start bleeding again but how do I know it’s a period and not lochia? my baby is formula fed btw.

I don’t know if I’m just over sensitive today, hormonal or completely over thinking but I am SO anxious and overwhelmed at the world I’m bringing my kids into. i.e the wars, climate change/global warming, cost of living crisis. I’ve just had to go and sit on my own outside and have a cry I just feel very anxious ...

So I’m stuck in a confusing situation at the moment with my baby daddy. So through my pregnancy I went through things with him from him texting one girl and him looking at other women to even him getting a girls number at the bar (which he claims to not remember because he was drunk) . I caught all these and with hi...

Today I had a major breakdown, crying and not feeling worth it to anyone. My son didn’t want anything I was trying. I wrapped him, unwrapped him tried to feed him and didn’t want it. He continued to cry and I set him down to try and calm down and it got worse. I didn’t know what to do at this point and felt like si...

I don’t feel like myself, I got my period and I’ve felt so sad, so anxious and just not wanting to do anything. I am on Celexa and busprion but I don’t know why it doesn’t really help when my period is coming around. I feel like I can’t do it anymore, all I want to do is sleep ask cry. I’ve felt so awful since last ...

I’ve struggled with postpartum depression after my first child and haven’t fully healed from it. She is a year old and I’m pregnant with my second child. My mental is all over the place and I feel as though I’m not getting the support from my husband like I should. I feel like I’m losing myself all over again but pu...

I’m tired of being called negative and that I’m letting my baby run my emotions when I’m not feeling good and I’m irritable or I’m crying because I’m sad or overwhelmed. No one believes that you’re actually sad when you’re pregnant just that it’s the hormones. I’m so tired of it . I just want to crawl in a hole and ...
