Postpartum Care

There’s nothing I can do for her. I’ve done everything. Contact napped, nursed for 1.5 yrs. BLW. Gymnastics. Read to her everyday. Teach simple concepts through our daily conversations. Go outside everyday. Gift open ended toys during holidays. Lots of physical touch (she loves to be held), involve her in daily ta...

I'm just curious to know what you ladies think. So I was lucky enough to finally fall pregnant last year with my 1st baby at 31. Me and my husband would like to have a 2nd but not for a while we want to enjoy our little girl. I have always been unsure about trying for a baby after the age of 34. Cost wise I think th...

Hey. This is extremely hard to post as I’ve never told anyone this. But basically I struggle massively everyday with feelings regarding health and dying. I worry about my own health and my kids every day. I have to fight urges to constantly check my body and to check my kids every single day. If my child is unwe...

I'm a FTM and just looking for some pointers on how to manage visits with baby. I'm very open to family and friends visiting with my LG but I find it hard when she's upset and being held by others. If she's just being a bit fussy I let others soothe her and get her calmed but when she starts screaming or is clearl...

Hey, I’m 5 weeks postpartum and have apron belly. Is anyone else dealing with or has dealt with this? If so, any advice on how to get rid of it and how long it might take would be great. Thanks

Being a mum is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Also just realising how i’ll rather suffer than pose any potential risk to my baby. Currently dealing with a bad migraine coming up to 48hours now. Only safe medication really is paracetamol which does absolutely nothing for me . Obvs unable to take more effe...

Hello, I was just wondering how long you girls took paracetamol and ibuprofen for after section? I’m day 10 atm and feel when I forget to take some I’m in pain so just wondering when to stop. Thanks :)

What did you guys do with your toddlers during birth? My mom can’t stay awake at night and I’m worried she would fall asleep while my toddler was still awake. My mother in law doesn’t speak English and does things that I don’t approve of (my daughter says no more tickles and she keeps tickling her or she’ll try to s...

Because mine is BAD bad this time!!

Anyone else on this? I’ve been on coming up to 3 years now and I’m on 100mg dose and it’s got to the point where I’m feeling numb. It’s like I can see the emotions I should be feeling but there’s a barrier not allowing me to fully feel them and I don’t know if I like it anymore. What do you guys suggest I do? Should...

So when does it get easier. My LO is 4 mo and I still cry all the fucking time I’m so over it tbh.

Since 33 weeks and a few days I’ve definitely been feeling more cramping feelings. I asked doctor and he said they’re Braxton hicks and they will get worse as you progress. I get maybe like 2 a day…. Yesterday 3. Anyone else?

I found out I was pregnant a week before my son turned 2. I was so happy I was going to give my son a sibling and he will have a best friend for life. I’ve miscarried now and feel like I’ve failed my son. The age gap is getting bigger and bigger. Me and my sister are close in age (2 year gap) and my husband is a tw...

I'm starting to really struggle with my super active baby. She is 1 on the 28th, and requires CONSTANT stimulation and/or attention. She will never just be held by us, or sit on our laps, or in a high chair etc. she always needs to do something and will wriggle away from us if we just try to stay still for a minute....

Sorry not baby related. I just wanted to understand better since it’s always been a bit of a taboo subject in my family. My cousins mum had schizophrenia and committed suicide when my cousin was only 8. She was ways ‘strange’ apparently or so i was told. For example she would have no issues with wearing a blood st...
