Postpartum Care

I had horrific PPP and PPD and couldn't hack the newborn phase at all, now it just feels like all day he's making whiny noises, annoyed grunting or tantrums. I get that it's part of entering the toddler phase but he's sleeping through the nights less and less. Before he'd wake maybe once a night if that, now its mor...

I’m so disappointed in myself. Today has been just too much. I’m entirely overstimulated & overwhelmed. It’s truly unnerving realizing how much your own parents fucked you up. I have bpd & autism, (I wasn’t diagnosed with autism until 23) so there’s some c-ptsd thrown in for good measure. Even when I thought I wa...

Is sex after birth painful

I often find myself thinking about my past and wishing I could have done everything differently. Feeling ashamed of myself and unworthy of my life now. Sometimes I feel like I’ve accepted and come to terms with it but other times I don’t. I don’t know how to deal with it.

Did your baby lose hair? My daughter was born with a decent amount and lost some in the beginning but I noticed recently it seems to be breaking in the back of her head. Probably from shaking her head back and forth when sleeping but is this normal?

Mil and I relationship changed the minute her son moved out, and we got pregnant. While pregnant, she told me if her son had to choose between her and I, he chose me. At that time, I thought it was so weird. But now I see it was a red flag. Through the years, there have been so many instances where she showed signs ...

And how long any vaginal lacerations (paper cut type) took to heal

I’m literally crying over everything! I’m also finding this pregnancy so hard due to a loss last year full term but my emotions are just so hightend I’m crying over the silliest of things but also the most serious. Hopefully this doesn’t carry on because it’s killing me😭

How are you ladies getting on? I finally feel like we're coming up for air and I'm enjoying being a mum. The first 12 weeks of babies life were the worst 12 weeks of my life. I felt like I was drowning. My partner was diagnosed with post natal depression, our friends and family didn't understand as it's not as com...

I feel so bothered that my so called best friend has forgotten about me. We used to be so close like really close I helped her get through the pandemic when she was feeling so depressed. We would literally FaceTime each other day and night. And now I feel like she has nothing to do with me. She’s my only friend I h...

It’s been nearly 10 weeks since my section. First section. It was rough. Was readmitted twice but feeling a lot better now. I’ve only just recently started sleeping on my side again but it’s so uncomfortable after a couple of hours my hips end up hurting so I move to my back which seems to be the best position but I...

Any tips on hair loss. My hair is literally falling out in clumps 😢

Really struggling with 14 month old at the minute. My LG was so sweet and cuddly and used to love exploring and playing but now the past 2 weeks it’s constant whinging, throwing herself back, throwing everything in her sight smacking toys, head butting her cot and the floor, not eating struggling to settle for sleep...

I need help, I don’t know what because i had therapy in the past and jt didn’t help and I cannot take medication as I have very very bad reaction to antidepressants I had a few years ago and there’s no way I can risk being like that again with a baby I am struggling feeling extremely low and hopeless, I feel so o...
