Postpartum Care

Personally for me; my mother was a mother of 4 with 3different baby daddies, she was unable to raise all of us on her own so she gave us up to each of our fathers. My dad was for the streets so It was my grandparents who stepped up! My siblings & I were all raised with our paternal side. My mom’s family had mostly w...

I had a very difficult pregnancy and a very traumatic birth. Due to the blood loss, baby’s tongue tie and extended stay in hospital, my milk supply has been low and also it’s been difficult to breastfeed. I mentally decided for myself that I won’t breastfeed for my own mental health reasons and I’m combination with...

Hey beautiful mommas! I was wondering if any of you have sent your placenta off to be capsule, and did it help with your postpartum depression?

1. It hurts me terribly. 2. It is both physically and mentally exhausting. 3. It makes me sad that I am unable to breastfeed my baby, and on top of that, I have to listen to everyone's opinions on breastfeeding. 4. My heart breaks into a million pieces when I see my little baby asking for comfort and I am unable ...

Does anyone else just have a constantly miserable baby? There’s nothing wrong with my daughter, but she’s just so whiney and fussy ALL the time. It started around 5.5 months. She has maybe 10-20 mins of happy a day, and then the rest is crying, screaming, or whining. She needs constant stimulation. She doesn’t like ...

I’m 35 weeks and since last week my pregnancy rage is out of control. I miss and love my husband but I swear as soon as I hear him talk or am just in his presence I literally get so angry at him and I just want to cry because of how damn mad I am at him. I’m hurt because I see this ruining our relationship but it’s ...

I've been struggling a lot. I was engaged to my husband, but living at home in a very abusive environment, got kicked out of that house, and bought a house with my then fiancé. We're married for almost a year now. And I'm pregnant with our first. We weren't trying to get pregnant, but she's a happy little accident. ...

Hello, my baby has just turned 5 months, I have spent every second with her. She sits in her chair or plays on her mat in the bathroom while I shower or wash my face, I always have her in view. I enjoy it like this, it makes me happy to be around her I'm not complaining. I don't like being away from her. I have neve...

Well, my daughter’s 3rd birthday is coming up and it already looks like it will be another year with most people declining. I want so much for her to have friends to play with, but nothing I do seems to work. She’s a wonderful little girl I just wish other moms would give us a chance and other kids would give her ...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has ever been in a similar situation. I’m a first time mum to a literal dream baby (sleeps well, rarely cries, eats well).

Is anyone feeling disconnected from their baby? Baby is 5 weeks & in the last week I feel so tired & resentful of the baby. I’m so sick of pumping & breastfeeding.

I didn't realize I actually shout at my baby until my husband saw and called it out. She's now 8 months and I'm wondering if I'm in the thick of postpartum. She's been fussy lately, teething and sleep regression at the same time. I feel so bad 😞

I’m 5 months postpartum and I’m losing so so much hair! I know it’s part of the process, but when should I be concerned? It’s so bad that I really dread brushing or washing my hair.
