Postpartum Care

6 mo fell off the bed when dad accidentally fell asleep with her on the edge, our bed is like a foot/foot and a half off the ground it’s really low down. She has her bottom two teeth and the top gum seems to have been cut (the top two are coming in rn) and she was bleeding. She has a bit of a bump on her head. She w...

Did you ladies circumcise your boys ? My hubby didn’t want to and I respected his decision. I respect everyone’s opinion because both have good reasonings but why did or did you not ?

Hi, just given birth with forceps delivery to a 9.5lbs baby and ended up with episiotomy and grade 4 tear. Wondering if anybody has any tips for recovering, when to start doing pelvic floor exercises etc Any advice appreciated!

MIL is a complete nightmare since day one! Husband had surgery and she told him not even a week after recovery that he had to go to another state with them or she would disown him. Called me multiple names to my husband over text. After I gave birth, she drove down 14 hours to visit and proceeded to make everything ...

My ILs, in particular my MIL, and I didn’t really interact much or have too much of a relationship before my babies were born. We would visit every 6 weeks or so for an afternoon and on their birthdays, my husband visited more often. In my early pp she was so so nasty to me and really stressed me out, so much so it...

Has anyone been told they have diastasis recti already? I am 31 weeks and have just noticed when I lay back or sit up my stomach cones and now I am super worried. I know ab separation Is common in pregnancy to allow for room for growing baby but am worried that I have it really bad and I don’t remember having this...

My 5 month old has been screaming herself into every nap for the last two months. It’s so debilitating. It’s worse if I hold her, which makes me feel so inadequate as a mother. She sometimes but rarely sleeps in the pram after being awake for hours and walking with her. It’s like holding her and comforting her makes...

my 4 week old is loosing his hair on the sides ?!! he wasn’t born with much hair to start and now he’s going bold ?! 😭

Hello! Desperate for answers from women who have had ovarian cyst removal. I’m so skeptical on if I should get the surgery. I’ve read they usually go away on their own but I’ve had this pain for at least a year now. It only happens when I’m ovulating and during sex. My cyst isn’t too big, 3cm which is the size of a ...

This is my second pregnancy but I didn’t have this issue last time (had to be induced at 40+3) , I’ve been having consistent Braxton hicks since last night, im extremely hydrated and nothing I do seems to be working. They’re bearable, i can walk thigh them and they’re not happening constantly but when they do there’...

I had my second baby 8 weeks ago and I am feeling so physically drained, juggling my eldest ones clubs whose 7 and getting baby out and ready in time I am finding it so hard. Baby will only sleep on me as well so I can't even out her down to go for a shower or to eat as that lasts 10 minutes and she's up again. I do...

I notice every time i pump, and sometimes just randomly (like when i havent tidied up my place) i get these feelings of regret. Not regret about my baby per se, but random choices or things I said and did in the past that have nothing to do with her. I am divorced and i keep thinking about that relationship. However...

I’m currently in therapy for PPA but struggling now with depression also I just get so upset every day feeling like a bad mum and like I’m not managing as well as other people seem to be. I just keep breaking down and now starting to have episodes of rage where I just want to hit and punch and throw (obviously not h...

I feel so guilty. I screamed ‘fuck sake’ in front of my baby multiple times. I was so overwhelmed - she pooed in the bath, I was trying to clean her whilst she was cold and shivering, put her back in bath without mat l as it was poo covered and she was banging her head, tried to shower her but she screamed. I lost m...

Hi guys. I’ve been referred to the perinatal mental health team for counselling. Has anyone had this before? My health visitor thinks I have postnatal development. I didn’t think you could get it this late but maybe I’ve had it for a while. I had a very traumatic birth and I think it’s a build up of everything. Moth...
