My partner’s sister hates me. She has refused to go to family meals because i’m going and refused to acknowledge my pregnancy, wish us congratulations or ask how the baby was/is. When our LB was born she demanded to come and visit and I said no. LB is now 12 weeks old and my partner is forcing me to let her visit. ...
My partner stopped going down on me while I was pregnant because I had so much discharge. It made both of us uncomfortable. I’m now 9 weeks post partum and I feel and smell better down there now but still not sure I’m confident about him going down on me yet. (Had a c-section so no tearing or anything). How long did...
So I’ve had a check up with the doctor and she’s said that with me taking mirtazipine it’s not the best to take while pregnant and the baby will have to stay in hospital for a few days to be monitored as it can make the baby extra sleepy🥹now I have only been given two other options sertraline and citalopram I’ve…
I just want to know if anyone else finds this weird or if it’s just me being too much? My MIL refuses to pass my babygirl back to me when she’s hysterically crying and makes comments like “oh isn’t she so angry” “this is the worse I’ve seen her” so she’s already over stepping boundaries but what I find extremely wei...
When did you get your period after birth?? I’m 5 weeks pp and I’m wondering if the bleeding has come back or if I’m one of those that got their period back early 😅 how did you notice/tell
my husband’s grandfather passed away and the funeral was Tuesday. It’s been hard on him. Literally never seen him cry like much at all and I just feel so terrible for him. I would love ideas to help brighten his day. Beyond things I already do like a card, cooking, sex, or a massage. I’m really trying to think bigge...
Why does my baby hate me? My daughter is 3 weeks old and will only settle for my husband and shes my third child. When she was born by c section I wasn't able to hold her until she was 3 hrs old due to a massive blood loss and I had to get put to sleep once she was born. I think that has majorly affected her bond w...
I am a Mother of two older children , my daughter 23 & son 19… I’ve been with my husband for 18 years, out of the 18 we tried 13 years (since 2011) to get pregnant. We only got pregnant one time before in 2017 and a miscarriage at 11 weeks. This PREGNANCY was a HUGE surprise 🤍 but a Blessing. I feel bad because I…
I actually didn’t know it was a thing during pregnancy I always thought of after! But the last week or so I’ve been feeling mega deflated, tearful and irritable I’m not sure if it’s just down to hormones or something more… I don’t really want to talk to my midwife about it as I have previous history of mental healt...
Just wanted to know if anyone’s experienced the same. I had an episiotomy and second degree tears, I’m almost 4 weeks postpartum and I feel quite good and almost healed, no longer bleeding. However my stitches sometimes just feel so dry and I feel like I can’t stretch or anything. It’s like the feeling of smiling wi...
Hey hey; bit of a weird one! Any one else had / has enlarged veins inside their vagina? When i open it up to have a look at my healing etc, at the top of my labia I can see bulging blue veins, I went to the doctor today and he said my vagina looks healthy and healing well but I’m a little worried as I feel insane pr...
My baby is 5 months old and I’m unsure if how I am feeling is normal or if it is something I should do something about? I have been feeling really low. I had a very stressful pregnancy and traumatic birth and I feel it has made me on edge about everything my baby does. I’m constantly worrying is she developing right...
Me and my boyfriend currently live with his parents. I’m 30 weeks pregnant now and this morning when I woke up my MIL asked me how I was ( I hate that question because anything I tell her, she says she had it worst or it’s normal, so I’m like wtf) Anyways, I’ve told her this morning that I have pains everywhere an...
Usually she caring and good fun . I think she’s jealous of the baby and having money worries . So taking her frustration out on me which is unfair . She offer to meet up this week but I’ve avoided it as I have too much going on post partum don’t need her negativity. Any advice
It’s such a conundrum that I can love my baby so much yet hate this phase with such a passion. Breastfeeding is so hard, as is being sleep deprived. (My baby spits up constantly and grunts for hours on end. Doc says it’s normal and to give him probiotics.) I have moments of feeling like I just want to run away and n...
Please help we’re losing our minds… I was just sat on the sofa with my husband and we were laughing and I mean belly laughing and all of a sudden I got a pain through my lower back on my left side. It wasn’t unbearable and I could breathe through it but it lasted a few mins. It felt like it peaked and then eased off...
So my mother in law didn’t like that her son (he’s technically her step-son) and I ended up getting pregnant before we we even actually dating, now we’re together and married, It’s been a bit rushed. But the second time I ever met her, she pulled up a picture of my man and his Ex telling me all about how she was a g...
I don’t really know what I want by posting this but I just feel like I need to vent. I’m nearly 36 weeks and I just feel like I still have a lifetime until this pregnancy is over. It’s my first pregnancy so I am extremely excited to meet my baby however I have had the roughest time I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had HG...
Any second time mummas who had a C-section first time around having pain around their scar? I was told it was starting stretching as my belly grows but it's so achy and slightly painful. Not really sure what to do
Anyone had any experience of this? All the information I can find is on pain for the women after birth however my partner is the one saying it’s painful. Feels completely normal and non painful for me. Baby is 8 mo however only done the deed twice both times this hurt my partner, confused at that’s causing this? I...
