Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Hi everyone; My little girl turns 1 next month (how has that happened?!) and since she’s been born I’ve seen a whole new side to my husband. He’s selfish, rude, inconsiderate, easy to frustrate and just not very pleasant. I don’t know what to do but I am really really unhappy within my relationship - while being...

My mom and me have been in and out for a couple years. Things have been good for the past 3 years as I had my children I have learned to only allow so much and to be more assertive with her. (Spent my whole life making sure she was ok and now i am a mom and have much more important things to worry about). One thing...

I don’t really know what I want to get out of posting this I guess I just want to vent 😅 I feel so so guilty that the only interaction my 7 month old gets is from me and her dad.

Currently 30 weeks pregnant with a toddler… Girls I am shattered! I could cry at any given moment My legs hurt My vagina is so swollen and looks angry I feel so lazy but so busy Everytime the baby kicks I feel I could piss myself Anyone else the same?

My baby daddy chose being with someone else over giving our family another chance. Before her, we were always together, slept same bed, sex, trips, ect, we weren’t perfect but we had a very good relationship.
