Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

One of the unfortunate things about my job is many of our clients will eventually die and the facility. We currently have one client who’s in transition and actively dying and whose family hasn’t even come to visit her or anything. It truly breaks my heart that she’s dying alone. With just the staff around her to gi...

So ever since I gave birth to my daughter my back pain has been awful, I struggle to stand for a certain time and when I walk a certain distance I get spasms up it. And when I make sharp movements with my leg sideways for example my pelvis goes into a massive cramp and it feels like I've pulled a muscle and it can h...

Hey mamas! I’ve been thinking about all the wild thoughts that ran through my mind right before labor and how much I didn’t know, even after all the prepping. I kinda of felt helpless. I did 4+ years of mindfulness exercises including yoga, meditation etc. I never thought about using any techniques during labor ( wh...

Anyone else have this? Sometimes it just completely catches me off guard and it’s so painful to walk on. I just struggled to get up the stairs to my baby crying in her cot 🙃

After having my first baby in 2021, I developed agoraphobia and it got worse/diagnosed in 2023. I can't be outside my house without my husband without having anxiety. somedays, I still have anxiety and dissociate. Right now, I'm literally just sitting on my back porch watching my kids play and the longer we're out h...

Of course I've been on and off emotional throughout my pregnancy.. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and life has become a lot more overwhelming lately. I've communicated this with my therapist but she's making it seem as if it's "just my hormones". My boyfriend is great but is struggling a bit to keep up with how I'm...

My mother has opted to live with us - basically we’ve all immigrated and she doesn’t have enough money to sustain herself long term and into retirement. We have offered a room in our home and in the long term we will be converting our garage to make a small living area for her. It’s only been a few weeks but havin...

Hey ladies! My little one is 2 weeks old today, and at first I felt so content and happy (and I do feel moments of that still) but I feel like now that’s being overridden by anxiety. When she cries, I feel so on edge, before bedtime I feel so anxious, and today I’ve just felt awful all day, just super anxious! Spen...

My husband has lately been getting angry towards our daughter cos she’s been getting clingy to extended family. She’s always been an antisocial baby but lately she’s enjoying the company of my BIL and sister so she keeps cuddling them or clinging to them. And the husband has been ranting and getting in very bad mood...

So this is a bit of a rant/upset post. I’m four almost five months postpartum. When I was pregnant my family was over the moon so excited and so overwhelmed with joy. When I gave birth I specially asked everyone not to be there I wanted to enjoy that moment with my husband after years of infertility. During hours an...

My daughter just turned 4, and since she was born we have butted heads. That sounds bad, but she has just been a more difficult kid from the start. She’s very emotional and dramatic, and lately she has had the worst, defiant attitude. My husband just took a trip to visit some friends for the weekend and she acts up ...

Has anyone ever dealt with PP rage? my bd just ended things but i can’t help to feel guilty. I can’t give my baby that family. Im SHM and i would drink beers on regular. Sometimes it causes me to take my anger out on my bd. I want to know if i’m dealing with pp rage or the fact that he doesn’t offer help with the ba...

My husband started recently to comment my clothes. He loves sport/casual clothes, and I love more elegant, actually office “look”. Recently he started to tell me how my style is old fashioned or just :”looks like curtain, or please change this it doesn’t look attractive.” It really hurts my feelings. And I told him...

They constantly do things that could get them seriously injured no matter how many times I tell them not to. They're fight...
