Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

Postpartum rage, also dealing with a Narcissistic husband. I can't stand these days. So I checked myself in yesterday bc i couldn't take it anymore. It was nice talking to a pyschiatrist and a counselor... she told me "you're not crazy, you're just overwhelmed a d need rest, company and a therapist" or to either get...

I'm looking for other people's opinions on what they would do in my situation. There's a lot of other issues going on, but I'm mainly just asking about this specific thing (I'll explain below). My daughter's dad and I broke up last July and my daughter is now 5 months old. She is typically a very happy baby and eas...

I treated my mum to a drink yesterday as I haven’t seen her in a long time and doing that I feel like I messed up majorly. She tells me she is clean off drugs (cocaine) and that she will go to meetings and get help but she hasn’t at all. She has been up all night with my friend on coke and I’m absolutely angry. My m...

My baby is 4 weeks old, and I just started bleeding again. I was relieved when it had mostly stopped, but now it’s back (period like). Is that normal? I had a vaginal delivery

“Let him/her cry, he/she is alright.” Based on how I feel about this statement, it might be a bit obvious that I am a first time mom. Before I’d given birth I was against this method of parenting. I solely believe in doing what works for you, but I knew this was not something I would ever get accustomed to. There ne...

So I went to my obgyn for my 6 week check up and reviewed signs of PPD. She said I don’t have depression, but it likely seems to be postpartum anxiety. I have days where I’m perfectly fine and days where I just want to cry. It’s pretty intense. She prescribed hydroxyzine and Zoloft to take in combination with each o...

Anyone else baby losing their hair?😭😭

Curious is others are experiencing this. When someone asks me how we are and I tell the truth that this age is really challenging due to them being into everything and dealing with tantrums, they always feel the need to basically disagree with me and say ‘no shes a great girl’ ‘oh shes so good’ ‘shes an angel’ like ...

Can people who have used a prep machine before with their baby give me an honest opinion on them? I have a rapid cool already for out and about but I’d love peoples reviews of the prep machines.

I thought he’d have some hair by 7 months old, but not really😂 He’s got a tiny fuzz of very blonde hair so it makes it harder to see

My spirit senses being slowed down in life and blocked. She pretends, but I see she is happy when I face struggles. She only helps if it benefits her. I prayed and God revealed her to be a witch. What do I do? I cannot cut her off.

My MIL calls my firstborn as “my baby” I have a 15 month old and a 3 week old. I conceived her when my firstborn was 5 months old. Ever since then I have been sick or exhausted and I could not spend as much time with my firstborn. During this time he grew a strong bond with his dad and completely forgot about me. ...

Is anyone else still feeling physically not right after labour☹️ 9 weeks pp and I still have so much pelvic heaviness, my vagina feels wrong (can’t even imagine having sex), and I’m just generally not right. I keep seeing people saying they’re back in the gym and getting intimate with their partners and I feel so be...

Hey hey I'm 39 years old and just had my baby girl in January, my son is kind of left out of the pic right now because we are like new parents right now, again. I'm starting to feel like I'm too old for this and also really guilty about how left out my son is, any suggestions or comments? I don't mean to sound awful...

I’m a mom of 2 under 2 boys (4 month old and 21 month old). It’s proving to be harder than I thought. I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed, overstimulated and alone. I’ve been having a hard time opening up to people and voicing my feelings, I’ve been distancing myself from my friends and family because I just don’t h...

I dont think I want to go through postpartum again, this shit sucks even 5 months later. I hate my body, my hair is awful, my skin is worse. I have an overhang from a c-section that wasnt planned. I didnt appreciate my pre-pregnancy body enough. I love being a mother but postpartum is horrible. I dont feel feminine ...

What can help with this?

I really want a second baby but my mum thinks I shouldn't. I really struggled post partum - the first year I had some pretty extreme moments, though with a lot of happiness too. And the second year I started working really hard on myself to get better. Now my daughter is 2 and I feel great, and am handling it really...
