Community Posts, Tips & Support on Postpartum Care

So I attended a baby shower about two weeks ago, for me to attend this shower, I had to stay the night at my mil house due to us not having a vehicle (it’s in the shop) but anyway my younger sister in law had to stay here with my husband and the kids due to my older sister in law not wanting kids at her big day 🙄…

Can anyone relate. I become so angry and hateful and tearful when I’m due on like it’s so bad, it feels like my real emotions that I feel when I’m not due on but it’s like x100. When I’m due on I feel like I’m too soft when I’m not due on and these are my true emotions which I hide 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ve been like this since a…

Anyone else just having one child and that’s it? My LO is now 3 and I feel like I’m only now starting to feel a tiny bit like myself.

My daughter was born unexpectedly at 23 weeks, 2 years ago. She is honestly doing amazing, the doctors say she is a miracle and we should just treat her as a “normal” girl, since she has no “issues” from being born so early. It is incredible, and I can’t be more thankful. But why am I still struggling? She is my fir...

At what point postpartum did you use silicone scar patches on your incision & did they work?

Mamas what are we doing about this PP hair loss. It seems to have happened over night

I feel afraid and stressed. How do I come to enough peace inside to let her out, with so much uncertainty? Now I’ve got a new fear of having to be induced. And I’m uncomfortable with the idea of being in such a vulnerable position with him as my support.

My MIL lives close and she wants to come over weekly for a few hours to see my daughter and her son and I - which isn’t a problem. It’s just my gut always flips when she’s around, she doesn’t feel authentic to me and her energy is off. Shes always saying the right thing but with mean undertones. It’s so hard to ex...

I’m so nervous that I got the husbands stitch without Them telling me, we tried for the first time 11week pp and it hurt so bad he couldn’t even get it in even when we went slowly it was not Pleasurable at all. The only way I could get it in comfortably was on top even then i was still very sensitive and it hurt a b...

Hello! I’m a therapist and would love to poll other moms: I’ve been thinking about starting a support group for new moms in which everyone brings their baby, part of the theme would be exploring who we are with the baby, not separate from the baby. I would bring mine to. My question is: how would you feel in such a ...

Hello mammas, I am 10 months pp but still experiencing some pain if I work or walk more than usual near my incision, anyone experiencing the same or is it normal after the c section. How to get normal again please pour some suggestions

I’m in the thick of postnatal depression right now and I just want to hear people’s person experiences with it and hopefully hear how and when things got better for people?

I had my little boy just over two weeks ago, best thing ever. Is it normal to feel really shitty in myself and when I look in the mirror I just feel really unattractive, self conscious, very sensitive and just not like what I see?🫣
