Postpartum Healing 🦋

I want to take back control of my body, my sexuality and my identity and I plan on doing so through the postpartum healing process!

I had 4th degree tears, and I began physiotherapy today. It will be a 6 month-long process to recovery and I know I will be stronger than ever before.

By creating this group, I'm hoping to find like-minded women to support one another through our unique healing processes ❤️ Whether that be recovering from a vaginal birth, c-section, taking care of babies with health problems, recovering from tearing, living with post-partum depression, struggling with fertility issues, having experienced a traumatic birth, etc. (I don't mean to exclude experiences here!)

It will be a safe space of encouragement where we ladies can give testament to our new found strengths through our postpartum journeys 🦋 We will share our postpartum hardships and triumphs! ❤️

Weight regulation

I'm 2.5 years PP and gained so much weight, how do I adjust? Any tips?

I'm on a ton of medication now, that all cause weight gain. Do I just accept myself as i am or try to be healthy? Like I don't know anymore.

I eat well, I move (although I could move more- but mommy and teacher duties prevent that). And my weight is not budging.

Postpartum s*x struggles

Sorry for long post! I need advice…

So my little girl is 5 months. I’ve had sex with my partner maybe 4 times max. It’s so painful for me and feel like our spark has gone. It’s either gonna make or break us at this point.

When I went for my check up the doctor told me there’s a lot of scar tissue and they’d given me extra stitches and basically made me tighter. (This was at 11 weeks pp) dr said if I couldn’t manage to have sex by the time I was 13 weeks pp that id get referred to a sexual clinic to potentially be cut. When I originally had stitches it wasn’t just one straight stitch. It was MM from being a full tear front to back. And the stitches went every where even on my butt cheek. I couldn’t sit down for 4 weeks. I feel tighter both inside and out. It’s a struggle to get him in.

also being a SAHM I’m always doing something with or for the baby whilst he works. I don’t want to spend my time (while baby is sleeping) to do something that causes me pain

I had a lot of birth trauma. 2 3rd degree tears, episiotomy and ventouse.

How do I get the spark back and how can I fix myself to be able to have sex. Has anyone gone through anything similar??

Postpartum mental health

Has anyone even helped from pp!?

I still feel emotionally and physically drained, I miss my old body I miss the old me. All I hear is get rid of the pregnancy fat soon, fix ur weight, don’t be too emotional, don’t be too chill, why you don’t trust baby with us, why is baby crying, why you think you know what baby needs you’re a FTM listen to us instead. I just don’t wanna be here to listen to all this. Half of it isn’t even to emotionally harm me or make me more upset but I feel upset because my mind is at war 24/7. I can’t take care of my self as much I don’t even remember the last time I brushed my teeth but I’m focused on my little bundle of joy 24/7. I don’t even sleep properly because I check her heartbeat and breathing. There’s much more and no my man isn’t here because we’re currently in a LDR. ( long distance relationship) I can’t make him feel worried about me like yeah I have the support but I feel not enough. I don’t know how to explain it but I don’t cry about it I just cope with it everyday. I just want myself back but it’s gonna be hard.
