Debating. It’s been 4 weeks. I stopped bleeding completely at 2 weeks, i am able to go with out wearing panties so it’s back to normal. And I’m not sore I feel great. So I’m like uhhh 2 more weeks for what ?🤔🤔 but also scared to mess anything up my not waiting

Personally, I had a 3rd degree tear with 13 stitches so I may take 8 weeks. Yesterday was my 1 month appt with my obgyn and he prescribed birth control & said to wait 2 more weeks. Talk to your OB and listen to your body because everyone is different.

Absolutely! I’m not worrying about infection or pregnancy. I honestly don’t know why anyone would risk it.

I'm waiting more than 6 weeks! 😅 Everyone's sleep deprived over here! Lol What I really want is sleep, that's what I can't wait to get! And what I can't seem to get enough of.😆

I haven’t had my baby yet but definitely waiting AT LEAST 6 weeks. I think the risk of infection overpowers any horniness lol. It is not worth it in my opinion.

I started again at 3 weeks postpartum. I was using protection though. It all depends on your body and how you are healing.

I waited until 3 wks lol

i had a second degree tear, wanted and tried my very best to wait 6 weeks.. i have in just once a couple days before 4 weeks 😅 we’re now just about 5 weeks though!

It's been 6 weeks for me already, but I will wait until I get my IUD inserted (in 4 days). I feel bad for my boyfriend because he's been wanting it so bad. We didn't have too much sexy time during the whole pregnancy, and I thought we're going downhill, but it seemed like he was just not comfortable having sex knowing there's a baby inside.

I waited like 3-4 months after my first & will probably do that again! Just didn’t feel ready & my husband would never push me 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m so touched out by the end of the day that it’s the last thing on my mind 😅

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
