Anyone else?

My little boy is a little over 5 months and recently has started pooing out the front! 😩 like literally nothing at the back of his nappy all up the front around his bits and comes out the sides 😂 it’s a joy to change! My first son had terrible constipation so barely ever pooed so it’s a learning curve to say the least haha anyone else!? Any tips?

My little girl has never had a poo go up her back 🤣 always been up the front! I’m not sure why xx

I have two girls & it tend to be when they've been sat up more. Also when its been more runny. If they've been lay down & the poo is more solid its doesn't tend to go everywhere {my worst nightmare - I don't like having to clean it up when its all over the front}.

When my eldest was able to sit up unattended for longer (around 7months) I started to sit her on the potty during nappy changes & looking for cues of when she was going to have a poo. It was just easier to clean it away (save on dirty nappies😅) & it didn't go everywhere. I'd have done the same with my newbaby but, she'll be in nursery &/or, my husband will be home with her whilst I'm at work.

Mines done it in all directions always when he has white on lol x

Just to say he is probably one of the cutest kids Ive ever seen😍

Yep my boy does it with almost every poo 😂

Yes but usually because she's doing tummy time

Yep my OH regularly causes a scene because he's 'poo'd out of his willy' 🤣

I don't know but I've just came to say Oh my god what a handsome little boy! He is just the cutest!

aww this made my day thank you 🥰

this made me laugh so much 😂 it’s such fun getting out of that area too!

aww thank you! 🥰

he also cringes when I clean the baby's 'delicates', and literally just dabs them when he's changing him 🤣

circumcision

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Complicated pp

I’m 4 weeks pp; am I the only one that has a uti and clit kinda went inward?? I’m waiting the 6 weeks but I have used a vibrator and I have a hard time feeling anything

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
