Postpartum body confidence

Is anyone else really struggling with how they feel about their body after having a baby? I feel so uncomfortable in myself at the moment that I don’t even want to get changed in front of my partner, but at the same time I really miss the intimacy

Well, it finally happened.

My 2.5 yo woke up last night screaming for Mommy and Daddy, terrified like she had never screamed before, and when I went in to check on her, she told me she had heard a ghost.

The monster and ghost checks have begun.

Has anyone’s baby had this before? What is it?

My daughter woke up from a nap and that’s when I noticed it. She’s been very fussy today and chewing more than usual.

Only child - I cried this morning

I have a son who’s 2 and I do not want anymore. I suffer with mental health and I cannot have anymore due to that reason.
But my sister in law has said how sad she feels for my little boy being alone etc and it’s not fair that I will
Leave him alone and the guilt I feel is awful 😭😭😭 the thing is not one of my partners side of the family help us

Hot take. I think it's better to rehome your pets after having kids if it's affecting your postpartum mental health.

I had to. I had cats and I could not manage the twins and take care of them. It wasn't possible for me.

Am I being selfish?

My husband has had a lay in until 9am the last two mornings whilst I’ve taken the baby downstairs from 6am so he could have peace and quiet.

This morning was meant to be my turn for a lay in, he is cuddling the baby but he is crying in the bed and I say to him, I think he needs his nappy done as that’s why he is crying and he ignores me after I told him around 5 times that the nappy needs to be done as baby isn’t settling… so I took the baby off him and did the nappy myself and took baby downstairs and said to husband enjoy your lay in 😂

I don’t understand why he couldn’t just do the nappy or take him downstairs like I do for him 😫

Is anyone else’s husband like this?

Not crawling

My LO just turned 8 months as isn’t crawling, not sure if I should be concerned.
He goes up on straight arms and pushing around and off things
