6 weeks as advised. Not worth the risk of infection - you’re still healing internally 🙌🏻

Yes as said. Your womb is still recovering & your placenta will have left a dinner plate size wound. It’s not worth it x

Kinda a vent(idek)

Hey so I had my baby boy on December 12th and today I had finally accepted the fact that me has basically outgrown all of his 0-3 months clothes. So today I’m gonna go through them n pack them away. Is anyone else feeling sad but happy at the same time while they do for there little one?

Bloody show and then nothing?

I had a bloody show 44 hours ago (Weds evening) and no contractions since. Has anyone else experienced this? Baby still moving as normal and don’t think my waters have gone

Postpartum bleeding.

Hi Mammas!

I’m 12 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Has anyone experienced this? Is it time I go the doctors?

Let me know your thoughts?

It’s not bright red blood, it’s brown sticky and only using pantie liners..

Sensory Overload

Hi everyone! I work in a busy and noisy office and for the last few weeks I've worked 2 days and then been off sick for the rest of the week because my nervous system is completely shot. I can feel the cortisol running around my body to the point where it's exacerbated aches and pains as well and made my fatigue three times as bad. I don't get sick pay and I have spoken to work about this and had an occupational health review but I've been too ill to review it over the last 2 days so I will look at the weekend. I know that pregnancy is supposed to make sensory issues even worse than normal. I just wondered if anybody else had this problem and any ideas most welcome as my working environment - not the work itself - is causing a lot of stress on my system which is worrying me. They don't want people to work from home. I've got so much anxiety about even going in on Monday because of this and I've noticed I've even been getting overloaded in Tesco. I am neurodivergent as well . Thank you!
