Is anyone having sex yet?

I’m currently around 4.5weeks pp and considering it but I’m just nervous about whether my tear would’ve healed enough yet, it was only a second degree and my bleedings stopped so I’m not concerned about infection but i just don’t know x

Episiotomy

Ladies who have had an episiotomy, how long afterwards did we shave/trim?

TMI feel like I have a jungle going off down there and my stitches are starting to hurt a bit and I can’t exactly see the stitches/scar it’s self.
I’m only 2 weeks pp so appreciate it will still be a little uncomfortable.

Car seat

My son hates the car (3 months old) to the point where he is inconsolably crying.
I’ve tried changing car seats, thinking that may have been the issue - he hates the other one also.
What are some tips and tricks to get him to enjoy it more?

Leftover medication

When I was pregnant I had gestational diabetes. I was only able to get a box of 5 insulin pens at a time on prescription and therefore have 3 full and completely unused pens (no needles) left with a date for use in 2028. They’ve all been properly stored in the fridge.

Seems a shame to bin them yet impossible to pass them on to anyone and pharmacies etc won’t take them. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do with them or do they just have to go in the bin?

I would like to have someone to vent to who won’t ghost me.

A lot on my mind rn spinning; have a 1 year old and a lot of things going on with her father as he is refusing to coparent and his family is awful. I hope to not be judged but always end up being critiqued.

Leaking Nappy

My 6 week old is 4kg and moved into size 2 nappies this week. Every night this week her nappy has leaked regardless of size or brand (Aldi and Pampers sizes 1 and 2). We are lucky what she is a good sleeper so get the length of time between changes will be having an impact. But any suggestions on how to stop her waking up covered in her own mess? 😬
