I’m really not interested at all 8 weeks post partum and my husband has been asking. I had a traumatic birth with forceps, an episiotomy and a small tear in vagina. We didn’t really have sex during pregnancy and that was fine as we were both a little weirded out by it!
I just wanted to check if others have felt the same!

10w pp. Haven't had sex since I found out I was pregnant in December

Had a birth with kiwi, episiotomy and small tear, similar grounds.
Its totally okay to be uninterested in sex, and very normal.
10 weeks PP
My partner and I have been starting slowly which has really helped, but on days where the baby has been more clingy/tiresome, I dont even want to be looked at LOL. Just be sure you're going at a speed that you feel comfortable with, and be sure to research into comfortable ways to get started again BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO! 🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️

9 weeks pp
We atrempted twice. Felt some discomfort so we decided to give it go when I’m fully ready
What is going on? He hardly sleeps all bloody night anyway lol but day time is usually okay! He keeps napping for maybe 10 mins, which is usual for him when transferred but usually he would sleep 1-2 hours in our arms! I would say he has slept for about 3 hours total between 10am and 6.30pm! I dont remember this with my first lol

Anyone else feel like they just suck at being a mom on some days?
FTM to a 2 month old and I know this phase is really hard, but it is just beyond words so hard and confusing and frustrating most of the time. And that makes me feel really guilty because I know I have this amazing son who I love so much and none of it is his fault.
I just want to feel like I can soothe him and keep him happy - and most days I don’t feel like I can.

My baby is 2 weeks old and it truly seems like she hates me.
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. My husband can easily calm her down but I can’t seem to do the same. She will be totally fine with him and the second he passes her to me, she will start crying.
I’m having a really hard time with it. Any advice?

I have an 8 year old and 4 year old and I’m just wondering do we ever get to go to the bathroom alone or have privacy while in the bathroom ever again?? My kids will not say 5 words to me until I’m sitting on the toilet then they wanna ask a million questions and they are hungry and they need this or want that. I know I can’t be the only one

My baby doesn’t nap longer than 30-40 minutes - still on 4 naps a day.
She is EBF but we have started weaning and trying to introduce a bottle of formula as worried she might be hungry
She’s up a lot in the night. Don’t know if she’s cold, hungry or just being difficult
Anyone else experiencing this?
Last night her longest stretch I think was an hour and a half!!
