postpartum

so i will be 4 months pp this friday and since i gave birth my appetite has been, well, non existent. as well as my ability to even drink anything. before pregnancy i could probably drink 8 water bottles in a day now it seems like i could go all day with just having a one sip of anything and not finishing it. i can’t catch up on sleep, even when i do it’s not enough or im still sleepy. i don’t have any energy to do anything.. not even get up out of bed. any thoughts?

sometimes we get caught up in momma duties. It’s okay to take time for yourself and not stress about feeling like a bad mother for doing so. The better you are, the better baby is. Always prioritize yourself even if it’s for just a few minutes. You might not feel thirsty but your body is. It’s easy to ignore your needs when you’re taking care of someone else’s. Take it easy on yourself, and take it 1 day at a time. It took me about 6-8 months after having my 1st son before I finally got into the hang of finding a routine and finding more time for myself.

I went through this, are you feeling PPD at all? As my mood linked a lot to me not taking care of myself in early stages of post partum, plus your hormones will be all over causing a change in appetite!! Are you breast feeding? As this can increase/decrease hunger in women xxxx

Mild pain

Hi ladies ❤️ I’m 13 weeks pregnant and have had a mild pain on the right side of my abdomen since yesterday. It comes and goes, even when resting, and I also notice it when walking, bending or taking a deep breath. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I am a bit worried and honestly don’t know what to do.

Shaving in the last stretch

I know you don’t have to and midwives have seen it all but it be a personal preference if anyone be seeing down there. However 35 weeks worth of baby bump be blocking my view and I feel like I can barely reach at this point. How are you girlies finding it because the patch work look is not for me and some places I feel like imma throw my back out just to reach 😅

Overdue and wanting to avoid induction

I’m 41+1 today and still only 1cm dilated, I’ve tried everything to get this baby out of here. I have an induction booked for 41+5 but would rather go into spontaneous labour! Does anyone have any similar stories of not needing the induction at around the same time or anything that worked for them?
