I just had my first baby, in a country we just moved to a year ago, with zero support system in place and he is premature and at the NiCU. Logically I know all this is a lot to take for anyone and stress and crying and being depressed is normal. But the anxiety monster is constantly telling how not enough I am and b...
Anyone still not had there period 10 weeks postpartum and still none is this normal?
So I’m undergoing testing to figure out the cause of my bladder issues postpartum. Mainly retention/weak steam etc. My urologist wanted me to have an MRI to see if it was possibly nerve damage as I’ve also had numbness/tingling in my legs at times. (I’ve had 2 planned c sections & currently 7 months PP) My urologis...
I feel awful posting this but I just wanted some advice or reassurance that I'm no alone. I'm 5 months pregnant, SAHM with an 18 month old and I've just woke up today feeling checked out. We normally go out just for walks, baby groups, library etc but today I would just love to not be 'Mum'. I've already put a fil...
Like the title says! I actually felt pretty good in the first year and didn’t seem to lose much. Now in the last few months every time I brush my hair I get a load come out. Anyone else?
Any advise/products that you use that have worked? How long does it last for?
What should I do when my LO just wakes up and cries and cries for no reason? Do I leave them and only give attention when stop crying ? (Then I am deemed a bad mother for letting them cry it out!) Or do I immediately srop what I'm doing drop everything and pick them up and console them (then I am told I am rewarding...
I’m having the worst time with my toddler. She was such an easy baby and 1 year old. I feel constantly overwhelmed and that I’m a bad parent. She is testing me at every opportunity, giving me side eye and telling me no. I’m loosing it. Doesn’t help that I’m 38 weeks pregnant. Please tell me it gets easier
How long did it take for your wound to heal? I’m 6weeks pp and it’s still not fully healed :( been through a course of antibiotics and seeing my gp again next week. Just in so much pain and it’s really interfering with caring for my baby 😞
3 weeks post partum, I feel I have no connection with my baby. I don’t understand this feeling as i’ve always wanted a baby. I also have intrusive thoughts of what if I hurt my baby even though I know I don’t want that. i’m so scared of being this way forever. I went to OB they just upped my dosage of zoloft
Right girls I’m staring to get excited about all the things I’ll be able to do once I’ve gave birth, but I’m just wondering how soon after giving birth can I start using sunbeds again? It’s the one thing that has really affected me cutting out during pregnancy. Obviously I’m well aware of the risks of sunbeds etc. ...
I’m 14 weeks postpartum, exclusively pumping and 2 weeks ago my edges started to bald. Anyone else experiencing this? What are you doing to help?
I feel so guilty for how much I’m snapping at my child. I find myself getting so irritated by the tiniest thing that would usually never bother me at all. Such dumb things like throwing food off a plate, kicking during a diaper change, and other little things. I’d never lose my temper with a 2 year old for doing tho...
They started today. Came and went a couple times. Nothing painful, but noticeably tightening.
Anyone else super horny postpartum? I expected to be without desire for months but two weeks after giving birth I was ready! My husband has gotten lots of blow jobs and anal while we wait for the 6 week go ahead 😂
I have had my first period 14 weeks pp after emergency section and it’s been really heavy and painful! Is this normal?
Best cooling gel / pads after birth ?
What did everyone's period feel like when it returned? What was it like? How was down below with having a catheter in?
Can anyone give advice on being a single mum (I’m so scared) & leaving your partner when you have a young toddler and currently pregnant? I’m so sick this pregnancy and constantly an emotional mess but I just can’t continue being treated like this
