I wasn’t sure which group to post this in since it’s not entirely just about me and my husband, but also about his sister whom I am very close to. I had a baby five months ago and my ppd was hell.

My little one pretty much never cries, she’s gone weeks on end without crying, she makes what I call it sqwaking noises if she wants food, but other than she is just content looking round. Every midwife/doctor has a...

So me and my fiancé (aged 24) were sitting on the couch watching a movie with dinner and he randomly says that he misses his grandad who passed away 6 months ago and he's been thinking a lot about him lately.

Has anyone experienced postpartum knee pain nine months after giving birth. Since I got an episiotomy my pelvic floor therapist said it could be due to the scar. Not sure but any tips would be great!

I have good days and then really bad days and want to go back on other types of tablets. But the problem is I feel li...
