Is it possible to experience postpartum before baby even gets here ?

I’m not sure if i am easily irritated during this time or if my partner is just a dick. Whenever i am about to start my period he is not listening to what i am saying and how i am feeling because “you’re just emotional because your period is due soon”. Like wtf it’s not a reason not to listen to me or not care about...

Please be honest 🤣 My friend has went out tonight for her 21st birthday with a group of people. I’m quite upset she never bothered to ask me. We are close and we go out for food quite a lot with my baby and she messaged me the other day saying we will have to go out again soon. I did say we should do a certain…

I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old as well. I’m panicking a little as the plan I had for third/fourth trimester has fallen through. My MIL agreed to help me during this time as my husband was struggling a lot with his mental health due to a few things (mainly due to big life changes with moving abroad...

I randomly came across my ex instagram page last night and me being nosey ofc I looked and I discovered that he lied about why he broke up with me, he was actually cheating on me and celebrated this girls birthday with her just days after breaking things off with me and had her around his family and now almost 6 yea...

I haven’t given birth yet and am already overwhelmed by the idea of people messaging me for updates on the baby or asking to come see her especially my MIL who talks about the baby like it’s hers 😭😭 I swear she announced and talked about my pregnancy more than I did.

I had to say goodbye to my dog recently. And now I’m experiencing grief for the first time, and I don’t know how to handle it. I feel like I’m spiraling back into depression.

My baby girl is 5 months and I love her to death!! however I still don’t feel that mother instinct 100%. more like 70%. I don’t feel completely bonded with her cause she’s an infant who can’t talk or understand anything and doesn’t have much of a personality. when did you feel 100% bonded with your little one? I h...

I’m approaching 4months PP and my hair is starting to fall out quite a bit in the shower and I’m also growing a crazy amount of baby hairs around my hairline. Is anyone else the same? I feel like I look a constant mess!

I’m 3 months postpartum I also have a 15 month old. So 2 before 2. Why do I want another baby?!?!

My husband just left me and our 5 weeks old baby. I'm very emotional and don't know what to do. I don't have any family support and I'm left on my own. I don't know what to do. I love my baby so much but now I don't know how I can look after him on my own and what to do, at least for the next few weeks.

I’ve got a first degree tear after having giving birth 5 days ago and have 4/5 internal stitches how are people dealing with the itchiness? I’ve tried to ice it but it’s very difficult to get the relief as they’re internal!
