Incontinence after birth

Hey mamas, obvs this can be embarrassing, so hopefully someone doesn’t mind talking about it! I’m super bathroom shy, so I’ve been terrified to go to the doctor… I’m about 16 months PP and have been dealing with urgency and incontinence issues. At first I thought it was normal and would go away, but now that I’m ov...

4 weeks post partum

Hello ladies need a little advice please. When did you start using soap down there after a tear/episiotomy, just feel so groggy just using water and wanted to make sure I can. Also when did you shave, not shaving is irritating the hell out of me 😅😅😅

I h...

Blood thinners

Did anyone stop taking their blood thinner injections early? I have to do 2x a day for 6 weeks, I’ve been doing them 18 days so far and I couldn’t bring myself to do it this morning and just going to stop doing them. It’s really bringing me down doing them and I’m struggling.

When did your period start again?

For EBF and those taking the mini pill, when did your period come back? With my first baby, I got a Nexplanon implant at my 6 week appointment and was bleeding 3/4 weeks every month (what I called inverse periods) immediately until I had it removed 4 months later. So far I’m 3 months post partum and no period.
