Postpartum Care

I’m currently just shy of 2 weeks PP, and struggling/in the thick of a lot of emotional feelings. It kicked it around day 5 PP where I would just start crying in the evening for no reason, since then I’ve been weepy most evenings and feeling anxious. I feel like I miss my husband even though he’s with me constantly,...

Why does being a first time mom have to be mentally overwhelming why do I have to be such a slow learner for my life is to be where it is headed and he nay or may not get discharged today

She's so so clingy. Climbing all over me and grabbing me all the time. Whinging constantly no matter what I do. She keeps "showing me" her toys and wacking me in the face with them. I keep being pinched and prodded and yesterday she bit me while feeding for the first time since she got her teeth. My immediate reacti...

I know many women experience postpartum hair shedding, but I swear the amount of hair I’m losing is insane. I am not being dramatic!! Has anyone experienced extreme shedding, but found out there was a reason that caused it to be worse? Hormone levels? SOS, I might go bald 😭🫠

My baby just turned 6 months and I’m ready to stop breastfeeding and move her crib into her nursery (currently being used as a playroom). She’ll also start daycare next month 😬🥹. I feel anxious about all of this. In an ideal world would we wait until she was one for all of these changes?

Going through postpartum depression, I just had my beautiful daughter two weeks ago and I’ve been staying with my mom ( I have an apartment in another state) I’ve kinda been going through it with my BD so it’s put me in a sad state somewhere I’m not going to stay but I have feelings about it and I just had a whole h...

So 4 months postpartum and some days I still feel i can’t do it and not up to the job of being a mum… anyone else like this? I had bad post natal depression in the beginning and it did start to go but now I feel just so emotional and every other day I could cry

My husband asked for a divorce.. I had a feeling that the talk of divorce was coming but I didn’t expect the flood of emotions. We haven’t been getting along and we became distant. But I thought we would work it out. But I guess not. Now I’m reminiscing on our happy memories together and I just can’t stop crying. He...

I am 19 weeks pregnant and in a really abusive relationship. This is my first baby and I am in a different country with my husband. I have no support here. I do have a job n I earn well. But my husband is really emotionally n verbally abusive. I just cry all the time. I know it sounds pathetic. But I am feeling so h...

19 weeks pregnant, going through a breakup, with no support system or friends around me. Needing any kind of advice I can get at the minute, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this low in my life. Any ideas on how to deal with the emotions 💔😓😓

My newborn is 11 days old. Ever since we got back from hospital, my mother in law has had her. She does not know English so it’s hard to communicate. I am grateful that I’m able to recover and sleep, but I miss my baby a lot of the time as it’s her first few days. My MIL leaves in 3 weeks. Will I still be able to ...

Tomorrow is my finances families big get together for Mother’s Day and birthday parties. My daughter will be 5 weeks tomorrow. Is that too soon to expose her to that many people? I have anxiety! Really bad. Just too many people to ask if anyone’s sick. What do you think??

My brother died last year at the age of 37. I was 25. We only share the same dad, so we didn’t grow up together. I only remember seeing him 2 times since the age of 5. Some times I feel like something is missing within me and it started when he died. We share another brother but they have the same mom. Some times I ...

I suffer from depression and am a heavy smoker which majorly calms me down. Ofcourse I would give up completely when I am pregnant but we have been trying for so long I don’t see the point in stopping myself doing something that helps me (yes I know it is not a healthy habit) for something that might not even ever h...
