Postpartum Care

Hi everyone, My daughter is currently 16 months old and is getting to that age now where tantrums are becoming a thing and she's starting to slowly but surely test boundaries, doesnt like when we take stuff from her, move her to a different location in the house, her favourite word right now is 'no'...all that goo...

I’m one week postpartum and every now and again I just cannot stop crying I am so emotional and hormonal. I feel awful because I have my beautiful daughter. Is this normal to feel like this? Not sure if it’s lack of sleep too

I’m 11 days PP and in all honesty don’t think I can wait 6 weeks it’s my other half’s birthday today and I want to get intimate again, have done since getting home at 4 days PP, have no stitches and one small graze, we would obviously use a condom but what’s the opinions?? Has anyone else done it this early on befor...

32 weeks and the past 3 days I’ve been getting Braxton hicks really badly and the pain has nearly had me in tears normally the pain was just uncomfortable but these 3 days I’ve had them it’s had me nearly crying anybody else get them really badly or should I be concerned?

Did you get your baby boy a circumcision immediately after birth or did you wait a couple weeks?

I have a nice MIL who lives nearby and she asks to see the baby every weekend and it’s getting annoying for me but I’m not sure why 😭 I can’t justify it I just feel annoyed.. and I know I can’t say anything. I don’t know why I feel this way.

Is it possible to have sex with my husband in this phase despite having a newborn???! We haven’t had sex since last year November due to my high risk pregnancy and now that my doctor has cleared me at my PP 6 week visit… I’m ready to pounce on him! My newborn is now 6 weeks old and is sleeping a bit longer but baby...

I feel like a bad Mom at the moment. I was clipping my baby’s finger nails and I accidentally cut to far. She only cried for a moment but I started crying for a while because I felt so bad.

I’m day 18 PP and feeling miserable. I can’t eat and I’m constantly anxious. I’ve cried daily as I feel like a useless mother - my plan was to exclusively breastfeed but it hasn’t worked out so I’m combi feeding and I feel useless (I know this is irrational thinking as fed is best). If baby cries for longer than 10 ...

Has anyone else's emotions really heightened recently? I'm 31+2 and I thought emotions were meant to be the worst at the start of pregnancy but for days all I've done is cry at the thought of my first baby no longer being my only and I feel horrendous for it 😩

Anyone had one and how you doing in recovery??

When did you start losing hair? How long did it last? How bad was it? I’m 12 weeks PP and haven’t noticed anything yet but I’m anticipating it so much that I feel like that alone will make me start losing hair 😬

As someone who has suffered from antenatal depression throughout pregnancy…. I’m concerned I won’t bond with baby or make it harder for myself with C section. Does anyone have experience of this and how it works without the natural oxytocin and endorphins produced in natural birth ? Thank you

When did people’s period come back after giving birth ??

I’m curious what your guys emotional experiences have been. From the beginning to current post partum

I feel like I must be the only mom who experiences this. I have my 2 little ones who both have different levels of autism. On the weekends, we stay in and my anxiety rages! The constant meltdowns because 1 has the plastic spoon but they both want it. The constant touching me and not being able to leave the room with...
