Postpartum Care

Don't judge me on this but today has been hell. I've had constant crying, refusing naps and constant irritability all day. I had to eat my dinner cold, drink all my hot drinks cold and haven't been able to go to the loo all day. Today I'm seriously thinking that thinking I could do this was a stupid idea. I love m...

Maybe someone in here finds it easier when they write down how they feel as well? I suggest you try, I did it once and can’t stop since Big hugs to all of you who are struggling ✨✨

I’m really struggling after coming out of a toxic domestic relationship. I feel awful and look awful. Help?

I’m having a boy so is there anything to expect and do differently with them than with baby girls?

Does anyone just get waves of sadness and the evenings just make you feel so sad and depressed to the point where you feel you’re only living for your baby. Idk who to talk to because I feel like this every evening and I’ve bottled it but but all of a sudden just had to have a cry about it. I just feel stuck Please ...

My 4 month old daughter is extremely clingy and has fomo. From the moment we wake up in the morning, it is impossible to get anything done. She does not allow me to leave the room, will hysterically cry, she has an electric swing and a bounce and neither soothe/settle her. She wants to be constantly interacted with ...

I’m pretty sure my dad is bipolar, but he refuses to get diagnosed. It runs in his family and his brother is diagnosed with it. To be honest a lot of bad mental illness runs on his side of the family and I didn’t realize it till recently. Honestly I’d love to know what he has so maybe we can get him help and know ho...

Just wondering if anyone can suggest anything for hair loss/thinning. I’m so upset it’s just not getting any better only worse after nearly a year post partum :(

Anyone else's partner still struggling. My husband is still regretting being a dad and feeling depressed at times. I really don't know how to help I feel so sad for him and for us . Thing that upsets me allot is I've always wanted two children but I don't know how that will be possible now , he originally wanted k...

Well it’s official my partner and I are no longer together it’s just me my girl and the house now and our cats. I NEVER thought i’d have this type of heartbreak again. I haven’t stopped crying i need some support and help please. I’m going crazy.

Sometimes i have low lows and sometimes i have high highs i was examined by my dr he thought i was bipolar but i was going through ppd so he left me undiagnosed

I feel so guilty even writing this. My first child is 9.5 months old and I’m sometimes longing for me again (pre-baby). It’s not like I’ve ‘lost myself’ as I do things for me and am figuring out my ‘new normal’ now I’m a mum. I’ve always liked my own space, so I think one of the things I find the hardest is never ...

I finally looked after having baby a few weeks ago. I'm in pieces. I ended up with multiple 2nd degree tears and an episiotomy. Where they have stitched it all back up, they've stitched my outer labia over the inner labia. Half my vulva is now covered. I hate how it looks, and it's so uncomfortable still. I feel br...

I’m considering baker acting myself due to experiencing symptoms of ppd along with postpartum psychosis. I’ve been having delusions that the government is out to get me, that someone will break in and kidnap my daughter every night, etc… I get such intense mood swings such as sobbing one minute to laughing uncomfort...

All I have these nesting Urges 🤦🤦🤦. I can’t stop cleaning

Hate motherhood so far, 4m in and I’m hating it, I have to be honest. Baby was always difficult. I used to actually keep a calendar of all the bad days I had and ur lucky if there was 1 good in a week. Improved a lot with each week and I can acknowledge that so now it’s more like 2 bad to 5 good. But I absolutely...
