people who have had stitches down there after normal delivery, how long it took for them to completely dissolve and heal? it's been a month for me and i can still feel multiple stitches along with a stitch on my hemmoriod. they all are uncomfortable but the one on hemmoriod hurt alot while sitting and walking and i have to use a donut pillow.

everyone around me says it takes only a week for these stitches to heal and gets shocked when i tell them i still have them and they hurt, but my doctor says it's normal and they'll hurt till 3 months.

would love to hear your experiences and how long it took for you all

i feel so bad for my little one, she can only sleep on my chest but as soon as i lay her down (on back/sideways) she gags and gets uncomfortable like she's about to puke. she's been on my chest for hours now and idk what to do! please share any tricks/tips or medicines you've used that worked. at this point im even open to any desi totkas that worked

aoa everyone! my little one is few weeks old and we wanted something mobile while she can lay in there comfortably, there are many options out there but I want to invest in something long lasting. I've seen products with bassinet that's only for few months olds. any sources where i can get a pram that can be reclined flat for newborns and also can be used for toddler stage, and something that comes with carry cot and/or car seat

my neck got noticiably darker with dark colored rings in front during pregnancy. im 2 weeks pp and I've started noticing light colored circles on my neck in random places. is that my skin going back to normal or is it something i should be concerned about

how to prevent rashes in this horrible weather? im not able to wash my baby under sink after every diaper change but i make sure to do that once a day and i use soft tissues dipped in water instead of wipes, what else can i do i hate putting on diaper on such soft delicate skin

FTM and it's summers here and i thought this would be a waste of money since they'll outgrow it pretty quick, I've been prepared months before but now suddenly when my due date is really near im having a feeling i should've gotten it. i got swaddle blankets but not this, and i don't have enough time before delivery to recieve online order. is this actually worth it or do i place an order and wait for it to come

How do married Muslim women get ready day to day? if you put on makeup regularly then at what time of day? if it's in morning then do you take it off after few hours for prayer/wudu?

My husband works night shift and sleeps in day, wakes up around duhar prayer and leaves around maghrib. weekends are a better option but still how to manage prayers?

also i live with my in-laws and i feel awkward getting ready outside of bedroom, but we mostly spend time in room late at night when it's time to sleep (on weekends), so getting ready then feels waste of time

im still figuring out what my husband likes since he's not that expressive, but where we live summers and winters are really intense, how would one manage getting ready in those days? wearing uncomfortable clothes is really difficult in extreme weather but i guess little makeup and jewellery works?

what would one need to do if they did bs in SE and would want to change careers and become a practicing therapist. Is that even possible?

For context im 29 weeks pregnant and super uncomfortable, my husband is really supportive and amazing but i can't stand my MIL sometimes. i live with just these two and she recently had to let go my SIL who was kind of more available for her.

I understand she's lonely but is now more focused on everything else around her including what i do around the house. I'm already an anxious person and she constantly observes me, looks at what im doing whenever she enters the kitchen and nitpicks at smallest things. she has this habbit of speaking loudly and every time it triggers me. i understand that's her way of communication but it's been getting on my nerves so much recently.

since im this far along in my pregnancy im unable to get out of the house, even sitting in car for 10 minutes is uncomfortable, so im basically stuck at home

She went away for the weekend for something and i never felt so free and liberated. and whenever she's home i just lock myself in the room and scared to go out and do regular stuff. this house doesn't feel mine at all, i think hundred times before doing the laundry since washing machine is in kitchen and she almost everyday have her clothes on drying line. plus guests now come more often for her company and it's super uncomfortable for me

i know others have it worse and i know im being extra sensitive right now but it's been adding to my anxiety and i keep worrying about my kid being constantly nagged or nitpicked or critisized. i never ever want that for my kid.

don't get me wrong she's been really helpful throughout my pregnancy in terms of cooking and making extra things i might need (happened rarely), but it's the idea of not being able to move freely and do things around the house.

i know i should just do what i want but i just can't help it these days, and i don't want to feel like this when i know it's effecting my baby. anxiety is just too overwhelming and ultimately it effects my mental health alot.

has anyone else dealt with something similar while being pregnant and emotional?

where can one find trained staff for pregnancy/perantal massage? preferrably at home services
