My husband me and my daughter have had two insurances one through my work and his VA health insurance since he is a 100 percent disabled veteran. Through my work, my insurance premiums are paid by my employer for all dependents. My husband recently got a job where his insurance premiums are 100 percent paid as well by his employer for all dependents. Should we enroll in my husbands insurance as well? We would have three insurances in that case.
I’m trying really hard to be positive but i am so stressed. I do have a part time nanny that comes three days a week and family will help watch her two days a week (5-6 hours a day). My husband started a new job four weeks ago which started of with three weeks of continuous travel so I was solo parenting a 4 month old while working full time. Hes finally back in town and he gets home and gives my daughter a bath then basically isnt able to help since he has work and works until right before he goes to bed. There are two ways im looking at this 1) my husband just started a new job / im being unsupportive and need to ride the wave and it will get better versus 2) im still postpartrum dealing with pp anxiety and a prolapse from delivery and trying to manage work, the baby, two dogs, stuff around the house.
I am very lucky to work from home but my husband has made me feel like just because I work from home it’s an easy job. He has even said some statement “ well I actually have to go into the office etc”
I mean I get it going to the office took more time when I did it back in the day but I really feel like I’m doing majority of the parenting.
I am scared one day I am going to snap from this resentment and anger tbh. I am going to increase the nanny’s hours in hopes it takes some off my shoulders.
Hi all I’m 4 months pp with a stage one bladder and rectal prolapse. It has gotten better with PT and stopping breastfeeding at 6 weeks but I’m just so over it. My Pelvic floor therapist said I don’t need a pessary but just carrying my daughter the tampon hanging out feeling sometimes comes back ( not as severe) but it’s there… I also want to start feeling more normal. I was hoping a pessary would help me not be so symptomatic and could provide some extra support when I’m working out or just living daily life. Anyone have some input why PT would be against it? I did ask her and she just said she wants to continue strengthening my pelvic floor muscles and the pessary also has some possible issues/complications that can arise.
Does anyone have a stage 1 prolapse that opted for a pessary? I’m going to continue PT for the foreseeable future but I’m trying to improve my quality of life at this point. Is a pessary going to be too much of a hassle?
I am 4 months pp and I had a stage 1 bladder and rectal prolapse. With PT at the 3 moths pp mark I was checked at pelvic therapy and was told I no longer had a prolapse but had to work on getting stronger and not over doing it. I have been slowly increasing weight when I work out and still haven’t done more than what PT allowed which is 20 pounds right now. We started at 10 pounds and each week they have allowed me to increase by 5 pounds.
Between lugging my daughter out of the house alone since my husband can’t help ( she 18 pounds) and I did wear a belly binder two days only for a couple hours all of a sudden I am symptomatic with my prolapse.
Anyone have a hiccup like this in their recovery? I go to PT Tuesday next week and they can check me then but I’m so scared I have an actual prolapse again .
Hi all - I’m three months pp and was diagnosed with grade 1 bladder and rectal prolapse at 3 weeks pp. It has been improving with pelvic floor therapy but I’m still struggling to wear a tampon without discomfort. It just feels like it is in wrong. It doesn’t feel like it is going to fall out but just feels off.
Anyone have this issue in their healing journey then it got better and were able to wear tampons again?
I was checked internally by the physical therapist and she said my prolapse is basically better but I need to continue getting stronger and keep up with PT. Is the discomfort occurring due to my pelvic floor not being at full strength yet ?
Hi all- if I had an abnormal pap and then a colposcopy which my results were CIN 2. Should I go ahead and get LEEP or wait for it to clear on its own. I am worried about future children etc if I go down the LEEP path
Hi all - dog was chewing on pork bone. Supposedly only ten minutes. By the time I got it from her mouth there were some pieces falling off.

I am at the point I don’t know what to do. Doctors have ruled out everything with me. Everytime I have sex with my spouse I get UTIs .. even when we were dating the same issue. I never had this issue with other partners. I have tried it all with him.. d manosse, recommended herbals, partner and I shower before sex and I shower after, pee after sex, even did prophylactic antibiotic which ruined my gut health and caused many other issues for me. Doctors mentioned that my husband should go to the doctor for testing since I have mentioned that he has issues emptying his bladder and some other signs of prostate/bladder issues. He is refusing to rule out that he may be a factor in me having recurring UTIs. I have asked for months for him to take my health seriously and just rule out that he isn’t playing a factor.. He is coming up with any excuse to not go and is now saying it’s all me and it’s an issue with my anatomy. He doesn’t listen to me when I express concern about the impacts of all these antibiotics have on my body and the stress of always getting UTIs and dealing with the symptoms. How do I continue to deal with an unsupportive partner. It’s frustrating enough to keep getting UTIs and I don’t know the cause other than sex with my husband increases the likelihood of getting one.
Has another been in a similar situation where you only got
UTIs with a particular partner? Did they go to the doctor to get to the bottom of it or take the microgen x test ?
Looking for some advice. Sadly my maternity leave is over and I go back to work next week. I do work from home and it’s really flexible for the most part. My whole team has kids and have said they would be understanding when I came back to work etc. My husband just graduated and has a remote job he will be starting.
Any wfh parents attempt to try to handle the baby and work throughout the day? I was thinking if baby needs something dad can help etc till I get off the phone and vice versa.
My child will be 3 months and doesn’t nap much during the day (small twenty min naps) but will sleep through the night. She’s still unpredictable as far as feeding schedule during the day
I have started looking for a nanny since I don’t think we will be able to do our jobs and supervise my child once she becomes mobile.
Any wfh parents handle child care and work till the child started crawling/ walking? I’m a first time parent and don’t know what to expect. All I can do is my best and have a back up plan
Really worried about intimacy with my husband in the future. I do have IC but it has gotten better partly because I recently had a baby and haven’t had intimacy past three months. How do people have normal s*x lives?
Seems like i get uti symptoms after s*x or I actually get uti. From what I understand with IC sometimes the bladder lining is weak/ thin etc which makes you more susceptible to UTIs. I take oregano oil to help with it along with desert aloe.
What’s also weird is I had IC before I met my husband and had other partners and they NEVER gave me UTIs. I don’t get it, could he have something in his semen? All his tests come back clear so why would I get UTI’s when I sleep with him. Other than keeping up with supplements and showering before and after s*x what can I do to avoid an actual UTI and flare.
Hi all- I noticed my urgency is a lot worse at night. Any supplements or tips on how to manage? My symptoms are better than they used to be due to desert harvest aloe, l arginine , and hydroxyzine.
I’m 3 months postpartum and the weight is very slow to come off. I’m very strict with dieting and have been working out the best I can (spinning and light weights) since I have a mild prolapse from delivery. I have lost five pounds from when I left the hospital after the birth to now. I still have another 30 pounds to lose.
My thyroid is fine and I’m not breastfeeding, any other moms have a similar situation to mine where the scale wasn’t moving much then the weight started to come off faster ?
Hi all - trying to see if there’s other success stories recovering from prolapse after birth and the amount of time it took. I have a grade 1 rectocele and cystocele diagnosed at 3 weeks postpartum since I felt like I had a tampon falling out sensation. Luckily just grade 1 and have been doing pelvic floor therapy 2 times a week and excercises at home as well.I’m 10 weeks postpartum and hoping I can start working out and really just feel normal down there soon. Working out and lifting really helps my mental health and this recovery is really affecting me. Anyone else have a grade one success story where they were able to start lifting again without issues and get back to normal sex life? When did it start to feel normal down there? Really hope it’s not six months before i am back to normal
I’ve been cleared to ride the bike and lift light upper body weights but that is all at this point

At ten weeks postpartum I can lift some light upper body, and ride the bike but I haven’t been cleared to do much else.
