“No pink cloud."
Postpartum, Unfiltered
We started Postpartum Unfiltered for a simple reason - because so many parts of this phase go unsaid.
Not because they’re rare…but because no one really talks about them openly.
The loneliness. The doubt. The physical recovery that takes longer than expected. The moments where you wonder if you’re doing any of it right.
So we created a space where mums can share their experience, honestly, in their own words.
No pressure. No perfect wording. No “shoulds”.
Just real stories.
The first one that came in started with three words: "No Pink Cloud."
And that alone says a lot.
It’s about learning how to breastfeed when it doesn’t come naturally. Recovering from a c-section while needing help with almost everything. The shock of how intense postpartum contractions can be. And the quiet kind of loneliness that can sit underneath it all.
But also, about small moments of support. Friends bringing dinner. Talking things through. Hearing that what your baby is doing is normal.
And slowly finding your way through it.
That’s what this series is for. To read something and think, okay… it wasn’t just me. To feel a little less alone in it.
If you feel like sharing your story, you’re always welcome here 🤍 Here is the link.
Love,
