Postpartum fluency Hi all, looking for some community here. I’ve had a stutter my whole life, but I’ve noticed in the past 5 years or so it hasn’t weighed on me as much as it used to. I haven’t gotten over it but I have been more at peace with it. However, since giving birth 5 months ago, I’ve noticed it’s gotten so much worse. Even with people that I never used to stutter much around, like my parents or husband, I’m blocking and stuttering basically every sentence. I’m definitely no longer at peace with it. I just tried explaining baby things to our brand new nanny and could barely string a sentence together. Curious if this is a thing, postpartum stuttering. Also curious if there’s anyone else out there who can relate. Sending hugs to everyone.
