My beautiful girl was born sleeping on 16/11/2024. I have a son who's not long turned 2. I also had a miscarriage in November 23 at 12 weeks. My baby girls funeral is on Tuesday. I've got 3 days left with her as the funeral directors she's at doesn't open at the weekends 😭 I'm so scared to say my final goodbye on…
Made these 6-minute carrot muffins, and my 3-year-old loved them. You can freeze them for upto a month.
If you were being induced today and were told to call at 9, you called and they said they were busy and would call you back in an hour (didn’t ask your name or anything), and it’s now been 90 minutes, would you call back or wait for them to call? My husband and I can’t agree 😂
I have my first midwife appointment today. Can anyone tell me if I get to listen to my baby’s heartbeat at the first appointment?
Went to my midwife today and mentioned that my pelvis felt sore and back ache and lots of pressure. She felt my belly and found the baby’s head quite down into my pelvis. Is this a sign labour is close? Getting my hopes up that she’s going to make an appearance soon but the midwife didn’t mention anything else. Also...
Sorry if I sound thick but had a growth scan today and the midwife didn’t tell me much other than all was ok, so I went in the chart I was told about a few weeks back to see this on there, what does it mean is this good? 😅
Not looking for anything in particular I'm just frustrated and need to vent. I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night in nearly a month, everything hurts, I can barely function and I am aware I am being a complete a**hole to everyone who has to deal with me right now. I had my last midwife appointment today and...
Hey, just wondering if anyone has some advice? I am 34 weeks tomorrow and wondering when is too late to pick your hospital to give birth at. When I was at my booking appointment I got told to think about what hospital Id like to give birth in and they would ask me at the next appointment to ask. They never did, I ...
TTC baby number 2 after a miscarriage 2 months ago, Photo taken within time frame. Period due today. It is pink in person. My only concern is it seems a little too far left?
Does anyone else baby just stop moving when dad tries to feel them moving, I’ll tell my partner that the baby’s kicking as soon as he puts his hand there she’ll stop moving, we laugh about it but I really want him to feel her moving but she won’t have any of it.
Has anyone delivered a baby that’s 10Ibs plus baby vaginally . Just had my 39 week scan and currently waiting to see a consultant and I know they will push for a c-section . I didn’t have a great experience with the c-section for my daughter so really wanted a Vbac but I want to know if it’s even a possibility…
I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and I’ve been hit with such a huge exhaustion.. everything feels incredibly hard today. I’ve been getting tireder recently but today is next level. Is my body telling me to conserve energy for labour? I’m booked for induction next week (baby has a heart condition and we have to travel a long wa...
Have any c-section mamas had dolphin stim done on their scar and if so, what were the results like for you? Just had my first session yesterday.
I’ve brought nearly everything that I think I need for baby now❤️ I like to be very organised 🥰🙈 but I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for things? as i’ve gone off of some other posts and google but is there anything that you think you never see spoken about but is a MUST for a baby? Thanks! ❤️
I had my 20 week scan today. I am a plus size lady and I’ve got Crohns Disease, Bile Acid malabsorption, PCOS, and Interstitial cystitis so I am considered high risk.
