Hello mama's... today my sister gave my little a tiny piece of cake (8 months old) shortly after he started having these little spasms. They didn't bother him, he was still jumping, laughing and playing but they scared the absolute crap out of me. He's never done this before and he did it about 5 times then it compl...
Planning a 3rd party for my little one and the grandparents on her dads side are going to be on holiday so where basically asking me to make the party 2 weeks later so they could make it 👀 they only visit her once or twice a month so not like they see her alll the time anyway but I basically said no and now it’s…
I had my 20 week scan on Friday (this is my second baby) and the male doing my ultrasound was pushing and shoving on my belly in 2 different spots for ages, trying to get the baby to move his hands out of the way. The appointment went for 2 hours. The baby eventually stopped moving after so much pushing and seemed o...
My little baby girl arrived 05/05/24 after being induced and the midwife’s at my hospital wouldn’t listen to me when I told them I had to push she told me not too because the monitor said I wasn’t in labour but I kept pushing and then after being examined she told me I was fully then minutes later she arrived
Went to hospital and they sent me back home sayinf I could be in early Labour with a water infection but been home for 3 hours and the pains have got stronger closer together and more painful do I go back up to hospital ?
Hey Ladies, Everyone keeps asking me have I sorted my hospital bag and my baby going home outfit. He isn’t due until July, My Questions are: 1. Is it too soon to sort my bag out and what even goes in there? 2. Any recommendations for going home outfits for baby?
I'm 38 + 4 days. Whenever baby moves, my belly tightens, and I feel lightning crotch and then have an urge to pee. This morning, woke up to a patch of wetness on the bed and went to the ladies. Having lower abodimal pains, my lower abdomen and vulva hurts really bad. Having to breathe through them.
It’s certainly not the kick but continuous rhythm like heart pumping sort feeling that last for few mins. I’m guessing it’s baby trying to learn to breathe… do you feel it too? Not sure if I’m making sense.
I have a 9 month old baby boy , his name is Cyxx (6 like the number ) , I’m pregnant again and if it’s a girl I have a few ideas but I have no idea how to follow up with such a unique name for another boy , they’ll be super close in age so if it’s a boy his name has to be cool too 🥲😂 HELP ! I like Cy thing and I…
Just wondering if when I see my nmmidwife on Tuesday she will examine my cervix? I'll be 37+4 when I see her and I've seen some people saying they did have theirs checked at later appointments.. just want to be prepared if that is the case lol
Our surprise baby turned out to be a baby girl (our 2nd girl) Margot Florence weighed 8lb 2oz and was born on 05.05.24 in the water after an amazing birth that was only 2hr 17 from beginning to end 💖 To all the Mama's still waiting, you've got this and trust your body/instincts. It's worth every second. I cannot…
Sorry for a dumb question but I’m a first time mom who gets anxiety over everything. Currently 28 weeks and I’ve noticed that at times I see my entire belly move when baby is moving.. like not the usual kick or jab at one particular spot but it looks like an earthquake is happening inside…is that all normal?
So little story time on his arrival, I had sex late Wednesday night which I fully believe induced my labor process but didn’t know! Right after we finished I just had a horrible sleep and was “cramping” getting up to pee often than usual and could not get comfortable. Come that morning I realized these had to be min...
So I've been going through it, 9 days PP after having my baby at 25 weeks. Healing from a c section, going to the NICU everyday. Trying to still keep the house liveable and take care of my toddler. So my minds a bit scattered. Today I was driving to Walmart after the grocery store with my toddler, we're like 2 min...
Does anyone know what this is please? I have had it a few times and it goes and comes back and it’s very painful… a lump in my belly button?
Measuring around 85th percentile apparently. Just wondering if the bump growth is gonna slow or accelerate in these final weeks? 😅
