After some advice, I’ve just found out my pregnant My son is 15 weeks old and I’m petrified For context he was an ivf baby so I’m really shocked it’s happened naturally Does anyone have some advice? I don’t know what to do? What would you do?

I’m 37 next month and this will be my 3rd( also have an 8 yr old who will be 9 when baby is due)

Hi Mums,

I have just found out how the 30 funded childcare hours need to work.. that to get the 30 hours you need to put the little one in nursery for 5 days a week. Either for half or full days.(6 0r 12 hours)

I was hoping to go back to work part time to save money. I'm so confused about what to do now.

Did anyone else have the same worries or figure out a good solution?

I can only get 15 funded hours of I work part time and less than 5 days. If I work 8 hour days part time you only get 6 hours per day paid out of 12.

On top of the sleep deprivation and baby blues it feels overwhelming.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any thoughts .

Hi Mums,

I've started to feel really anxious after following someone online who talks about childcare development called Tammy Peterson.

She talks a lot about how it can be damaging for parents to go to nursery school even after one year old. She says before 3 its important it is for children to have constant 1 on 1 care with the same person. And nursery school causes them so much stress and too much cortisol.

So many parents have to work again after one year or even much before. We don't have any family either it is just me.and his Dad that he has. I'm terrified we won't be enough for him to be happy and mentally healthy and then as he gets older. It makes us feel so fearful and hopeless at times.

Has anyone had any similar worries or watched read this kind of thing?

6w LD has in the last 3-4 day been subject to reflux consistently throwing up after every feed despite winding her, feeding her upright etc..She also had less consistent poo as she would have 1-2 day with no bowel movement and huge ones the day after. I can see she is gasy as she grunts in her sleep and we started giving her infacol for the last couple of days. However I am not sure why reflux started more recently. I don't think she has cmpa and she has been on the same formula since birth (I am combi feeding) Anyone experienced anything similar?

I’m 11 days postpartum and since day 7 I have been waking up drenched in sweat to the point I have to shower as I’m that sweaty and smelling awful. Has anyone else experienced this?
