April 2026 Babies UK 🇬🇧

Hi everyone! My son and I have started cosleeping since last month, and this allow us to sleep up until 6/7am. It could go further but I notice lately that most morning it will reach a point where the pee escapes the nappy. This mostly happen on the side, since he often rolls on his side towards me. I tried changing him around midnight when I get to bed but it still happened this morning.

I have tried Aldi and Costco nappies. Is it time to try Pampers? although they’re sooo expensive 🫠 what do you use?

Does anyone else get bad ovulation pain since having kids?

Each time I ovulate on my right side, I get period-like cramps and have to take painkillers and hot water bottle. Sometimes sharp shooting pain. This happened each time I ovulated since having my first daughter. My 2nd daughter is now 5 months old and ovulation pain has started again. Been to docs in the past and they just day 'yeah, it's just ovulation pain'. 😔

Anyone else experience this?

I have been a property guardian since last year. I moved there as I couldn't afford rent elsewhere, and my husband has been living with me, although he couldn't have, and I was already pregnant but I did not know. I've been trying to contact councils etc, I'm on allowance as I have started a new job in September and didn't qualify for mat leave, and my husband is on 0 hours contract, and they keep cutting his hours, and can't find anything else. I was checking if I had endometriosis and the doctors thought that I wasn't fertile, but as soon as I stopped the pill I got pregnant. It was the best surprise I could ever imagine and I'm failing my son in all levels. We'll be homeless in 30 days, have no savings, no family close by, nothing. I'm losing my mind. We moved to this area only because the property guardian property was in this borough (Richmond) but have lived for many years in the Kingston upon Thames borough, in south West London.

After some good ear defender recommendations please! We took our little boy to ice hockey last night and used these but the loud noises kept making him jump and he couldn’t sleep so ended up completely hysterical as it was past his normal bedtime!

Is anyone else struggling with insomnia? Done nights I can't get to sleep till about midnight and then baby wakes an hour or so later... Or I manage to sleep relatively early but then wake at 3 and totally wide awake but then spend the day exhausted. Spoke to the Dr about it but they just brushed it off. It's starting to really have an impact on me now.
