C-section

Elective c section

So if you had an elective c section at arrowe park and arrived the hospital at 11am, what time did you actually have the c section? Bonus if it was for twins!

Baby Group

Has anyone else been to the Koala North West Full Circle group? ❤️

I just wanted to share it because I’ve been going with my little one and thought some other local mums might like it too!

It’s a really lovely weekly baby/toddler group where the little ones can play, sing, listen to stories and do different activities, while you can have a cuppa, have a chat and meet other parents. 🥰

What I really like about it is that it’s intergenerational, so you also get to spend time with older members of the community. It’s just so lovely!

As a new mum and an introvert, I know how daunting it can sometimes feel going to groups on your own, but I’ve found this one so enjoyable and the little ones love it too!

There are groups in Bromborough, Neston and Ellesmere Port.

So if you’ve been looking for something to try, maybe this is your sign to come along! 😊

Just to say, I’m not affiliated with Koala at all. I’ve just really enjoyed the sessions with my little one and want to share in case another mum finds it useful too. ❤️

I have an elective C-section coming up at APH, but I haven't received my date yet at 37+6. I'm feeling pretty anxious that I won't get it until right before. Has anybody got their date a few days before or something like that? Also how does having your partner in the side room with you with the ensuite work? Does he have to go elsewhere to shower? I'm nervous about him leaving me if he needs to shower etc 🥲

Motherhood

Anyone else due around Christmas/new year?

I met my group of mum friends on here when I was pregnant with my eldest and it was lovely to have company during mat leave - would love to have the same again!

Making friends

New friends

Has anyone been successful making new friends? I am beyond at the end of my tether with all this. Never did I ever think I'd have a loneliness problem in my thirties. I had my baby 2 years ago, lost friends as a result of them wanting different lives, others to divorce/breaks ups and as of this morning one of the very few friends I have in essentially losing to a controlling partner.

I have tried joining new clubs but with little success - managed to get into a fantasy book club but it's exclusively online as in person is full. Tried swim classes and yoga classes but no one ever seems to want to talk or stay.

I just didn't think being married and a parent would equal a life of no other adult friends bar my husband and it's just making me so, so miserable.

This all has been spurred on worse this morning as I found out our best friend's (male) wife purposefully told us she wasn't having a 30th birthday party, proceeded to and didn't invite us. Kids don't seem to be an issue as there were two babies there and tried to hide it despite insta photos. Can't decide whether to even call them out on it, given the friend isn't allowed to see us without her because I know it'll be an ender but at the same time not happy I'm a doormat.

If anyone has had any success, please, please share tips 🙏 I'm an insanely social person so I've no idea why this is taking so bad.
