Anal sex and pregnancy

I’m 6weeks pregnant and my husband and I had sex. I had a shower just before and we went for anal sex. He put on lots of lube but he was afraid to hurt me so not actually succeeded in penetrating even though he tried. However, on his last attempt, his penis slipped and slightly entered/rubbed my vagina. I panicked and stopped the whole thing and went to have a shower straight away. Now I’m here panicking we might’ve unintentionally and by accident hurt the baby by allowing bacteria to have contact with my vagina. He said he’s not worried as his penis didn’t smell, was clean and he didn’t actually penetrated fully neither my anus or my vagina. But in theory, is it possible for bacteria to migrate all the way to the uterus? And if so, could it cause a miscarriage? When would it happen? It’s just I have a friend who’s lost a baby due to an infection caused by a bacteria (of unknown origin) at 20ws and I’ve been crying my eyes out for the stupid mistake we’ve just done…

I would say you’re probably fine however if you want to play it safe just go to your OB, and get tested for any bacterial infection. If nothing is present you’re good. If so, then they will put you on an antibiotic and everything will be fine!

The problem is I’m in the UK and we don’t even see general practitioners in pregnancy let along OB…I haven’t even been appointed a midwife.

Is there a way to make an appointment with a general practitioner anyway? Let them know your concerns and that you want to get tested? Sorry not too familiar with the medical system over there.

If you worried go to sexual health clinic. They will give you all advise and will do all tests.

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!

First time using Milton cold water sterliser…

When the 15 mins is up do you just take them out and put them straight back together?
I know it says you can leave them in the solution until use but I don’t want to do that as I have 8 bottles to sterilise and can only fit some at a time.
I have mam bottles but my microwave isn’t tall enough to fit the bigger ones in it to sterilise them🤣 didn’t have this issue with my son as previous microwave was taller🤣

Nursery settle sessions

Anyone started their settle in sessions? Was our second session today scheduled for two hours. Dropped my boy and returned after after 1 hour 45 minutes. The nursery worker, bless her, was rocking him to sleep. They said the baby was crying for 1.5 hours. Not gonna lie that worries me a lot! How are your little ones doing? Have they settled smoothly? FTM here and a very anxious one

Ready mixed formula

Best ready mixed formula for an EBF 6 months old bubba. We are going on holiday and mamma needs a drink 💃🏼

Also the difference between first and infant milk?

Nap routines

Do you guys have a strict nap routine? Up to this point I’ve been following babies cues more than anything but today he had a really long third nap so I’m currently having to try to stretch the last wake window until bedtime (last time I offered a short catnap and woke him up, her was absolutely furious and bedtime was a nightmare 😬)

He’s normally up around 6am (awake a bit earlier but I wait until he’s fussing just incase he settles), was on an average of 4 naps and bedtime at 7pm.

Today he woke from his nap at 3:20pm and I don’t think I can delay bedtime any later than 6:30 🫣

Just wondering if a stricter routine would help maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️
