Heavy toddler?!

My daughter will be 2 in a few weeks and weighs around 14kgs. She's always been in the 98th percentile for both height and weight. I'm always concerned by her weight, especially when she's with others her own age. We have only ever given her healthy foods and try hard to avoid any foods with added sugar and salt. I know I shouldn't compare but she's so much drastically heavier than other toddlers! Has anyone else gone through the same?

My LO is two in May and almost 18kg, all kids grow differently. I was big for my age until everyone else caught up - stock to feeding her healthy and just try remember others will catch up. 💕

Thank you girls 🥺 it's always been a worry and I'm relieved to hear she's not alone. She's a beautiful and busy little girl. It's so good to hear from others that its no concern

She's so gorgeous and those long beautiful legs 😍
Thank you for that. My girls dad has aboriginal heritage and that's where her heaviness comes from. Genetics play such a large role.
My daughter has the cutest and roundest pop belly. Always makes me laugh when she's finished a meal 😂

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
