eye infection?

does this look like an eye infection is about to start? my baby is 6 weeks old and seems to keep having eye boogers from his left eye and im not sure if it’s normal eye boogers from sleeping or about to be an eye infection. im about to take him to see his peds so she would be able to tell me as well but what to do u moms think?

If the inside is nice and white it could be a tear duct blockage rather than an infection. My LO has it

My LO has this too and is almost 7 weeks..he's had it since he was born and they also said blocked tear duct and that it will eventually clear on its own. If your breastfeeding you can put some of your milk in it each day they also told me

Could be a clogged tear duct my baby is 7 weeks and I have the same problem warm washcloths and massaging the tear duct area if that doesn’t work then I would take him to the ped

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!
