29 weeks pregnant and not prepared at all

I'm not even sure where I want to give birth yet or who should be my birth partner.
When I was pregnant with my now 2 year old I had the nursery completed and most of the things I needed.
I still need to get all clothes and things like pram, bedding, swing moses basket etc.
It's kind of making it less exciting in the sense of nesting and getting ready for new arrival. Anyone else?

29 weeks as wel and havnt even moved into our new place . Only bought a few onesies and a next to me cot!

Me too, I'd say it's because you have done it before, you know you don't need to go mad. This is my 3rd and I'm literally buying the basics, packing a normal overnight bag and going with the flow. You can have everything planned etc and it all goes tits up so your mindset sounds normal, especially with a toddler! X

Me! 😀 30 weeks into my pregnancy - I have decided where to give birth and birth partner from quite early on, have some clothes but am still wondering about many things I had ready by this time with my eldest. Feeling a bit guilty about not paying attention to this child as much as I did to the 1st but have been reassured by friends this is how it is.

Me too! At 29 weeks with my first I had everything I think i have two outfits 🤦🏼‍♀️

29 weeks tomorrow and also super unorganised! With my now 3 year old every thing was sorted by 20 weeks, this time I have so much going on (house extension, at work full time I wasn’t with first due to covid, and having a 3 year old) I just haven’t had chance

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
