We're trying to do it as cheaply as possible, so looking at marketplace etc for second hand things. We want to get him a learning tower for the kitchen and he's obsessed with the hoover, so a toy hoover 😂 we've also got him a blackboard/easel to give him so when he's a bit bigger he can do mark making. That's it so far...

I’ve been looking for ages for first birthday presents for my daughter! She loves sliding off the bed (and being caught) so I’m definitely getting her a slide xx

My son will be 1 on 21st December. For my daughter on her 1st birthday I just got her clothes, and a couple of toys. Nothing crazy. They don’t know and they end up with so much that I find it can be a waste of money. And it’s Christmas a few days later 🤣

I'm getting a bit stuck on what to get him for his 1st birthday as its Christmas a few weeks later and 9/10 times if I see something I want to get him ill just buy it. We have been looking at the indoor swing set as he loves the swing at the park but he's the first grandchild in the family on both sides so I'm sure he's going to get spoilt by family so I'm not stressing too much as he won't remember it.

I literally made a list tonight! It’s going to be both for Christmas and birthday but some things I wanna get for her -
Baby/toddler outdoor swing for the summer
4 in 1 trike
Activity table
Bubble machine for the bath

And some different toys. If family asks I’m staying away from clothing if possible as she’s got too many already. But a nice swimsuit maybe

No advice as I’m also clueless 😂 but our baby’s are birthday twins! 🥳 🎈

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
