Rolling over or sitting up

My nearly 7 month old is still unable to sit up by himself, he either leans too far forward and goes backwards.
He is also not being able to roll over yet, he will go onto his side but won't go any further.

He has never liked tummy time no matter how many times we do it, even with his favourite toys and propt up on a tummy time pillow.

Is anyone else the same boat or similar?

Any advise would be great

Yes my little boy is identical to this. I saw a consultant paediatrician the other day about something else unrelated and he wasn’t concerned whatsoever about the rolling or sitting up.

He just told me he’d do it at his own pace and told me to chill out and enjoy him.

Mine can’t sit up either yet, he’s getting quite strong, he can roll over but only in one direction and can’t roll back, he used to hate tummy time, until 4 months. As above don’t worry they will get their eventually. X

Mine sits... but will not roll. She woke us up howling once when she somehow managed to roll on her belly in the night, but that's been the only time 😅 also has always hated tummy time, which is why she immediately screamed when she ended up on her tum
And now she can sit... she won't lie down willingly at all now 🙃

Mines rolling but definitely no way near sitting! I wouldn’t be concerned, they’ll figure it out soon enough won’t they x
Mine loves tummy time if I lay on the bed or the floor on my back with him in between my legs! X

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??

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!
