My baby just started doing it yesterday. Shes 9.5 months. Your baby will get it eventually :) i have 2 others my oldest didnt even try to stand til a year old and my middle child was 10 months when he started. Every baby goes at their own pace :)
What you can do is try to get something she loves to play with, and while you're sitting on your couch, hold it where she would have to pull herself up to get it. It may take time but she will get it eventually :)

I remember my first baby i was always worried she was behind. But they all just go at their own pace. No worries girly. She is doing great :)

I don't really have advice to give except to say that I am in the same boat. My baby can stand up with assistance only. Sometimes she is successful standing up from a sitting position but sometimes not so successful. I am probably going to get a walker for her. She just has a bouncer and a johnny jumper (I think that is what they are called lol)

I dont think it's something u force your baby to do they will eventually get it when the time is right. Give her a little more time mama. My baby was doing that from in the bassinet that's how I knew it was time to move him to the crib but every baby learn on different time.

My son just started crawling 2 days ago and was pulling himself to his knees until today. He pulled himself up to standing position for the first time today. All our babies learn at different paces. If it would help ease the stress try looking up the ranges for each mile stone on either the baby center app or what to expect app.

Yes. Baby girl is pulling up often now that we actually are giving her a chance to be on the floor. She doesn't get as much floor time as my oldest did because we have pets now AND we are scared she will fall and hurt herself on the hardwood floors. Hopefully she isn't delayed with walking.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.
