My boy is 4 weeks old and has started breathing like this, is it normal or do you think I should get him checked out?!

My little boy has this and I rang 111 they sent an ambulance and took us to hospital but all was okay and they said it sounded like normal newborn breathing and sent us home

Our boy started breathing funny at night, i put it down to the muggy weather as he was much better yesterday. Told myself if he got worse or it continued into daytime I'd ring 111 but he's been a lot better since!

So I find that my daughter has this when she is having a comic episode or needs a burp! But always check with a professional when it comes to breathing x

My 4 week old does this. I looked it up and I think it’s to do with their stomach being full

Trust your mama instinct if something doesn’t feel right get it checked out, best to get the reassurance because life as a mama is hard enough (but the most incredible thing) without added worry x

My health visitor said this is pretty normal for them particularly if they're laid flat after a feed. She said newborns can't clear their throat like an adult would if they had a bit of mucous. Of course always get them checked out if you feel like somethings wrong, trust your instinct

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!
