My two share their birthday two years apart so we’re having a joint party

We're having a party the sunday before, just with family at a local club. We weren't planning to but he loves being around people, loves music and dancing so it just made sense. On his actual birthday were spending it just him, me and dad, we'll either go for food and to soft play, or to the aquarium.

So far we've got him books, clothes, mega blocks, a mega blocks car with a lift up seat to store the blocks, a light up robot and some button/sensory toys. We've asked family to get him clothes and learning toys such as baby jigsaws, flash cards etc, things he will use throughout the year. I'm also keeping an eye out for a keepsake first birthday gift for him, maybe a bracelet, money box or music box x

His birthday is on a Saturday so we will do a day out just me baby and his dad and his party is on the Sunday.

We plan on getting him an activity table and cube, hammer bench, puzzles and books, clothes. My mums got him a little trike and my nans got him a animal hopper thing.

A little tea party in the house with close family and friends on the Sunday, his birthday is the Monday so we will have a day out just the 3 of us. We have got him new books, jigsaws, musical instruments and a singing elephant. My mam has him lots of new clothes and my mil has got him a new bubba bear weaning set

We’re doing Blackpool illuminations on her birthday, then having a family party the following weekend 🥰 just a get together with buffet food and a cake!
Presents we’ve done linkimals, Montessori book, bath toys, a scuttle bug, other little extra toys that I can’t remember tbh 😂 and also her next size car seat, I know she won’t enjoy that so much but it’s something she needs 💗

My baby is having a joint party with my nephew because they're 3 years apart but birthday is 4 days apart and we just invite the same people so to make it cheaper we've decided on a joint one, I'm making her cake and buying toys from 1 year + and 18months+ xx

I’m having a garden party at my Mum’s with family & close friends (weather permitting) just lunch buffet and Prosecco with pumpkin carving for the kids (it’s a pumpkin themed party) ❤️

We are going to the zoo as a family of 3. Friends and family can pop round later in the day and we will have buffet food. It’s her baptism the day before so majority of people will see her then. We are putting money in her account and I’ll get her the odd gift of something she needs. MIL has got her a musical instrument and FIL is getting her a ride along toy.

I decided to throw her a little party but most of the people I invited actually RSPV’d yes so I’ve had to upgrade the venue 🙈
On the actual day we’re going to tiny town in the morning and then I think we’ll go to build a bear and then see how it goes

I bought her some soft play off of marketplace as it was only £20 more than hiring some for her party.

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!
