Cycling with baby

Saw it pop up as a suggestion on wonder weeks, has anyone tried it yet? Tips please.

I used to do a bit of road biking pre conception, and I wouldn't cycle on main/busy roads but I'm thinking for country roads/lanes.

Best gear?

How old is your baby? I've been biking with mine since she was 5 weeks old ❤️❤️❤️ at this point she's 6 months and I still "wear" her on the bike. I use the lille baby all season carrier bc it has good neck support so when she falls asleep I put the neck support up (she prefers to look around when she's awake). But I'm already getting ready to put her in a bike seat once she's a bit bigger (9 months or so).

For a bike seat I want her to ride in the front, so I bought the Thule Yepp Mini.

I also heard a mom complaining about her kid's neck slopping too far forward when she fell asleep in the bike seat so I got this to help support baby's neck in bike seat https://www.sandini.de/SleepFix-Kids-BIKE-Outlast-anthracite

You can put the baby bike seat on any bike but if you're in the market for a new bike I've been looking at this https://www.gazelle.nl/bloom#pim_itemcolorcodeonergb=207%2C211%2C184&pim_itemgenderframe=Laag&color=color-ivory-white&frame=low or this http://www.bsp-fietsen.nl/fietsen/familie-fietsen/la-dolce-vita/

The main features that I think make it baby carrying friendly is: 1) step through frame, 2) more space for baby bike seat up front, 3) front handlebar locks so front bike wheel doesn't tilt from side to side when bike is parked, 4) a nice wide super stable kick stand so baby can be on bike without causing bike to tip over while parked.

That said, you can put the bike seat on any bike!

I love this question and the responses.

Thanks ladies you've all been so helpful, my little boy is 7 1/2 months now xx @Erica those were some great points to look out for, especially the bike stand, I hadn't thought x

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
