Hey x we got our boys done in Wembley! I will try and remember the name of the shop and let you know. Overall wasn't too bad. My boy didn't feel anything it was just uncomfortable for him. The first few days wernt great in pain etc but try to keep up with calpol xxx

Hey girl, I got mine done in Stoke and there were 2 options of how we wanted to do it.

1) put a ring on it and then the extra skin falls off

2) surgical procedure to remove the skin off there and then

We went with number 2 and baby was 6 weeks old - they put the baby to sleep when they did that and he was okay when he woke up until I changed his first nappy and that was so scary because he cried and his bits were so red and looked like a cherry!!

We had to slop Vaseline on his nappy for about 2 weeks which led to lots of pee and poo explosions but after that he was absolutely fine.

Gave Calpol and lots of cuddles and he was okay ☺️

It sounds like you've already made your mind up on this, but if not really give it some thought as it does reduce function and sensitivity and really isn't needed.

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!

Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷
