1st birthday frustrations

Hi! Maybe a bit of a rant but also need some advice.
My little boy will be one in middle of November, everything is done for his birthday I have booked and paid for everything including presents, hall, soft play etc. my partner has had no input in anything.
I’ve been asking him for MONTHS if he is going ti be taking the babies birthday off from work. Just asked him again and he said no he won’t be taking the day off. But he’s happy to take the day off at the beginning of November to come to his cake smash…so frustrating!! I wanted to take baby to the zoo just the three of us, now he said he isn’t taking the day off I said I will take him on my own then and he’s saying no don’t take him, so what he expects me to sit in the house on my own all day on the baby’s birthday?!? 🙃

Go. Take him! It’s not fair that you and ur baby can’t celebrate because he doesn’t care

Take him out you can’t be a recluse on his birthday

I am just so annoyed that he would rather take the day off for a cake smash but not his actual birthday? I don’t want him to come to the cake smash but he’s adamant!

My partners done absolutely nothing at all for my little ones birthday which is in a week. I’ve brought all presents, outfits, planned days out, making his smash cake, sorted his balloons and birthday cake.
Supposed to be going to the zoo aswell but now that’s not going to happen, luckily I am taking him out Saturday on my own. He even booked a whole week of work for it but deep down it’s to play his PlayStation and do sweet nothing!

this makes me so annoyed!! Why do they do it?! I’m now just trying to focus on giving the baby the best birthday that I can and he can do whatever he likes! Just would be nice if the desire was there on his side 😅 that’s lovely that you’re going out just you two, what are you doing? X

I’m taking him down to butlins holiday resort for the day as we have friends who work there and love and adore my little boy so he’ll have the best day!
Just annoying how men just don’t see it how we do isn’t it😢x

oh that sounds like you’ll have an absolutely brilliant day then 🥰 it really is so frustrating, even when you try to explain they still don’t seem to get it x

hide the playstation controller sorts that out lol

pointless, hed end up having a go at me😂

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
