My little guy had surgery today 🥺😭 he had a buried penis so they repaired that and did his circumcision.. this mama was a nervous wreck while waiting for him this morning but he is doing great! Was so out of it after that the sweet boy fell asleep holding his toy while being transferred to discharge. But we are home and doing great! Also how cute are their little baby gown 🥹

Omg how scary, so glad he is okay!!!

Poor baby! Glad he’s doing well.

My baby had 2 surgeries under the age of 3 months I’m glad ur baby is ok. I know what surgery and being in the hospital can do to a mama it feels like ur the only mom in the world who’s going thru it with a baby ur not alone !

so when we went in to the urologist when he was 8weeks to the the circumcision they noticed the skin was tight one the under side of the shaft connecting it to his ball sack so just by that they knew they wouldn’t be able to give him a normal circumcision so we had to come back when he turned 5m at that appointment the main doctor took a look at him and knew it was buried.. I had my suspicions bc it was just loose skin unless I pushed on the surrounding area and that’s when the shaft actually appeared (or when he had a little boner) so I googled lol so I wasn’t surprised when they told me that in the office.. today after the surgery the doctor did state that he will have the stitches for the circumcision and an additional two for the repair.. he said if didn’t do those extra two stitches that the skin would go back over the head like he never got the circumcision… my advice is bring it up with the pediatrician and see if they can give you a referral to a urologist

🙏🏼❤️❤️

I understand my son had to have surgery for his circumcision and penile tortion at 11 months 2 years ago I was more nervous than he was lol but I’m glad your lil one is good sending all the healing and loving vibes 💙

I hope he doing ok

Much love 💕

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago
