Need support

I am on the verge of taking the medicine but I also feel scared and just guilty. I keep going back and forth whether to continue this or not. I don’t know anymore 😓

Hey! Thank you so much for your time. This is actually unplanned. I took a plan b beforehand and dint work. The reasons that my husband and I want this is because we are not financially ready, I have 2 children one is 4 and 1 is 2 yrs old. My 4 year old son is also autistic, and right now it is already hard to give the attention that they both need and I feel like adding another one would make us drown. We also don’t have any help if we have another one. It is just so hard to be blanketed by guilt.

6-7 weeks right now. I actually wanted it done when I found out i was 1-2 weeks but they dont allow that early

i have all the medications now and all I need is to take them but I just go back and forth to my decisions which is so hard

thank you so much for this. You dont know how much it really helps me. I chose to take both of the pill at home because I am breastfeeding, and I read on the pamphlet not to take it but they said it is fine if I do after a few hours of taking it. And yes my husband is home with me

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
