TENS machine

Anyone used one before ? Are they worth it? Looking into early labour distractions and it seems like a good idea but not 100% convinced!

I've used one in my second trimester on my sciatica pain and unsure if it's a placebo effect or not but it seemed to help

I used one as my son was back to back and all my contraction pain was in my back, it really helped.

Get a labour comb to!

I used one in the first stage of labour. It was quite useful. You can usually borrow one at the hospital

@Abbie I got a set in my hospital bag already thank you! 😅

Thanks everyone, I think I'll look into if my hospital have any or getting cheap one from amazon to try x

mine is from Amazon for about £30/£35 .. and I even bought it long time ago for back pain.. so i guess its worth buying one because you are not gonna end up using it only once.

@Adriana just got one on a amazon deal for £22 down from 35 so I saw it as a sign to get it lol thank u x

I've hired one from amazon for £20 instead of buying them as found them quite expensive and doubt I will use it again after xx

Avatar

I've rented one for 6 weeks from Babytens. £35 for 6 weeks and then you just send it back after

My good friend used one and she said it absolutely saved her. Just make sure you get a specific obstetric one, standard ones aren't right apparently, not sure why x

Avatar

yeah I just checked it.. its a good deal!

Helped me 9 years ago :)

i think it would be a good idea to try! i wish i’d had one because my early labour contractions were not a joke, unfortunately baby wanted to arrive before i’d prepared 🥲

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
