First Birthday

Its my little girls 1st birthday next Wednesday and I feel awful that I haven't got her anything. I just can't think what to get her. I keep seeing things but I just don't know what to do. We also can't think what to do on her birthday as well. We don't want a party as each others sides of family don't get on 🙈 a day out but there's not much around our area.

Don’t worry too much about what you get or do! I’m sure she’ll love it no matter what!

My little boy got a balance bike and honestly he absolutely loves it and it’s helped his stability on his feet a crazy amount! It’ll easily last a year or two as well so a good gift!
We just took my little one to the park and then went for some lunch! Nothing major but he loved it 😊

We went to the Aquarium last week for our little one and he loved it, we came back and did presents and cake and we enjoyed it. We got a ride on car, squishy teddy and shape sorter tool box toy that he loves, some animals figures and push along cars. 😊

My baby is turning one tomorrow and we are taking him to sea life, some are cheaper than others.
For my first born I did a picnic but the weather this time of the year is not the greatest. I googled activities indoors for kids near me and got loads of options. For present I got a 4£ train he can't care less what presents he is getting he will be more interested in the cake. We always put money for their investments junior isa every birthday

My little boys literally just got doddl toddler cutlery, a book and a backpack for the childminders! We’re going to soft play with a few friends in between naps and then pizza express for dinner with one side of the family, and then going round the other side of the families the Saturday after. It’s such a hard time of year for plans I struggled to figure out what to do but Dont feel bad!! Especially not about presents, it’s literally just been Christmas and they’re so little! My son played with wrapping paper and boxes more on Christmas anyway xx

I’m the same it’s my lg’s bday on Saturday I’ve just got her a personalised bracelet . I was looking at toys but she’s hardly bothered with the toys from Xmas just adding more clutter to the house .
We are just going for a meal and soft play then having a little afternoon tea in the house the next day with my family 😊

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?
