Bad diet

I’ve eaten hardly any leafy green veg my whole pregnancy and now I’m near the end I’ve gone off fish and anything healthy.

Just had a small panic that my diets been too bad the whole time I’m due soon so it’s a bit little to late but I did take my vitamins throughout and try to get 5 fruit/veg a day, fish where I could.

Anyone else just started to feel like maybe they didn’t do enough especially so close to the end 😅 just overthinking about everything now!

I just crave nothing but crap food atm I’m 36 weeks 😂

I’m 33 and I’m at that stage already I just can’t seem to eat healthy anymore 😂

Oh babes, don't be so hard on yourself!!! You've been growing a little human, as long as you ate something!! I'm sat here with a bag of sour patch kids when I literally have no room in my stomach but I need some sour in my life 😂 Your baby will take what they need from you so do worry about it and just keep yourself fed and watered the best you can until they make their appearance!! Energy is the most important thing now!! 💕

haha I know I should stop thinking about it. I’ve been obsessed with chocolate my whole pregnancy so I’ve still been getting that down me 😂😂 yeah true just need the energy and it’s hard to eat what they recommended as like is this perfect diet for 9 months x

I wouldn’t panic, my go to has been a chip butty and usually get the craving around 2/3am. Baby will be getting more than enough from what you have been eating

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
