Unfortunately, I think nothing 😂 take one day at the time, give yourself goals or a list of things to do/research/organise. I find that having some short(er) term goals help me to stop the "dragging" of time - hope this helps 🙂

I hear you!! The weeks to the first scan felt like a lifetime. I think that things will start going really quickly from now though, until the last leg of the third trimester which might drag again, then before you know it we will have teenagers 😅 I'm trying to just enjoy each step for what it is (easier said than done!!). Curious to hear what others that have been through it say!

There’s actually a theory that we think that time passes more quickly each year eg. ‘This year has flown by’ because the older we get, the less things we experience for the first time, which means that monotony = time passingly seemingly quicker 🤣 so by that logic just do the same thing every day, you’ll blink and your baby will be here 😅😅

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
