Hey! Wow, moving homes is stressful just normally but I can imagine just how much you must feel is on your plate! I guess I can also be a bit of a control freak and I like planning and writing things down, but I’m finding it a bit hard to do this right now, feel a bit lost. Are there any journals/prompts/instagram that you use?

I’ll definitely look into a pampering session, I guess it’s also important not to forget about self care! It’s great that you can tell your partner about all your dreams and feelings, I hope the move goes well for you and that you’re happy in your new home!

Listen to your body, feel the emotions... its okay not to be okay and be kind to yourself. Work can be stressful, have you spoken to work about this to work out how it can be made less stressful? They should be making sure you have no stress given you're pregnant. You can journal, meditate, get yourself a massage, or just do whatever hobbies you enjoy and can do. When I feel low I go for a walk or a cold water dip, always helps me. But whatever you would have done to keep your mind happy when not pregnant, try doing pregnant xx

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. 🥺

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?

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

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? 🥲

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 🤣
