I need to vent

Hello everyone I hope you’re all doing well. I need to come on here because I need to vent. So for starters, I am a worry wart and I overthink everything. Sometimes as a parent, you need to have tough skin specially, with the little things. today I took my son for his two month check up and the doctor tells me he is growing fine but she told me his heads circumference is in the 13th percentile measuring in at 38 cm. I’m freaking out a little bit. Any of you guys have the same thing happen? The doctor didn’t seem too concerned but she was perplexed at the number and said we’re just gonna watch it but he’s growing great . Now I’m confused should I worry?

I would listen to your doctor and not stress if she says he's growing great. If it ends up being a problem you can deal with it then but it sounds like it's going to be fine and you may end up worrying for nothing. Do you have any coping mechanisms for anxiety you can lean on?

Thank you. I have had tools in the past but I feel like I have been starting from ground zero after my pregnancy. I have had a lot going on with in the year. I have lost my sister (my soul) moved twice then had my beautiful blessing. So I feel like what worked before isn’t so much working now. I have to try a little harder.

Don’t worry ma! At my daughter’s 2month check up he straight up told me her head was big lol. Babies grow at different rates.

Same here, her head is 38.70cm as well! 🥴🥴🥴 not sure how to feel either! The pediatrician said is a lil bit over average, but nothing to worry… 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

My baby also has a big head

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

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?

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

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?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
