Plus size mummy’s

I’m a size 16-18 and feel like my bump isn’t as big as others. I know I’m being silly and just self conscious about it, I don’t like taking photos because I know other mummas look amazing and I don’t. I just feel real fat and bloated. I feel I’m just constantly comparing myself to others. This photo was 21+4, I’m now 23+6, just never feel I look good enough. Anyone else feeling like this?

First of all, the way you look shouldn’t matter though it’s fine to feel self-conscious about it nonetheless

But also, you look gorgeous. Your bump looks so cute and it suits you very well.

Hope you believe some of this! Definitely big up your underlying self-esteem, because you’re so much more than just a look, you’re a whole person and interesting in so many ways.

I think you look incredible! I felt like this and hardly took any bump pics with my first and I have definitely ended up regretting it. It's so nice to have the pics to look back on even if they are just for you x

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

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times 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! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.
