Not rolling yet

Is anyone else’s babies not rolling by 6 months yet?
My little boy was 6 months on the 13th and still can’t roll over either back to front or front to back in either direction.
His tummy time tolerance hasn’t been great since he was born but his head control is good so I’m not overly worried. He does try and can ‘scoot’ rather than roll but hasn’t quite grasped it yet.
I just keep seeing videos of 3-4 month old babies rolling and I’m worried he’s a bit behind 😅
From what I can see he’s meeting all ‘social milestones’ but seems a bit behind on physical such as rolling/sitting etc.
Someone please ease my anxiety 🤣🤣

My first didn't roll until she was 8m 😂

My LO was 6 months on 14th and is the same. He literally did it once, weeks ago and has never bothered since 😂

My eldest was exactly the same due to his reflux and not being able to lie down without being very sick. He's absolutely fine now 😁 Don't worry! x

Mine is nearly 6.5 months and only started rolling a few days ago but even now is just not that bothered!! She prefers being upright eg sitting up or being in her jumperoo rather than on the floor and also hates tummy time. Some babies just skip the rolling stage completely! Nothing to worry about 🙂

Thanks girls makes me feel better! I always swore before I had a baby I wouldn’t worry about ‘milestones’ but here I am 🤣 x

Yep, 6 months yesterday and zero inclination to roll, he's much more of an 'observer' - he loves to just sit/stand (with support) and watch people/things etc, just isn't motivated to roll or crawl around to get stuff yet. As you say, as long as they're making progress generally and being interactive it's not an issue at this age at all!

Same here!! 6months in the 15th 😅

Mine turned 6 months ago week ago and still not rolling 🙈 He will do it if I give him a little bit of help/start him off but wouldn't do it in his own accord! 🙈 Since he's got better sitting independently he much prefers this than lay on the playmat now, trying not to panic think he's just chilled boy!

yep my son is the same! Boys are just lazy I think. He’ll get so far then look at me to push him the rest of the way 🤣 but after hours spent on the floor practicing rolling he actually flipped himself over front to back trying to get my fluffy sock off my foot when I wasn’t looking today 😩🤣🤣 hasn’t done it again and probably won’t for a while but I feel much better that he can it’s just he can’t be arsed.
Thanks for the help girls xx

My baby was 6 months on Friday and he’s still not rolled not even tried to it all! He’s tolerance for tummy time is very low he hates it I’ve been trying with him more doing the rolling for him and when he I get him on his side he can kind of do it but not at all if I don’t help! I keep panicking I’m hoping he’s just lazy he seems a bit behind 😭x

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! 🥰

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?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

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?
