8 months exclusively breastfeeding and I have used mine every single day and still use it now 😊 I even used to take mine out with me when she was little to make feeding out and about easier as I found it so much more comfortable as helps hold baby for you 😊 I only gave the cheap white one with the stars on think it was like £10 but does the job absolutely fine!

Ahh that’s my birthday! Yes bf pillows are defo worth it! I have one upstairs and a smaller one downstairs that I also take out with me. I’m a J cup so it’s not so easy to just whip a little titty out to feed. The pillow supports me and baby

I had the exact same one with the stars.. Unfortunately, I found it a bit of a waste🫣I ended up just using an ordinary cushion or pillow & it did the job just as well👌🏾

Haven't needed our one yet for my 3 week old as we've had feeding issues and midwives have recommended a feed position that doesn't work with the pillow so I just use a cushion. You could always wait and buy one if you need it.

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

New to nub theory idea

Fourth pregnancy and only just discovered this. Any guesses?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
