Baby Still Not Rolling Over

My baby is almost 5 months ( by May first week ) and still hasn’t rolled over on her own. We do tummy time and she even sits with support for few seconds.Turns to her sides sometimes. But seems a little dis interested to turn over.Is this normal or should I be showing a PT ?

Sounds normal to me! My pediatrician told me that it is not uncommon for babies to not start rolling over until 6 months!

Sometimes babies are just working on something else. Sounds like she’s working hard on side lying; my baby hates that. You’re doing a great job!

All babies are different. My brother didnt start rolling over until almost 8 months and my baby is 4 months and rolls, sits, and almost crawls. If you are worried tell your doctor to see if she is being or still within the time frame

My son will be 5 months second week of May and he hasn't even tried to roll.... Not once. I put him on his tummy and he flails around some and then cries after a few minutes so I pick him up. He's grasping objects really well and putting things in and to his mouth. He is also holding his head up well, sitting pretty good, not fully unassisted or anything. He laughs and smiles too. I think by 6mths is normal so I'm trying not to worry, but I understand. It's so funny these "milestones" that make moms anxious now a days. Who even knows what I did as a baby, my mom didn't have all these pre-reqs, that's for sure.

It’ll happen when you least expect it my love did it in her sleep at first then I’d just lay her on the floor in a blanket and she’d practice on her own until one day she just did it. It definitely takes them time but I don’t think it uncommon for them to start rolling at almost five six months

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
