First Birthday

I am a planner so I am already thinking ahead. We usually host Christmas but now that my son was born 4 days afterwards idk whether to have his birthday the 2nd weekend of December or 2nd weekend of January or just have it on his birthday since it does land on a Sunday this year. We live an hour away from our family and I am worried it’ll be a lot to have Christmas brunch and then four days later a birthday party. I mean I know after Christmas normally even I am ready for the new year so idk. Do you all know what you will do or am I asking this way too soon lol

I was just talking to my husband about this since my son was born on the 28th .. smacked in the middle of Christmas and new year as well. I’m procrastinating the idea right now 😅

my son is the day after your son’s birthday 😊 I like to plan ahead but with this I just don’t know what to do. Part of me is like don’t worry about it, whoever shows up are the real deal lol and those who don’t will just miss out. But I also don’t want him to grow up not liking his birthday like I did. Mines on the 2nd and I would always get “We will have ask Santa for that” and sometimes the old man never came through. I just don’t want my son to feel his birthday is ever less than.

My daughter's birthday is December 20th but I was thinking about having it the first weekend of December so on the 7th

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?

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

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

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
