Is this conjunctivitis?

Hey so we leave today for a wee caravan holiday and my toddler has woken up like this 😫 we were at soft play yesterday (bad idea I know) - I’ve cleaned her eye and it does look better but I’m panicking now incase it is conjunctivitis or if it’s just been a gunky eye?

It looks like it could be. Just pop to the chemist and get some eye drops for it.. if she’s under two say it’s for your partner but it’s all yous would get from the gp anyway :)
And just keep clean with cooled boiled water and cotton wool x

That’s deffo conjunctivitis. My daughter has had the same recently after picking it up from nursery. I’d pick up some eye drops from the chemist (they’re specific antibiotic ones for conjunctivitis), also if you decide to not put drops in. It does clear within a week usually

It doesn't look too bad so you might be able to keep it at bay with just cooled boiled water to be honest. It just depends how quickly it comes back again as to if you can keep it getting worse.

Yeah would say so. My little boy gets this constantly. I just got drops over the counter and used sterile warm water to bathe

It could be conjunctivitis but it could also be a blocked tear duct. My eyes were like this not long ago turn out to be blocked tear duct

It could be conjunctivitis but also not as our little boys eyes end up like this when he's getting or has a cold. Due to nursery he's been to doctors a couple of times and it's always just in relation to his cold.

Yes it's pink eye! Get some eye drops from the doctor and warm wash cloths to the eye. Wash her hands really well so no one gets it!

Hello everyone thank you so much for the help we didn’t have great internet whist we were away to be able to reply - she ended up being okay I just kept cleaning her eye with warm saline water and it kept it at bay thankfully ❤️

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
