Same age and mine isn’t rolling either! I’ve seen her do it a couple of times. I’m trying not to worry and thinking she’ll get to it in her own time. She sort of stretches and twists her body a lot but not quite rolling.

I wouldn’t worry, family has a way of working their way into your thoughts for no reason! mine only rolled once at around 4.5 months and then didn’t roll at all till 6 months. Now she’s rolling constantly from back to front but can’t go the other way 😂 tummy time really helped her and plopping things on either side of her while on her tummy to stimulate and get her to try and reach it. Tummy time also strengthens their core so they’ll be able to get comfortable in that position and rolling xx

Mine did it just before 5 months and he’s nearly 6 months and not sitting, but I see other babies sitting at this age it’s really hard to not compare but every baby does do it at different stages, try not stress to much! X

What Krupha said, but also, massaging and doing some daily exercise will get those muscles working too

Mine has rolled once or twice and hasn’t been bothered since about 3 months. I would worry. I spoke to other second time mums and said their baby never rolled but learn to crawl and walk successfully, I really wouldn’t worry too much 💕

my FIL says that i keep her in sleepsuits most of the time so she is restricted. Could that be the reason?

How is a sleepsuit restrictive? 👀

As long as it’s not actually too small (like the wrong size) it should be fine.. I honestly think in laws make stuff up to oppose us sometimes 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ how often do you give your little one floor time? Like just on a mat on the floor - u mentioned restrictive and I just remembered I kept my girl in her Moses basket a lot of the time and that was a tiny bit restrictive so maybe give them plenty of space? Xx

i don't know 😅 FIL logic? He says because closed at all ends. A trouser shirt is more free.

Avatar

ohh, i don't put her on floor at all. I thought it is hard for her and she could get injured 😶

@Evah I mean, I have a lot of snide comments in response to your FIL ideas, but I'll behave 😂

But floor time is def important, just put a thick blanket on the floor, if you find the floor too hard. Or a play mat will do too. And loads of tummy time..

Avatar

Thank you 😊 i will start the floor time

My LO is the same age and also not rolling - think they just do things in their own time 🤷‍♀️ At least that is what I tell myself 🤪

Avatar

thank you x 😊

Avatar

I mean it’s probably coincidence. But the first handful of times my lo rolled she was naked or just in a nappy.. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Avatar

My LO is the same age and is showing signs of trying to roll but hasn’t quite done it yet, yet I have a family member whose baby has been rolling since 3.5 months🤷🏼‍♀️ it was hard for me not to compare but they will do it in their own time! Watch a bluey episode called ‘the baby race’ I know it sounds silly but it had me in tears lol, they do things in their own time, they will get there xx

Avatar

haha i will give that a go as well 😄

Avatar

i am usually relaxed in that sense that she will do when she is ready but then people point out and start feeling weird

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
