Newborn stage first 4 weeks seems like a distant blur

My little girl is now 2 and a half months old and it makes me sad how quickly she’s grown. Does anyone else think it seems like such a blur when our babies were tiny newborns? I struggle to remember her being that little! I feel like she was only a little newborn for what seemed 2/3 weeks and it’s so true that they aren’t little for long. I just want time to slow down 😢

I so get you. It's really sad. He was so easy then lol. Just fed and slept. My baby is so big, he's 98th centile, I feel like he was only tiny for 5 days 😢

Definitely feeling like this too, my only saving grace is that my little girl is only 9 pounds at 8 weeks so size wise she’s still my newborn. However she’s smiley, chatting, cooing and moving around like a proper baby and it’s amazing to see but also so sad 🥲

Birthday

So idk if this would be considered bd drama, but he just texted me “happy birthday” my birthday isn’t until April 20th, we’ve known each other since 2024. And I just feel a little sad that he doesn’t know my birthday. Should I appreciate that he tried? Or be upset that after all this time he still doesn’t know my birthday?

Changed due date

Anyone had their date change at 12 weeks scan?

I used my last period and also fully tracked ovulation, I had a due date Oct 10.

In my 12 week scan they said Oct 15

Now I don’t know which to use as I know the 12 week scan can place things wrong due to the tiniest millimetre off measurement

What did others go by and what was accurate?

Second baby here!

Damp pants.. can your waters go incredibly slowly lol

Or did I pee 😅

I woke up this morning with a damp patch in my undies that I noticed when I pulled my pants up after a wee.. I did smell it and it doesn’t smell like wee and I got my husband to smell (lol) and it didn’t smell like wee to him either but I’m also very hydrated...

I have sat over the toilet and nothing is dripping out of me so I think maybe I just lost a bit of wee over night or just before I noticed?
I’m 39+3 FTM

No other real symptoms of labour just heavily pregnant discomfort

Help- Can contractions feel like pressure?

I have a painful pressure pain and crampy feeling in my lower back/lower abdomen and pelvic area. It woke me up from sleep and it's too painful to sleep with it. They're coming every 3-5 mins, I'm 40+5 weeks. Is this labour? I have no idea. They're getting more painful. I'm hydrated. Thanks xx
