Hurt my stomach.

So this morning my toddler decided to jump on my belly well I was laying down.
Absolutely not his fault, He is just playing and i wasnt paying full attention.
But my word did it hurt! It brought tears to my eyes but not sure if it's because it was that painful or if I'm worried about the baby.
He jumped and it was my upper belly, above the belly button.
It should be fine right ?

Should be fine baby at the moment will be very low down pretty much in your hips still 🙂

@Megan I think so too, but like to know I'm not the only one thinking like that

My two have 15 months between them so my daughter was still really young when I was pregnant and she basically used me as her own personal soft play. I tried to redirect her as much as possible and reinforced gentle hands (or more like gentle feet/elbows/jumping 🙃😂). I had no issues. Baby is so well cushioned and protected. Super natural to be worried but I guarantee baby won’t have felt a thing. Hope you’re okay, emotions and hormones can make it all feel so much worse. I cried in the library this morning because someone else’s toddler tripped over a baby who was then hysterical and the toddlers Mum was trying to deal with her baby at the same time and I just felt overwhelmed for her even though I’ve literally never met her before. Motherhood is wild! 🤍

My toddler did the same to me a few days ago - flopped down right on my lower stomach when I wasn't expecting it so didn't brace myself. I was worried at the time but nothing concerning has happened since then so I think it's fine! They're so well protected in there especially at this early stage 😊

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩
