November 2021 Babies 🇬🇧

Going a bit crazy! #rant

Half term for the kids this week so it's been full on. I just feel like I'm burning out and already dreading the 6 week holiday!
Toddler goes to pre school 3 days a week term time so I can get jobs done at home but apart from that we never have baby sitters or childcare or family help.
I'm so desperate for a night off/sleep in that I just want to cry today.
What do other people do that have their kids with them all the time to stop going insane? (I have a teenager too so there's literally always someone who needs me)😂
Pic of my bean who is amazing , but exhausting !

For the exact same reason as yours ...I needed my sanity...I just found a holiday club. She is knackered this week... wish childcare was easy.

I have the opposite issue. School holidays are the only time I can get stuff done I have to spend them catching up on everything I can’t do in term time. I’d rather be at home taking care of my two than taking care of 30 others and all the work that goes with it.

he's disabled so there's no holiday clubs for him till he's 4 😭

the grass is always greener isn't it, every way is hard x

@Mel s oh yes. Sorry. I wish you could get a baby sitter for a few hours so you could just zone out.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
