I would message the mum and ask first.

I’d personally ask the parent(s) hosting the party x

No, I would be afraid of judgement . Plus the beginning of a cold is still a cold and therefore contagious. My son has asthma and any viral respiratory illness can quickly become a week long ordeal. So I'd be pissed personally.

We missed out on a party last weekend and another party late last year due to this. My daughter just explained to her friend why we didn’t go because we didn’t want to get her sick and she understood. I think I was more upset we couldn’t go 🤣

You may get judged for cancelling last minute, just like you may get judged for showing up.

If your child doesn't have a fever or need paracetamol, just go or call to ask and see how they feel about it.

No I wouldn’t- honestly asking the parent hosting is just putting them in such an awkward position. Chances are they will say yes when deep down they would really rather u kept ur poorly child at home. And then poor little guy is playing around coughing all over the birthday cake and you’re on edge thinking ur being judged and u should have just left little Joey at home! It’s not worth it… trust me I’ve been there. 😅

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
