Family events

Does anyone else partner say family events and holidays are useless cause small children won’t remember them? Recently we went out to Easter for egg hunting and he said why go to these things when our children won’t remember it. Also said that he didn’t really care about holidays with us. Last Christmas was my daughter first Christmas and he didn’t get her anything, I had suggested him make her something and never did. I asked him to get me a $1 card and he said he couldn’t afford it. He always tells me to lower my expectations but how much lower do they need to go?

You don't need to lower your expectations, but you might need to consider finding someone who respects and cherishes you and your daughter.

I unbeatable the idea that the kids wont remember it, but it's good to set traditions so as the years go on and they WILL remember it, they'll have fond memories. They'll also enjoy themselves through these events, and their emotions help to grow their overall personality and demeanor. So NOT doing fun things can also take out some of that joy that get would experience

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
