Did everyone get their primary school first choice this morning? 🥰

We got ours though we were undecided but all other placement preferences were withdrawn because we got our highest choice. Is that normal?

I think so, mine is the same. First place offered and all others no longer needed x

Ours was the same. Our first choice said it had offered us a place and the others said 'not offered'

I’m still waiting! Was it an email or did you log into the website?

woke up to an email but the website says the same thing the email does as well xxx

ah okay, it’s usually oversubscribed here tbf x

😭 I wonder if we can still change it after that. Might call the schools direct xx

an email!

oh no! The link we received said we can decline it but obviously then there's no guarantee where we'd end up!

this is the issue 😂 I don’t want to decline it and end up nowhere 😂😂😂 x can you believe our little babies are going to school 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹

We got ours, but I'm not ready to see him in the school uniform just yet! Where does the time go 😭

@Olivia yeah that's definitely the trouble x Absolutely not 😭😭😭 x

I've been in denial until today. He's so grown up 😭 x

🥹 I remember joining this group with a bump! Look at us now 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️xx

Ladies, if you’ve changed your mind, contact the school you want and ask to be put on the waiting list - people move and change their minds, a space might become available before September!

I hope everyone is OK 🫶 it’s an emotional day!

Hey Y'all, I just checked online and haven't received any outcome update - no emails either. Does anyone know next steps?

I’d probably wait till midday to see if it updates? Some peoples updated yesterday and some since midnight, for our city on the council website it said 9am and it was accurate xx

Thank youu 😅🙏🏻

some don’t release until this evening unfortunately it’s a bit of a waiting game today xx

Ladies , I didn’t receive any email but decided to check my spam email and I found it there . If you haven’t received it , it’s worth checking your spam email.

Ours came out at 5pm. We got our first choice.

I got the email at 7pm!

omg I would have lost my mind having to wait so long 🤣

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?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back
