Birthday party

Hello mamas! So, I don’t have a lot of friends…. I’m wondering what I should do for my son’s 2nd birthday I don’t work, so no coworker “friends” to invite for his 2nd birthday party. I absolutely hate that I can’t give them the parties they want because I truly don’t have any people with kids to invite. What are some other things I can do instead of a party?

My son LOVES jumping so we take him to a trampoline park during the week every other month because it isn’t as busy. You could go to the zoo or even a petting zoo…I was planning to do a petting zoo for my son’s 2nd bday party this year actually!

Hi Bree - A petting zoo would be a great idea or a day in play area

I don't really have friends either but I do birthday parties with family. They have a lot of cousins though but they dont always come to them. Doing something else is probably so much easier and less stressful though. A children's museum or an indoor playground are some ideas too.

I’m taking mine to a indoor play area since we don’t go to the park much

Have a small fun filled day with your boy. When they hit school age is when they know what they want for birthday parties and can invite friends from school. You will remember their birthdays but when they are so young they won’t remember them really.

Someone near me had a party at the local park and posted in a mom fb group for our area inviting anyone w toddlers! Just an idea if you still want a party

If not
I would go either to the science center/museum, zoo, aquarium, indoor play park and get their favorite meal

Last year we just did a family weekend. The aquarium, the zoo and a good dinner. We’ll probably do the same this birthday too

Thank y’all for all the advice!! It’s crazy I never thought about the zoo 😅 I’ve been so focused on a party that truly these ideas haven’t crossed my mind!

that’s very smart! It’s times like this I wish I had a facebook lol but I would probably use my partner’s to post about it! Probably not for my son but for when my daughter turns 6. Thank you 😊

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.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

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.

C section trauma ?

Is it a thing to be traumatised by a c section delivery? I’m 4 weeks pp after having an emergency c section. I won’t go into the ins and outs to what got me there 😂
Nothing went wrong in the surgery at all, it was just incredibly intense, overwhelming and scary, but luckily my baby was delivered safe!
However I’m finding my birth experience quite difficult to even think about and when I do, I feel a horrid gut wrenching feeling, my heart aches and I just uncontrollably cry! My body feels really alien to me, like it’s not my own and I just feel really let down.
