I’ve let both my babies just do it when they’re ready. There’s no timeframe on it and every baby is different. Only thing I would say is plenty time lying on their back on a play mat or something. When they’re ready they’ll start. My daughter was rolling at 3 months but my sons 4 months and only ever shown any interest once. Just going at his pace x

I’ve done all the tiktok and instagram methods and none of it has worked.
He rolled front to back for a couple of days and then stopped and he shows zero interest in rolling back to front.
He has a flat head so I’m trying to keep tummy time up but it hasn’t really changed much.
I’m now of the mindset that once he rolls I can’t leave him on his mat for a minute whilst I answer the door anymore 😂

I roll my baby in and out of Tummy time as I saw somewhere that helps them get used to the movement. Same with getting dressed I'll roll her onto her side like more so than I need and make a big song and dance about it. The last 2 days we've caught her twice on her side but she hasn't gone any further than that yet

my eldest learnt to do front to back did it twice and then didn’t roll again until she could do both ways

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

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?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
