Dairy free birthday cake? CMPA

Could anyone recommend a dairy free birthday cake? I was hoping for something plain like victoria sponge style that I could just decorate myself. But I don't know if that's a possibility as DF.. I've seen one option in Asda, but it was sponge cake covered in sheet icing and stars..

I was going to suggest Asda, could you peel off the icing and redecorate? Depends how big you want as well, M&S do a plant kitchen Victoria sponge, but it’s a small one. If you’re ok at baking though, just do a normal recipe and use a vegan butter/spread, that’s what I’ll do for my DF baby :)

maybe! I might buy one ahead of time and test taking the icing off to see how it turns out. I think it's pretty small, serves approx 10 people. Maybe I could get 2 and try to layer them on top to make it 2 tier, then it would also serve more.. I'm awful at baking otherwise I'd be up for that, but I've never made a successful cake before haha

Would you be willing to bake a cake? It's super easy, just swap butter with dairy free spread.

Hey the Victoria sponge cakes mixes in Tesco are dairy free- only add egg and water, tastes lovely aswell! My sons dairy free so I’m doing him a Victoria sponge cake-

The betty Croker vanilla buttercream doesn’t contain dairy and the Tesco vanilla flavour frosting is vegan☺️

^^ that’s obviously if you want to bake one but seems like a cheaper option then getting one made x

ooh I'll have to give it a go! Thank you x

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!

Boy or girl🩷💙
