10 amd a half months

Hi all, my baby girl seems to have plagiocephaly (from googling) and I’ve expressed concerns to friends/family who say it’ll get better as she gets older, but she’s 10.5 months now and this is a pic of what it looks like. It still looks pretty bad to me, but keen to hear opinions from you. Any of your bubbas had it to this extent and it gone without any intervention? TIA!

Where are you based? I’m in the uk and was told my babies head shape would improve. It hasn’t that much on its own and we are 4 months into his helmet treatment which is really working. Would recommend getting an appointment so you know what your options are.

hiya, thanks for your advice! I’m in the uk too, based in West London. How old was your little one when you started the helmet treatment? X

Ah I’m in south west London! Yes started treatment at 13months at London orthotics in Kingston. Felt I was fobbed off by NHS for a long time but they finally checked him last month at great ormand street. They said it was just cosmetic. He’s had the helmet for almost 4 months and is slowly improving. Will take around a year due to his age.

thanks again for your reply! Going to drop you a direct message ❤️

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!

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.

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.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
