Blocked tear duct

Anyone else’s baby suffering with gunky eye, she’s nearly 4 months now and still has it. I’m cleaning it everyday with sterile cotton balls, I tried tea bags and she was on antibiotics because it was infected not sure what else to do any suggestions?

Curious what you did with the tea bags? My boy had it till about 3/4 months too and I just kept going with the cooler boiled water and cotton pads and it totally stopped one day. My midwife said it was quite normal and as long as the eye isn’t red it should just go itself although I know it is a long time

My baby suffered with this, but it cleared up after 2 months. He had eye drops, but they were incredibly difficult to get in his eye 😅 I started using breastmilk, which worked really well!

Yes! Two days ago. I used some colostrum I had in the freezer and did a warm cotton compress and by morning it was all good x

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??
