Newborn Scrunch

Hey mamas, so my baby is turning three months old this week and he still has the newborn scrunch. He was “supposed to be” due in July so he was six weeks early hence he’s not as big as a full term three month old. I suppose it’s normal for him to still have days where he scrunches up? It’s so cute tho 🥹 (low quality Snapchat video screenshot haha)

My daughter was born full term and held onto the that scrunching til she was about 4 months! She was quite colicky so I think she was also pulling her legs in from that! And my 3 month old son still does it sometimes!

my lb can get colicky too and ah thank you that’s reassuring x

that’s so good, thank you!

My baby does this too, I didn't know it was a newborn only thing... I must say my LO was also born 9 weeks premature so his adjusted age is 6 weeks so not sure he does it because he's "younger" or just a great position to be 🙃

My baby boy is nearly 4 months and still does it! He's full term x

Thank you all xxx

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!
