Congratulations!
I just had my second! The only thing we really did was getting her involved when buying/choosing things for the baby, outfits, toys etc… and reminding her the toys were for the baby. She also helped paint the bedroom. So far she hasn’t been phased by his arrival but we just keep making sure we are giving her 1-1 time and letting her “help”, taking the wipes out for nappy changes etc…

Congratulations!
We had our second back in February, what I will say is your toddler may regress slightly in the way they act or act out more, and although it’s testing it will pass.
Try and involve your toddler without the baby becoming ‘all you do’. Try and carve time where you can just you and your toddler doing something fun.
And just take each day as it comes, savour every moment, as you are aware time is a thief and before you know it’s you’ll have 2 little one running about 💕

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
