Struggling

Is anyone else struggling with it all? Never having a peaceful night again, the relentlessness of the days? I’m so upset I can’t imagine when this gets better or ever having another baby if this is what we have to get through. Does it get better?

It does get better. I think particularly when babies start sleeping better, cause the sleep deprivation is real! The pure exhaustion of the first few weeks was making me feel delisional, honestly!
But also, if you feel like things have not improved for you at all from the first weeks, I think speaking to your hv or doctor about it might be useful. Just to make sure it's not pp depression.

I found when my first was 10 months things got alot easier.

I’m finding I still have good and bad days. I may have a run of good days then bam, I can’t stop crying and feel completely overwhelmed and hopeless! I’ve decided to see a therapist as I’m concerned it may be creeping into PPD, but even if not I think it’s good to speak to someone impartial about my feelings.
I also find getting out the house really helps. I’ve noticed the days I don’t leave the house are generally my down days xxx

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 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
