I suffered really bad with an ingrown nail for years before having to have surgery. Best things are cutting a little v shape on the tip of the nail to encourage it to grow away from the nail edge. Then soak in Epsom salt and warm water for about 10 mins, you can do this twice a day, just keep an eye for infection and make sure you contact your GP if it looks infected. And don’t be tempted to try and cut the nail where it’s growing down into the edge, it’ll just grow back and could cause more damage and pain! They’re painful things to manage I sympathise! 😭

Labour?

Contractions have been regular then seemed to taper off a bit. Screenshot from my app. Is this actually labour? Each contraction is very painful and im sort of trying to breathe through them but also sometimes having to moan. I'm shattered as I've not slept a wink so far tonight as its been ongoing on and off all evening/night. Should I call triage and ask to be seen? Don't want a wasted 40min journey 🙈

Successful VBAC welcome to the world!

Waters broke at 36 plus 4, after 36 hours of labour, including the most intense contractions and pushing that I thought was impossible (you’ve got this ladies!) followed being cut open and stitched back up to get her out when she was stuck, my darling daughter Loretta was born at 5 pounds 5 🩷

Second time round and still the best feeling in the world, holding your newborn for the first time 🥹🥹🥹

Head flopped backwards

Mums, has this ever happened to you?

My 9-week-old was being held upright and for a second I took my hand away from supporting his upper back/neck. He suddenly flopped backwards quite far and it really scared me. He seemed completely fine afterwards and has been acting normally.

I know babies this age still have wobbly head control, but has anyone else had a similar moment? I think I just need some reassurance 😭
