When I gave birth to my daughter my husband was not allowed to stay overnight. So I would double check with the midwife/nurse.

Maybe check with midwife as when I had baby in December visiting was 9-9 and only 2 at a time and any of your own children

I’ve had three babies at Bolton hospital and husband isn’t allowed to stay they kick out at 9pm x

When I had my little boy in November my partner couldn’t stay overnight unless I was in active labour/in the delivery suite. On both of those wards it’s 9am-9pm only xx

If your in active labour then they can stay over

This is so sad. The most vulnerable time and they kick out your #1 support. On the flip side I’ve heard of so many women on the wards being perturbed by lumbering men nearby.

If you’re on a private room they should be able to stay.

Just had my baby January partner was kicked out immediately after c section as it was after 9pm 🙃

I have birth recently 10 weeks ago and my partner wasn't allowed to stay overnight until I was in active labour and in the delivery room the 9am to 9pm is accurate. The neonatal unit is 24 hours visiting

On a ward it’s only visiting hours, when you’re in labour they can stay (I had my sister and partner with me for the three days I was in labour)

So we are moving

So my husband and I are moving from an 3 bedroom 1 &1/2 bath apartment to a 5 bedroom 1bath house.
Well there is 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms down stairs with 1 bathroom. The house is kinda small. We have to cool with window units and heat by gas but the upstairs doesn’t have a heat source I have 2 boys and 2 girls this house would give them their own rooms but my husband is so negative. He wants them sharing rooms. But yet I’m home 24/7 with the kids he works night shift and I feel like I don’t get a say.

Also I want to get rid of my daughter’s bunk bed and get them separate beds and he doesn’t want to do that.

We are currently in our 3 bed and my kids are all in separate rooms. My youngest is in our bed my oldest daughter is in her bed and my boys are separated ones in their room the other is in the living room.

My kids are ages 9,8,7,5 I feel like my boys need their own room my daughters need to be separated also they fight constantly

Am I in the wrong for being upset

Baby slept through…

So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣

He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴

I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩

Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Don’t know what to do

My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Leaking overnight

Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.

Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Dry hair postpartum

Help! My hair is like straw.. anyone else? Anything that works to give it more hydration? Thanks!

Feeling very down

I have been having ups and downs and a lot of it stems from my marriage but today was one of the lowest points. I am a stay at home mom and I didn’t have any energy to play with my kids. I didn’t eat a single thing all day long because I didn’t have any energy appetite for anything. I can feel how low my face is and it was so hard to come up with a smile. I’m feeling extremely down and I’m about to break out in tears. I just don’t know what to do.
