my man wants to go to the movie theater so bad with our baby and I will not allow to have them because I just know my baby couldn’t sit through it plus I feel like he would get scared because the movie would be so loud lol but you live and you learn don’t let it discourage you lol I don’t think any baby that age could sit through a movie on my couch let alone in a movie theater with other people lol

Find a routine that works for you and stick to it. Put him to bed at the same time everyday and wake up at the same time. My daughter’s dad used to go to the gym after work while I was at home doing all the things. When he came home I would serve dinner give her a bath put her to bed ( around 8pm) and go to the gym. He gets to relax and if she wakes up he is there. I get to have a full day with my baby and still make it to the gym. By the time I come back she is in a deep sleep. me and him would have a lil 30 min to an hour together and he would go to bed. I get another hour or two to myself to set up for the next day shower and just chill. Not saying this is the only way or the best way but it worked for us. The parenting trenches are the trenches and that’s just what it is lol it gets easier❤️

They have so much energy before bed he’s like bouncing off the walls. We put all the kids to sleep starting at 7pm to wind down and considering it’s multiple kids being put to bed takes time they all brush and get a story before bed. He’s just the only one that holds up the sleep party!I usually utilize night time to do most chores folding clothes dishes sometimes the floor. And work out. I shower at night as well. The later I’m up with him just makes my bed time wayyy later. I’m used to it. Just some nights are harder than others. We don’t catch no breaks around my house. Mommy is everyone’s favorite word in my house. I do really enjoy being with them. I’m now juicing to see if I get a pep in my step. It’s been 6 years since I’ve been to a movie and I don’t think we’ll be planning on going. Restaurants work though like Chili’s! You are brave I feel for you. When my kids were younger my kids would say what’s in your wallet?! to ppl in the grocery store. It’s from a commercial 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

When you have a great partner it’s a breeze and when you can afford a babysitter it’s a breeze. Your kids aren’t the problem.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!
