i have a eufy just like the owlet it’s cheaper but i have used it since having her in nov and still use it. and when i say it helps me sleep better at night and not worrying my self all night staring up going crazy with anxiety. i will say if she is crying a lot and i go to soothe her. her heart drops low i had a scare and took her to er when it happened he explained to me there is a nerve in the bby neck when they calm down after being so upset. it’s worth it in my eyes

I fully believe this is down to your own ‘psyche’. Personally for me, as someone with health anxiety and OCD, I found it very unhelpful and anxiety inducing as I would constantly be checking, and any false alarm would give me a panic attack. I know that health professionals aren’t too keen as it can make parents too reliant and overlook visual signs of illness etc. However, I know people who have used one and loved it. I’d say maybe get one cheap from Vinted to try it out and see how you go xx

I have kept my 4 kids in my bedroom the first 6 months after they were born so I would check on them all the time so I never needed it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you have lots of worries and not enough help it’s better to have peace of mind. I’ve heard lots of great things like being able to step away from baby for a moment without feeling guilty since it shows baby’s vital signs on your phone so it’s like being in the room with them all the time. So you can do things Getting the mail, taking a quick shower, cooking for yourself, pooping.
and some trivial, Like cleaning it. I don’t think you can just wash it. But alcohol spray should do the trick every couple days, I wouldn’t wait until it gets stinky.

Gonne be honest it’s kinda not worth it but I would get it again if that makes sense. I had a lot of anxiety about SIDS and suffocation and overall it has helped me sleep a bit better. With that being said though it didn’t fit my son when he was first born and so for those few weeks it was useless. Not being able to use it made me less dependent on it and sometimes there are days where I don’t use it just because I don’t feel like it. On those days I think to myself why did I even buy it but it’s all up to you.

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭
