Standing up along is agony. Avoid if you can.

I’ve had 2 c sections. I’ve found them both pretty easy apart from the first day or two. Second time round my first baby was only 18 months.
I just avoided picking him up unless I was sitting down. He was still in a high chair so we would have picnics on the floor in the living room while baby napped. You’ll find your way with navigating the two of them. Maybe these last few weeks try and do some activities that require sitting down with her or playing in her room so you get a bit of a rest x

Do you have help during first few weeks?
My 3 year old is still having major tantrums, it's peaked after baby was born. So my family and husband had to help with him during first few weeks. My husband was off for 5 weeks.
What helped was to also do some of toddlers routine. Like getting him dressed and story time. It helped to calm him down a bit.

I found it fine with help from my husband and keeping up with mediation :)

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Dull aches

Hello I am a FTM 37+5 weeks I had some slight pink discharge on my pad on Friday evening since then I have had a dull ache in the bottom of my tummy that just isn’t going away and dull back ache could this be the start of labour? I have the midwife Tuesday but I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this? X

Baby is nearly here and still haven’t decided on a name…
Please help!

Here are our options

Evelyn
Summer - baby will not be born in this season ( does it matter though? It’s a name not a time stamp)
Halle
Clodagh ( Irish Cloda)

Would love to hear what your favourite name is out of those
