Instead of with me and our 1 year old, is this weird ?

His birthday? Not weird at all. Your birthday or your child's? Weird.

In my opinion, yeah a grown man choosing to celebrate a birthday with friends instead of his partner and child is immature

Maybe he wants a child free birthday. Do you have childcare? Me and my husband never spend a birthday without each other but we do arrange childcare so we’re not on parent mode

Think there is a way to balance both.

His birthday, not even a little weird.
I think a birthday is a perfectly appropriate day to have a little child free self care.

I spent my birthday without anyone, first time in years without being parent and it was bliss. My husband stayed home with the kids and I went for a massage, lunch by myself, nails, haircut, shopping, coffee, bliss.

I don’t think just cause you are a parent you have to spend every single day with your family. Your birthday is for you to do what you want to do.

A birthday alone as a parent is something needed lol. If he goes out all the time with them I would feel some kind of way

My partner would probably do something with his friends for his birthday but I would also plan a dinner or a day out for us two as well.
And vice versa !

I’d probably find it odd if my husband did it, but only because he literally never has 😂 but honestly if he told me that’s what he wanted I’d say go for it! He doesn’t spend enough time with his friends, it is important.

It's his birthday he should be able to do what he wants. I'm assuming he is with you everyday and how often does he go or with his grounds. It's a treat for him to be without the kid and with their friends instead.

Did he make plans with you as well? If not, yes, weird. If he is celebrating with both, alright.

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
