Is It Just Me?

Is it just me, or are babies these days developing in their own completely unique way and fast!!

My little one is 6 months now, and honestly it feels like every week brings something new.

Sitting up started around 4–5 months, even though tummy time has never been the favourite activity. Rolling is no problem, but the real interest now is in attempting to shuffle around and explore
Standing with support has become a whole new hobby — anything sturdy enough becomes a piece of “furniture gym equipment.”
Weaning began at 4 months, and by 5 months there was already interest in snacks labelled for 7 months and up. And despite all the movement and curiosity, sleeping in their own crib has been completely fine too.

It’s fascinating watching how different babies grow at their own pace — some rush ahead in certain areas, some take their time, and all of it is perfectly normal. They really do come with their own little blueprint.

My LO definitely needs to slow down 🤣😅

Wow that does seem like an advanced baby! Although I have no other older baby to reference, but mine has said her first word and I’m just gobsmacked 😅

It’s not been just once or babbling but a few times she’s said Dad.
Like actually called out Daaad 🥹

My LO has been similar to everything you're saying and she's 6months today 🥹 desperate to get around so is properly army crawling. Has randomly learned baby sign for milk or she's just waving weird, since I've not done much baby sign 😅
She held her head up early, probably from never lying on her back in the day 👀😅
And Bababa has come this week as well as sitting pretty independently.
Makes me anxious for the 1 year review, "yes she's been doing that since 6 months old" 🤣

Mine just screams at me and complains when he does tummy time 😂, well actually he complains all the time. He has managed to move in a circle on his tummy though

It is crazy as my LO is similar. He started to roll on his side at 4 weeks ( my eldest started at 3 weeks so wasn’t shocked).
At 2 months was able to roll tummy to back and at 4 months just all of sudden started rolling 360 around the house to get around.
At 5 months started to say baba and started to crawl.
He is now nearly 7 months and yesterday said dad (of course) and is starting to try and sit from crawling.
My 1st was the same and hit her milestones really early, but it just seems he has a new fun interest every few weeks.

Working out while pregnant!💪🏽

Hey ladies! I am currently 29.5 weeks pregnant with my second child. Although I am still making it to the gym twice a week I want to go more. My mom and friends are telling me I should be resting and should stop working out. I am a very active person and I was lifting 5 times a week prior to being pregnant. What are your opinions on this?!

Birthing plan.

What was everyone’s experience and what did you do to recover?
My first born was born by c section and it was a really bad recovery I want a natural birth and I’m so worried about the aftercare or what to do to avoid damage down there

VBAC or Planned C-Section?

I had an emergency C-section with my first at age 39. 10 hours of labor, stalled at 8cm and his heart rate kept dropping significantly. I’m now age 40 and 30 weeks pregnant. Time to decide if I’m going to try vaginal birth or just schedule the c-section. Part of me wants the traditional experience, but the other part of me is terrified and almost feels like another c-section would be the “easy way out” lol. My doctor was so quick to just suggest scheduling the c-section, but curious to hear VBAC success stories or if the recovery from a second c-section was awful or not too bad - help!
