Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

My little boy was admitted to the hospital for gastroenteritis at 3 weeks old, they then found a heart murmurs in which an ECG was done and an xray. The xray showed an enlarged cardiac silhouette. He then had an echo and no abnormalities. He’s now 3, grown out of his innocence heart murmur and has no cardiac issues since

I have a heart murmur. Never had any problems or needed any special cardiac appointments. Literally just something I know I have.

I had a heart murmur from birth. When I was little I used to have to have antibiotics before any dentist appointments as more prone to infection, I had yearly check ups with cardio and I had to be put to sleep for basic things that would have been done whilst awake to other children (like having a tooth removed). Honestly it never affected my life and the only thing it stopped me doing was joining the army when I was 18 which I’m now thankful for. I’m now pregnant and they got it checked again and it’s disappeared completely. I’ve grown out of it.
Try not to worry x

Hospital Bag?

Hey everyone! When is the right time to pack your hospital bag and what on earth do I need? I see so many different websites and advice on social media that it all gets very overwhelming. Thank you so much for any help.

Things you wish you’d do before C-Section

I’m having my section on Sunday, and trying to write a bunch of ‘self-care’ type things I want to do before hand.
Now I’m not talking the practical things like setting up changing or feeding stations etc. I’m talking things for you like shaving your legs or dying your eyebrows 😂
I know from my last section that I’m not gunna feel my best so I want to do everything I can to feel good! I’ve got a fresh haircut already!
So what are some things you did / wish you did before your c section?

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Help!

Stuck on names, I have an Ollie already.

We were set on Hugo but I don’t like any of the shortened nicknames for Hugo and don’t feel it’s as easy to say as Ollie! What do you think?
