Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point šŸ™ˆ don't know how mums of multiples do it

The first year is so damn hard. I felt depleted up until a year. The doctor recommended magnesium and eating more protein. But the bone-deep exhaustion is so hard. Can you get any extra hands from a friend or relative today?

The first year is hard, but I was significantly more exhausted having my second baby at 30/31 vs when I had my daughter at 15. I'm having my last one at 33. We wanted more in my 20s but it took 4 years to have our second so we're stuck fighting our biology. I think most people hate my take on it but it is what it is 🄲

I feel your pain! I do have anaemia which obviously doesn’t help but it’s the back pain I struggle with the most! I have a 3 and 1 year old and some days can be rough,I always try and do stretches with them in the morning and late morning we all do a dance workout together I find that helps me throughout the day! Just don’t be hard on yourself,if you don’t want to go out don’t! If you want a walk just go for a short one and build it up,just go at your own pace ā˜ŗļø

Emergency C-Section

Hey mums, 20 days post emergency c section after a failed induction at 39 weeks. I experienced placental abruption and then developed sepsis after birth spent 5 days in hospital in total.
I was in so much pain and experienced a lot of trauma from the c-section including being on oxygen etc. Did anyone else experience anything similar and how did you find recovery? It’s been tough🩵

Different movement at 28 weeks

Looking for anyone who’s had a similar experience! Up until now my baby has been very active through the day with strong punches and kicks but over the past 48 hours, the movements have changed to more gentle rolls and bulges. I also think he’s sitting low as I’ve been feeling pressure and some aching down there. Would appreciate hearing if anyone’s had anything similar!

Gender reveal

Hi guys. Had my anamoly scan today. They informed it will be baby girl. But they checked once and then confirmed. But is there any chance it could be wrong?
Though I am happy to have a girl and preferred to have girl but I wasn’t convinced by my midwife as she checked only once🫣

Deep kicking

Has anyone experienced their baby kicking but it’s so low and deep it literally feels like it’s in your vagina? It’s such a strange, deep feeling unlike the feeling of the kicks in your tummy.

Looking for positive c section stories šŸ™

I’m 37 weeks with my second baby. First baby was a vaginal birth (not a good experience in honesty but that’s a story for another day!), but this baby is breech and has been for at least 10 weeks 🫠 So I’m facing the potential of needing an elective section.

I am trying to come to terms with it, but my biggest worry is the spinal. Does anyone have any positive c section stories - especially any reassurance about the spinal is welcomed šŸ™

Photo just so I don’t get lost 😊
