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 š 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?

I hear you. I have an 11 month old and Im so achey and tired

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 š„²

I feel your pain! I do have anaemia which obviously doesnāt help but itās 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 donāt be hard on yourself,if you donāt want to go out donāt! If you want a walk just go for a short one and build it up,just go at your own pace āŗļø
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? Itās been toughš©µ

Looking for anyone whoās 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 heās sitting low as Iāve been feeling pressure and some aching down there. Would appreciate hearing if anyoneās had anything similar!

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 wasnāt convinced by my midwife as she checked only onceš«£

When would u tell your mum you are pregnant? If u talk everyday?

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

Iām 37 weeks with my second baby. First baby was a vaginal birth (not a good experience in honesty but thatās a story for another day!), but this baby is breech and has been for at least 10 weeks š« So Iām 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 š
