Do you feel like you’ve got your life back yet?

Because I don’t. And I didn’t know if anyone else feels the same. I feel like my life is planned around naps and snacks and multiple nursery illnesses.

😢

I love my child to pieces but feel like when she can fully communicate any issues and no longer naps, I’ll feel a lot more relaxed as a parent.

Yes and no. I try to involve her in some of the things I enjoy. So I'm definitely in a better place than what I was, but it's all under her time really and I do feel like my needs come last in our house. It can be frustrating sometimes, but then she says stuff like "you're perfect mummy" and it makes me feel like I'm atleast doing a good job for her 😂 it can only get better 🤞🏻

No. Still BF for nap and bedtime so I can’t be apart from her much (without causing her distress which I don’t want to do). Keep reminding myself that it’s a short time in the grand scheme of things

christening/naming ceremony

did anyone have a christening or naming ceremony for their little one? what would you recommend? my boy is 2 months old so i’m not thinking right this second but i want to do something for him. i was baptised as a baby although i don’t follow a religion as of current. it will be my family and friends attending as the father isn’t involved, but that still adds up to a pretty decent turn out. what was everyone’s experiences? tell me everything!

Did any mamas get nails done before c section?

Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

Breech or Head down

How can I tell if my baby is still breech? At 31 weeks she was completely breech and I’m unsure on how to tell if she’s flipped head down or not?

Growth charts

Has anyone else not get access to the baby’s growth charts. I’m not sure if I made it up that I should have access or not.

If you do was it through an app or website.

Sorry 39 weeks and brain fog is crazy 😂
