I'm with you - scream crying, only happy for short period of time, wants held but not happy unless it's outward facing, still contact napping in the day.
But we have new sounds and signs of other development, so we survive😂

100% with you! Constant need to be held, can’t even nip to the loo without the world ending. At least at 4/5 weeks she could be put down for short periods of time! Fingers crossed this extremely fussy stage ends soon!

How accurate has nub theory been?

For those of you who have now found out the gender, how accurate has nub theory guesses been for you? And did any of you use ChatGPT?

My nub theory is saying girl, but my partner is leaning team green (find out on day of delivery as this is our last baby, and last chance of that kinda surprise😊). Team green sounds great in theory, but not knowing is killing me😂

Worries about mat leave

Hi ladies, I’m due to have my first baby in May and am due on mat leave within the next few weeks! I feel so nervous about mat leave as someone who loves routine and my job, has anyone else experienced these worries? I feel like when I try to explain this to people they look at me like I’m a Martian 🫠

Glucose results

I did my 1 hour fasting glucose test today and scored 70. WAYYY lower than my first. My first pregnancy I scored 135, I was close to failing. Has anyone experienced this? A significant difference in glucose results with pregnancies? Does it even mean anything? Anything to worry about?

My Dr didn’t seem worried but im still curious.

NIPT - to do it or not?

Hey girls, I am 28y.o, it’s my first pregnancy, I am 11w2d.
Just finished my antenatal scan with NHS and I opted for the combined testing for Down Syndrome etc.
I am not sure what is the difference between the NHS test and the private NIPT test? Does it make a huge difference? Is it worth doing it? Or do you think that NHS is enough?
Thanks for the advice!
