Congested snorty baby

My 6 week old has an increasingly congested nose all the time and snorts because of it. It’s clearly annoying him and wakes him and us up at night. He had a cold a couple of weeks ago but we’re back to this more dry sounding congestion and nothing really comes out with the snotsucker. We’re using saline drops but it doesn’t really do anything. Does anyone else have the same? Thinking of going to the GP but I’m not really sure what they’ll do

My daughter has been the same on and off for a few weeks. Ive taken her to the GP and he advised putting her in the bathroom when I have a shower so the steam helps her x

This might sound strange but does he have any other symptoms of a cows milk protein allergy? My daughter was the same as yours with the congestion for weeks and much worse on a night time. Blocked nose/difficulty breathing can be a symptom of CMPA. Other than a mild rash occasionally after feeding she had no other symptoms. I’ve been prescribed the prescription formula for CMPA and her blocked nose has completely cleared. Might not be an allergy but worth thinking about if it’s been weeks?xx

Had a baby 2 months ago

I had a baby 2 months ago and I still haven’t come on my period how late have people come on ?

I feel so bad 🥹

So I’m 27 weeks and I really don’t have much cravings but lately I’ve been wanting pork and beef. I have not ate both in over 8 years and yesterday I had bacon. I feel like I want to cry because now I want a pepperoni pizza 😭

What to do when water breaks?

So I was told when my water breaks wait at home till my contractions become regular, so try and prevent intervention (because I don’t want intervention, and midwife told me, once you go in with waters broken, you’re on their clock, which means if baby doesn’t come within a certain time they will try induce me ect)

What has anyone else done once their waters broke?

I’m confused

So this is my second baby yet I’m very confused, my midwife asked me today who my health visitor is, I’m 34 weeks and honestly have no clue, do I just get a call or something after the baby comes?

Also with my first my midwife came with me to give birth will I just turn up at the hospital this time and have a random person?

Positive of the week! We have our first sentence 😊

Today our 19 month old said his first sentence, we have been working on it a bit and he said it today! Feel free to share your positive of the week 💗

C section requested over induction last minute!

I was in triage today again after a midwife appointment due to high blood
pressures. It all turned out to be okay. It’s still not high enough for them to give me medication but they find higher trace of protein in my urine and they want me to go back for monitoring tomorrow. I will most likely go back everyday until my c section as I don’t want to be inducted. They have requested a c section for me for Friday but they are very busy, so it might not happen, unless my blood pressure plays up again and it will be an emergency.

I just want to find out from c section mamas how did it go for you, especially if it was a last minute request. Did they call you the day before, do I need to go in, I will ask more when I’m in the day center.
