Advil PM while pregnant

Listen… I questioned it but I had a headache and it’s so hard to sleep already. I took that risk. Best sleep I’ve had in a while!

Idk what u can take I heard most doctors prescribe Tylenol but I heard if pregnant it gives the child issues

tylenol is preferred for pregnancy (tylenol pm exists!)
you can also do unisom! it's a sleep aid and often prescrobed to pregnant ladies for morning sickness! so you know it's safe!

Still possible but I’ve never risked it with my last 2

The risks of Advil aren't well known before 20 weeks, but after 20 weeks they have found that it can cause problems with the baby's kidneys and their function, and it can increase the risk of heart issues if taken in the third trimester.
So please take care of you and your baby!
Tylenol is considered safe, and technically so is caffeine as long as it's only a cup, and caffeine can also help with headaches and migraines!
Edit: If the headaches continue and/or get worse, talk to your doctor because it could be really serious!

Girrrlll, ladiess how do we deal with our toddler hitting us ? Currently my head is buzzing bc my son decided to hit me in the head with a heavy ass tub of cream , but its a non stop occurrence... Last night as we were going to sleep, all quiet , randomly BAM a heavy slap that actually burned my cheek... Ive been doing gentle parenting , saying " no, its not nice " lets be gentle like this *showing how to gently caress someone s face* ... idk what to do anymore... If I can see something coming, I'll stop it before he actually hits me ...but sometimes its just rlly random.. pls help 😔😔

Formula feeding mums

I’m a formula feeding mum never tried breast feeding as I know it would over stimulate me. Does any other formula feeding mums feel judged sometimes for not breastfeeding or even trying to breast feeding?

Sleeping

How’s everyone’s baby’s sleeping? Feel like my little boy is inconsistent. He’s 10 weeks and I try to put him to bed around 6-7pm each night x

Anyone else

Anybody else get woken up by their limited edition 4 month old pterodactyl alarm clock? My son decided at 2 and 3 as well as 4 am was a great time to use his lungs.

I know kids, are just being kids…. But…..

I’m really close to my cousin she has a boy who’s 7 and my little boy is 2. We take them out on play dates but my cousins little boy is purposely not very kind to my boy.
He’s done things like when my boy is on his balance bike kick his football at the bike to try and get him to fall off and I’ve seen him do things like put his foot out as my little boy is running to make him trip up.
My cousin is very much a gentle parenting style and will never shout at him or tell him properly not to do these things?
He even got in my car yesterday and left chocolate all over the seat, water stained the seat and let wrappers all over! I feel like it’s really getting to me but I know if I say something it’ll cause bad feelings. How do I address this behaviour?

Trapped wind

My 1 month old rarely burps after a feed. I've tried different positions but he doesn't burp very often. Then he is upset because he's obviously got trapped wind and struggles to fart it out. If I push his legs up he sometimes definitely feels relief but I can't do that all night long! Any tips for burping or babies with trapped wind please?🙏
