Leaving baby in the car

Would you leave your baby locked in the car whilst you fill up with petrol and then go and pay in the shop for the petrol? Like is that allowed? I don’t have an option to to pay at the pump where I live you have to go inside, but I don’t want to get her out the car to then go in to pay to then bring her back out to put her back in the car

No chance, I’d take my son every time just in case. Every time something has ever happened to a baby in the car I can guarantee their parent has always thought ‘they’ll be fine I’ll only be gone a second’.

I have done!

Absolutely not. Their safety comes before convenience.

Just curious, do you take them with you in the car seat? Or carry them?

I have but I tend to go to quieter smaller petrol stations and would be near the kiosk anyway. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if there was a long queue. That said I tried to avoid putting petrol in when I had them in the car.

Well mines 4 months. She screams blue murder when you’re getting her in or out the seat.
It’s not just about convenience. It’s about not disturbing her or causing a meltdown for the sake of 30 seconds to pay. The car seat is so heavy to manage on its own.

C-Sections

Im curious for those who opted into c-sections why? Was there any benifits you found or do you wish you didnt ? (Not speaking about advisory ones due to babys or mothers health or emergency ones as i understand them)

Pains in early pregnancy

I just found out I’m pregnant ( maybe I’m between 3/4 weeks) and about 2 weeks ago I had this awful pain which made me buckle over which now I’m thinking was implantation. But the last 3 days I’ve had worse pains very similar to it. It kinda of feels like I’ve a cyst bust or twist alongside extreme period pains…
I’m gonna ring the gp in the morning but I’m not sure if I should ring the EPU too?

Groin/Lower back pain

Has anybody called triage about this? If so what have they said?

I’m in agony every day to a point I cry because of the pain.. I have 2 weeks left till my C section and I’m not sure I can do much more, I’ve tried pillows under legs,Belly, bum, thighs, and yet no relief, I’m finding it hard to walk and I can’t sleep due to being uncomfortable,

I get shooting pains down my back and bum and lightening crutch..

I’m becoming so weak also due to lack of sleep and movement.. I just don’t know what else to do🫩🤦🏻‍♀️
