Anyone got any tips or tricks to help my baby breathe? The saline nose spray and the nose sucker combo does nothing, she is absolutely full with snot. It makes her very fussy and I can’t give her the dummy obviously bc she can’t breath through her nose but only her mouth

I find using saline regularly throughout the day, rather than just when needed, helps congestion be more manageable overall and lets mucus come out on its own a bit more too! Just cautious with the sucker as using it too often can make the inside of the nose swell and make congestion worse!
If congestion is stopping them from eating though contact the gp as they might be able to use hospital grade suckers!
I hate when they're ongested poor bubs, hope your LO feels better soon x

We do the nasal sucker and saline. Baby vapour rub for bed time on chest and feed. Baby olbus oil on a teddy nesr his next to me throughout the night and we put the humidifier on with a few drops of olbus oil in with the water to help. Has worked for us! X

Calpol do a vapour plug in and it works wonders! Pop it on half an hour before they go to bed as well as keeping up with the saline spray, sterimar baby is really good as it has a bit more pressure when spraying x
I was told that you could only have a scan every 2 weeks but I’ve got 3 in one week

I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with my second baby, i haven’t really felt much movement in this pregnancy which is abit strange, i’ve felt the odd kick or flutter but that’s all is it normal to feel like this it. I do have a scan tomorrow to check everything is okay. last pregnancy i had scans but i’ve only had about 3 in this pregnancy as i went away for 2 week so my next one is tomorrow. just want to be reassured that everything is okay because i stress myself out all the time 😩 xx

Anyone else been diagnosed? I had my glucose test and got the dreaded phone call today to say it came back abnormal. I wasn’t expecting it at all😑

Just been informed by my GP I have under active thyroid. Could be hereditary, but I’m also wondering could it be due to postpartum (almost 9 months).
Anybody experienced this? Anybody found their levels went back to normal? I really don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life.
