1st birthday

Anyone else who's may baby is their last struggling with the 1st birthday approaching? All the 1st in the 1st yr is almost over and im really emotional over it its hard to accept my baby is going to be 1 and hes just growing up to quick, i look back at this past yr and I feel I haven't socked it all up enough is just flown by and makes me sad that the first yr is almost gone. I know there's many more to look forward to and he's got lots more first but but that's first yr is just so special I just want to hit pause!

I was talking about my little one's birthday plans and just started crying.
It's definitely cruel of nature. If you find the pause button please share it with me

I’m with you 🥺🥺 Jenson is 1 on 13th May.

I’ve just had my first day back at work today, him at nursery.

Birthday is next. I am NOT okay 😭😭

😫 I think so many of us are going to be feeling the same... goes way to quickly... I feel like I am in denial and trying not to plan her birthday because then I will have to accept it 😭 she is my first and I do have another baby due 2 weeks after her birthday... I just can't believe it has almost been a year since that day....I still cry a lot 😭

Bleeding

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on who I should contact about this.

I had my baby back in October and had the depo injection afterwards. Since giving birth, I’ve had ongoing discharge and I’m currently waiting to see a gynaecologist about it. However, I had sex last Sunday and I’ve been bleeding ever since (over a week now). I haven’t had any pain, but it’s worrying me.

I know you’re usually under the midwife for a year after birth — should I contact them about this, or has anyone else experienced something similar and can suggest who I should speak to?

I’m just not sure what to do next 😭

movement

I know its a good sign your little one is moving but omg these 3rd trimester movements are something else as soon as I wake up ove about 20 minutes to my self and about half an hour during the day to my self and then the rest of the time hes moving constantly lol never seems to sleep lol just keeping everything crossed when he enters the world hes a good sleeper lol

Labor question!

What do contractions feel like? I have a pretty high pain tolerance and am scared I won’t know right away

Baby head not engaged

I’m 38w3days and had a midwife appointment this morning where they said her head isn’t fully engaged in the pelvis yet, it’s slightly to the left.. she didn’t seem to think it’s an issue but now I’m panicking a little, is this normal for a FTM at this stage? I’ve been doing so much walking and hip circles/bouncing on ball too!

Sweeps and inductions

I told myself that I wouldnt bother having a sweep this time round but I really really really want to avoid induction. Im only 38+4 so still have time... I just cant see myself going into spontaneous labour atm 😟 anyone have any thoughts that could help?

I dont want to hear about positive induction stories as this just isnt a route im willing to go down

24 week appointment today

This is my second baby and I thought the 24/25 week appointment was for if it was your first baby? Anyone else having this appointment?
