Snagged an amazing deal on Vinted and got a doppler for £3, just wondering if you need certain gel for it?

I use off brand KY jelly. Works great 👍🏻

I just used whatever was closest to me, most of the time it was my moisturiser 🤦‍♀️😂 it worked though😂

I will say though, home Dopplers aren’t always accurate so don’t freak out if you’re unable to find the heart beat, and where little one is constantly moving you may not find it in the same place as before x

Anyone else having trouble balancing their daily activities while taking care of their baby?

My baby is 2 months old and I feel like I still cannot adjust to being a mom (first time mom)

Bad hospital experience

Has anyone else had a bad hospital experience? I feel like I was not listened to and was rushed out of the hospital. I had very bad cramps in the postpartum room and I was told it was normal and I should just take the Tylenol… We were discharged at 10pm and no one checked the car seat we even asked. My birth plan was not listened to and did not see a lactation consultant. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Epidural and Csections

Hi, I've just found out at 35 weeks that he is breech and I'm looking for people's opinions on C sections and epidurals. These are the only two things I didn't want 😩that I now might have to get.
I genuinely don't think I'm gonna let them come near me with that epidural needle.

29 weeks 6 days

Today my July baby decided to become an April baby!
She’s a good weight and a cutie!
Don’t think her big sister will like her very much as we were meant to be going to Disneyland Paris today!

C section

I've opted for a c section due to baby measuring on 94th percentile, being breech and having some medical complications. They've said it will be next Friday, I'm totally laid back so not worried. However, I'm just wondering if there's anything I need to consider? Any essentials that people would recommend for hospital bags etc? Any help appreciated!

TMI but…..

Im 4 weeks pp from my c-section and I am so horny! I know I can’t have penetration until at least 6 weeks and I don’t plan to before that. I was debating other types of stimulation but I am also terrified that any kind will hurt soo badly and I don’t want to mess up my recovery. Anyone else have this problem? What did you do to find relief?
