Night terrors and sleep paralysis

I’m starting to have really bad night terrors and I think sleep paralysis, I sleep with the baby in my room but I’m still having vivid dreams of the baby and in all of them it’s someone taking him or taunting me using him against me I guess, and I can’t speak in my dreams even though I try to and I’m just stuck there watching it, then before anything happens even though in my mind I know what was going to happen, I wake up really fast sweating and crying. But I constantly feel like what was in my dream is actually here watching me and sometimes it’s like I know something is there. I don’t know if it’s daft but I’m scared to leave the baby alone in a room when he’s asleep because I’m scared the thing will take him or something..

Alcohol after c section

When did you lot start drinking alcohol again after c section? I’m 5 weeks pp from my c section and have an event tomorrow that involves alcohol, just wondering if it’s okay to drink bit or would it be wiser to wait a little longer. Would ask my midwife but I’ve been discharged so I can no longer get in contact with her.

NHS Letters for scans

I called up and changed my scan date on the 14th because I had limited availability. I then received a letter for the original appointment, dated before the phone call. I’ve not had a new letter with the new appointment on it and it’s tomorrow. Should I be worried it’s not gone through or is it standard to not send a letter since it was confirmed on the phone? I’m in Cornwall for context.

Moving from bassinet to stroller

Hi all - when are you moving your baby from the bassinet on the pram to the stroller version/stroller pram? My little one is 17 weeks and seems to always be straining to sit up (ab workout!) and doesn't sleep in the pram, I think partially due to reflux and hating lying flat but also he seems to be staring out and fascinated by the trees and light and shadows. He'll often just cry in frustration instead! Thanks!

Triage

Does anyone have similar experiences with triage? I was seen really quickly and observations ok but I’ve been here 4 hours and they won’t let me leave without seeing a dr even though I’m all ok. I get that emergencies come in etc but they just leave you in a side room for hours? Too pregnant for this 😩

36 week midwife appointment, being sent for growth scan!?

Had my 36 week midwife appointment today and I’m being sent off for a growth scan on Sunday as she’s measuring on the 90th percentile. Should I begin to worry or just wait and see for Sunday lol 🙈
