Anyone else’s baby not rolling yet?

My little one is 5.5 months and still isn’t rolling. Feels like eveyone else’s babies are miles ahead of him and it’s making me worried.

My baby rolled just over 5.5 months and I felt the same. However he just isn't very interested in rolling. He CAN do it but all other babies I've seen tend to roll none stop once they've cracked it, he however does not 🤣 he's happy on his back or side! I spoke to my health visitor and she reassured me that some babies bypass rolling all together or some just don't do it til later. I know it's super hard but try not to compare (easier said than done I know because I'm so guilty of this!)

I wouldn’t worry too much, all babies are different. My boy didn’t do it till around 4 and a half months, just did it one day and now does not stop. My friends baby at 6.2 months old decided to get up and walk along the furniture, she’s now almost 7 months and learned to crawl this week 🤷 😂

My little one is also exactly 5.5 months and she still doesn’t roll either from her tummy to back or back to tummy, only when I help her will she do it but she has not interest in rolling! I’m also the same as you super worried but I did ask the GP and she said some babies take time! If you ever need anyone to talk to feel free to DM as I know how it can feel hearing about other babies similar age being able to do things

Circumcision 10 months old

Hey,
Today was my child's circumcision appointment, but I stepped away and said no. I didn't dare. How was I going to have the guts to do it? I was at the clinic, and I melted and started crying so badly that I couldn't. Now, have I made the right decision? I wasn't ready

What was your experiences in getting it done in older kids?

Thanks

C-Section / More Kids?

I was told after your first time getting a c-section, all your future kids would be born that way, is it true moms? Furthermore, I thought I was going to die after that surgery and post partum , to have to go through that again even more than 2 times is scary. I wouldn’t wish this surgery on anyone! Am I alone with this thought?

Hospital bag

Packing my bag, will the hospital have towels? This is my second baby I took way too much with my first and so don’t have much space for a towel now 🫣

Obstetric appointment

Hello Ladies, has anyone on here been to one of these appointments before ? I just wonder what it is about, i tried to google it but seems like a midwife app? Just a fancier name 😉

Early scan

Hi everyone 🥰 I have a scan at the hospital on Monday where I’ll be just over 7 weeks. I gave birth to my wee boy sleeping at 23 weeks 3 years ago, as he had Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome), then we had a miscarriage in November last year. I’m feeling super anxious about the scan and am so worried that something will be wrong. Does anyone have any advice on how to not get into my own head about it all? 🥺 I am really trying to stay positive, and this time does feel different, but it’s so hard not to spiral!

On and off bleeding

So im 16 days postpartum and my bleeding was pretty minimal, and after a week id say it stopped or was extremely light but the last few days ive been bleeding on and off it will be like all of a sudden then it goes away again. Is this normal?

Any advice is appreciated. I had a vaginal birth with an epidural and had quite a few stitches.
