Does a sweet 16 need to be catered? Im planning my daughters bday party. But this is getting ridiculously expensive. The space is 750. I got the decorator down to 650. Treats is 300. Her dress is 200. This is too much for me. I mean shes

16. Any other suggestions. So thats why i was legitimately going to cook and just put them in alluminum foils pans and people serve themselves. Please help. This is why i always just take her out of state for her bday. But she said she wants a bday party

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

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 😉

Do you see a line?

I can see it better in person there is definitely a faint line I just don’t know if it would be an indent

Struggling to walk/stand - 4 days post c-section

So I had my c-section on Tuesday this week. Obviously have the occasional pain if I accidentally get up too quick or twist/move wrong, which I expect. However I did also expect to be able to walk and/or stand for longer than 5 mins by now without getting an awful burning sensation coming from my scar…It gradually gets worse the longer I walk or stand and then have to sit back down to relieve the pain. I’m on the recommended painkillers and have been keeping up with taking them as and when I should.

Is this normal? I sometimes have to remind myself that I’m recovering from major abdominal surgery but I’ve seen so many people’s experiences where they’re able to go to the shops etc after only a few days, so I think I’ve given myself false promises!
I know I shouldn’t compare my experience with others but it just feels so defeating when I thought I would be able to at least go for a small walk or do more than just go to the toilet and back 🥲

Early pregnancy bump

I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and my stomach is so big when I was pregnant with my first I didn’t have a stomach or a bump until I was six months pregnant and now this was my stomach today and I’ve only ate once today I do have a cyst on my right ovary and I don’t know if maybe that’s causing this or if it’s something else or if it’s completely normal
