I knowwww same.
We are traveling outside of the US.
Hoping to have that be our bday tradition

Im doing a "fast one" race car theme! He loves crawling around pushing cars around so its fitting! Haha

Throwing a birthday party with close family.

We just had little ones first birthday celebrations with one baby group friends. I went with the theme “Birthday” and “Blue” kept it simple. A happy birthday banner and printed some Polaroids 1 from each month in a frame and some baby and adult appropriate food! Made some baby friendly cakes and stacked a couple with Greek yoghurt with a “one” topper and a single candle!

I knowww🥹 I think we are going to do a finding Nemo theme or maybe The Wild One but I’m not sure yet

We’re doing “Berry First” strawberry themed. Hosting it at grandpas house because always unsure of the weather, but I’m sure next year we will go to a splash pad park pavilion or something 🙃

We are doing Fairy First Birthday but honestly just a couple of friends and some family members that’s it. Nothing big just sensory bins for the babies so the can get messy and explore♥️

Due to be induced in May!

I have a June 15th due date but it’s looking like I’ll be induced at the end of May (a very long argument is ongoing about this with the hospital but we’ll say no more!)

This is my first baby so I’m starting to panic about pretty much everything. I’m focusing on the birthing bag first… what should I take? So far I’m thinking…

For me:

-Bra for birthing pool
-Towel
-Comfy clothes
-Slide on shoes
-Toiletries (toothbrush, moisturiser, face wipes, hair clip, hair brush)
-Long phone charger
-Medication
-Portable fan
-Tens machine
-Lucozade Sport drinks and some snacks
-Peri bottle
-Nipple cream
-Breast pads
-Maxi pads/adult nappies

For baby:

-Health record (red book)
-Colostrum
-Ready made pack of formula milk as a back up
-A couple of hats and socks
-Blanket
-Newborn and older size baby grows (long & short)
-Going home outfit
-Nappies and wipes? (Seems silly but will the hospital provide them?)

If you had an anterior placenta with first baby and posterior with 2nd, did you also notice a huge difference in movement?

I was told this pregnancy that I have posterior placenta, and I noticed the baby's movements started early and I can feel them so much more than my first pregnancy, where I had anterior. Have any other Mum's experienced the same?

Which girl name?

I tend to like names a bit more unique but not weird. I like Soraya but worried about how it’ll get pronounced. Think I like it sounding RAY best

Chocolate

When did you first give your LO chocolate?

I know the safe recommendation is from 12months.

Just curious when everyone did 😃

Bleeding

My baby is 4 months old now and me and my partner have had sex a handful of times but has anyone experienced bleeding after sex or the day after? Not sure if it’s something to be concerned about or normal. I’m not due on my period either.

2nd pregnancy after C-Section

Hi everyone, I fell pregnant at 10 months post C-Section with my 2nd (currently 5w 6d) and understand that because I fell pregnant before the 12-18m mark there can possibly be some complications.

I’ve already been contacted by a midwife and ultrasound dept to say I’ll be under fetal medicine, I just wondered if anyone else fell pregnant around 10 months after a c section and how was the pregnancy / birth? And did you have a repeat section or try VBAC?
