Birthday party or not

Family is pressurising us to have a birthday party but we really don’t see the point, no one will get to spend quality time with Time with the little one so planned to just have a nice day out with the three of us. Interested to see if parties for one year olds are the norm?

I feel you - I really didnt want to do anything but the grandparents invited themselves over (live in different countries) so now we are kind of forced to. We will just go to a nearby farm that has a cafe, that way the kid will enjoy it and we can all have a cake and a coffee so the grandparents will feel like its special 🤷🏽‍♀️ the most important thing for me was to do something my baby will actually enjoy and not cater to the family, and this felt like a good compromise. We will likely also invite a few people who have kids and then itll be nice for them and the adults 🤷🏽‍♀️ i wouldnt do an actually party though, quality time is the best thing ❤️

We’re having a bbq for people to pop in and out, not a massive thing but will have some banners and cupcakes

We are just having a picnic at home on the Saturday with grandparents and uncles (as not got any Aunties). Then when his actual birthday on the monday having a family day just 3 of us.

C-Section vs Vaginal Birth

Hello! I’m a first time mum to a 5 month old. I had an instrumental vaginal delivery. My preference was to avoid c-section if possible due to the recovery time, but of course would have accepted it if it was needed for any emergency reasons. Thankfully, I didn’t need a c-section.

Are any mums who had an elective c-section able to share why? This is a no judgement zone, I’m just curious is all! 🥰

4/5 engaged

This probably sounds so stupid but I looked on badger notes this afternoon after having an appointment this morning and it says baby is 4/5 engaged, can that mean labour is near? This is my second baby

Induction experience

Hello!

I hope you are all well,

I was diagnosed with GD at 36 weeks and my baby girl is measuring small. They told me I need to be induced in the next weeks

I’m feeling quite overwhelmed as this is our first baby and they gave me so much information.

Anyone has a similar experience or a good/ positive experience about induction please?😊

Thank you :)
