I would split the actual day with your child’s father like I would have one of you guys have them in the morning bring them to breakfast you know have fun and then somebody take them in the evening and then they can have birthday dinner or whatever and then have him plan his party and you plan yours. you ain’t even gotta explain to him really because if there’s already a situation he already knows.

Yea I was thinking the same. I feel sorry for my oldest, she will be hurt. But i cant pretend. He is a manipulator, a liar and there is no low he wont go to make himself look like a victim.

I know that sucks that your oldest will be hurt but at the same time she has to understand that you’re being mature by doing this you could just simply cut them off but no you’re putting your children first but at the same time having boundaries you gotta have boundaries I have a high conflict Baby mama and I tell you what I have to do the same thing and my stepson don’t like it. He actually thinks I’m the problem we just have to stick to our boundaries and our kids will figure it out. They will figure out that we were being the mature ones by staying away I give you props cause any other child’s mother would’ve just not let him be around,

I currently have a protective order against my children’s father so he cannot be around me. For their birthdays, he got to celebrate them on a day that worked with his schedule example- one child is born on the 18th and he spent the evening of the 17th with him. He had a similar arrangement for our other child

Rest in understanding when they are older and understanding better they will probably see things for what they are and some people will be held accountable, they will have questions and demand answers

Struggling after c section mentally…

Anyone else struggling to feel connected with baby?

We had a long separation, 6 weeks. I struggled with the c section at the start and still do. I didn’t actually give birth and bonding isn’t really occurring for me.

Tried to seek professional help on how I’m feeling, getting nowhere. :/

At this point.

36weeks and I am just at this point now, where I am not interested in anything or anyone, all I wanna do is lay down in my bed, not in pain or anything just can’t be asked. Anyone else? x

Does anyone have a list of the appointment you have before a C-section?

I know I have to have 2x steroid injection 24 hours apart , 48/24 hours before the section.
- Pre op bloods
- Anaesthesiologist appointment
Are there any other appointments I need to think about?

20 week scan, 2 artery umbilical cord

We have just had our 20 week scan and it was all going swimmingly until the very end! When our sonographer said they wanted to do one last check - the umbilical cord, this was shortly after saying this would be our last scan before delivery. They then got me off the bed and went on to say we'd need a growth scan at 32 weeks, contrary to what he'd just said so we questioned - he didn't seem comfortable delivering the news that we have a 2 artery umbilical cord over 3 which obviously meant we left with some anxiety! A couple of googles later and now I'm stressing about birth defects, still born and pre term risk.

Has anyone had this and what was your experience?

Private 4D Scan

We got a private scan done last Saturday and also 4D scan which was amazing to see!

Apparently the baby is measuring ahead. Lady predicts we could go a week earlier.

This will be our third baby, so I had first in 2009, second in 2023 and now third in 2026.

This baby is also a boy, previous two pregnancies were our two girls.

Just intrigued of everyone’s else story that might relate 💙

When you were told you were measuring week ahead, did you go earlier?

Periods

How did pregnancy change your periods after you’d had your baby?

I used to have very painful cramps prior to having a child and now I have no cramps but very heavy bleeding😩
