How often do you cry/get emotional seeing how big your babies are getting?

Easily every other day for me! My littlest is 4 months old and I hold him & cry all the time! 😭 How old are your babies & how often do you so the same?

Weaker baby’s movements

Hi everyone,

I’m currently 38+6 (first pregnancy, low risk, baby measures at 70th percentile.

Over the last few days I’ve noticed my baby’s movements feel weaker and less frequent than usual (still there, just different). I’ve also been having period-like cramps, mostly at night or early morning, but otherwise I feel fine.

I went to triage and had a CTG – everything looked reassuring and I felt around 4–5 movements in 25 minutes (however they still felt weaker).

The doctor said it could be because baby is now very low, so movements feel different, but also mentioned a small risk that baby might not be 100% well. Because of that, I’ve been offered an induction.

I initially declined as I was a bit overwhelmed, but now I’m unsure what to do.

Has anyone experienced reduced/weaker movements at this stage with a normal CTG? Did you go ahead with induction or wait? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences

Boil like spots under breast

How can I get these dishes done quickly

Hi! Sorry for my grammer😮‍💨
I'm not trying make excuses but I feel like I am
I have a bad hip like pinched nerve, this started when I gave birth to my youngest, 2 years old.
I have a small kitchen, I don't know how we got so many dishes, we don't have a dish washer(I wish)
I have a big tote of dishes and two sink full and a the small counter filled with dishes,most of the dishes are easy, no scrubbing mostly required, but it's the time of standing there, the more I stand there the worse my hip hurts it flares and goes up my back slowly
I want to get them done, I want to get the house clean but every time I do clean, the next day I feel like im in so much pain I can't do anything 😭

Does this still happen ?

Its been 6 month since having my bundle of joy and my c-section is starting to hurt and feel numb again. Anyone else experiencing the same thing ?

My c section has been booked for 39+5

This seems too late? I had a horrific emergency c section and was told my chance of VBAC was low because of how badly my last labour went (failure to progress, extra large baby, a lot of complications).

I am so scared to go into labour naturally again because both me and my baby nearly died. 39+5 sounds too late to me and now I’m panicking 😢
