Constant spitting at 12 weeks- Anyone else?

Hi everyone 😊 I’m 12 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having this constant spitting feeling—it’s like there’s always something in my throat even when I haven’t eaten or swallowed anything. It’s really uncomfortable 😩

Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me? Any tips on how to manage it would really help!

I had this for weeks during my first trimester!! The only thing that helped me was chewing gum 🤦🏽‍♀️
I was literally rolling over and spitting into an empty glass at one point it was awful 🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh god I had this for about 28 weeks it’s so annoying! It’s like an over production of saliva, I was reassured it was a good old fashioned pregnancy symptom that some women get so nothing to be done just ride it out! The midwife told me one woman used to carry a flask around with her all the time and pretend to drink but actually just spat in jt. Ugh you gotta do whatever works for you!

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Need to vent about my family im so upset

I was at my mums house with my sisters. I suddenly became very ill, they called an ambulance but no one wanted to keep my baby while I went hospital. In the end I had to tell the ambulance people I wouldn’t go with them as I have no one to watch my baby. They wer disgusted I could tell. They could hear my family saying no I can’t keep the baby I don’t want too. These are the same people who never visited me when my baby was born. I just feel so alone. In the end her dad watched her. I want to have another baby but I know no one will help keep my older baby. I just feel so shit :(

Naps times

11 month old refusing all naps, would you let them cry it out in their crib or allow them to stay awake or even try rocking them to sleep?

First time mum is this normal please?

My son is almost 3, he’s developing really well but I’ve noticed a few things where I’m like is this normal - he doesn’t like tags in his clothes, he cries if the tags are left on his clothes - he is really picky with his food, no meat - he screams so bad and throws up when he’s got to have a bath or have his hair washed - he doesn’t like getting ready in the morning etc. is this just normal for his age? Thanks x
