Carry baby in the car seat

Have you tried using a baby carrier? That way your hands are free and baby is safe against you. I wouldn't carry the baby on a car seat as you're adding weight and realistically accidents happen and could slip out of your hands and fall

We live in a flat. Depending on babies age I usually went and put the baby upstairs either on play mat or bouncer and then came back down for the rest of my things. A little harder with a toddler now but 90% of the time my husband is home when we arrive home so he will come and help me. Worst case I leave stuff downstairs in entrance to fetch later

From new born and up to when baby can do stairs with out hands i also have dogs so going out and down or upstairs im worried and scared now with a baby on me

Can’t get on top of my own health

Guys I’m starting to get seriously annoyed about not being able to get myself fit and strong again.

I had a rocky birth, which took forever to recover from and now we just jump from illness to illness (thanks nursery germs 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️).

My daughter’s 19 months and I don’t think I’ve even had a stretch of time where I can get even remotely fit yet. I’m not talking full blow work out multiple times a week in the gym. But at the same time how are we all supposed to fight off these germs plus handle the exhaustion of sleepless nights? It’s like I don’t stand a chance. I can’t build any resilience up.

I’m constantly exhausted. I had bloods done and they all came back perfect. Deep down I know I’m just not fit or strong enough.

Any tips for moving at a micro speed back to feeling well again?

Struggling with GD

Hi ladies, any tips on how to control your diet. I’m in the process of getting layed off from work and dealing with gestational diabetes via diet control. It’s been tough since I usually crave sugar especially during stressful times.

First timer

Is it normal to say you’d like a vaginal birth with epidural but plan for c section if any complications arise or need for inductions?

Anaesthesia appointment

Hi!
Ive been given an appointment with a consultant and it just says anaesthesia appointment. Does anyone know what this could be for? Everyone I know who’s had babies recently said they never had this appointment and no ones said anything to me at any appointments.
