Exhausted

I don't know how much more I can take. This kids sleep is horrendous. I haven't gotten more than 5 hours of broken sleep a night in almost 8 months. It feels like he is trying to break me. I am so utterly miserable and severely regretting having another baby

Would you be okay with this?

Your daughter is 7 and her friend is turning 7. Friend has a sleepover for her bday (so obviously you’re not there and it’s supervised by her parents).
Afterwards your daughter tells you they’re now in a relationship and they kiss often in school (since the sleepover).

I’m not questioning if you’d be ok with the gay part obvs, but for context the friends parents are wlw too

They’re not my kids but I feel like I’d want a chat with the friend’s parents to find out if anything happened in that sleepover under their supervision, or am I dramatic and it’s fine?

General anaesthetic c section

Hello. I’m 39+3 and found out today my only option for giving birth is via a general anaesthetic c section due to my spinal injury and conditions.

I’m not great with hospitals as it is and have never had surgery so I’m really anxious about the whole thing, and finding it hard to process as I wanted a natural birth. Please can you tell me your positive experiences and tips for recovery?
Thank you x

Lazy baby?

Hello! So with the recommendations regarding baby’s movements in the womb, does anyone have a lazy baby sometimes moves lots sometimes doesn’t at all? Bare in mind I have an anterior placenta so I don’t feel every kick.

I mainly feel baby when I’m on my side and she likes to kick me at my sides.

I also haven’t figured out her pattern yet as she can be active at any time of the day randomly

Is anyone else feeling like this? Have you contacted triage for reduced movements?

This is also my first baby but I will say she is getting more active so this is a positive

Anyone else's bowels absolutely f***ed?

This is TMI but oh my god. My bowels. What the hell is going on?

Had a c section 2 weeks ago and they prescribed me lactose, 15ml twice a day. Quickly realised this was way too much as I started pooping clear mucus. I obvs came off the lactulose. This lasted for 3/4 days then turned into what can only be described as poo water. Then slowly bowels got back to normal, soft but normal. Then today, I've had the most horrendously painful wind and poo has gone back to being liquid and is practically black like tar. I feel HORRENDOUS. Is anyone else suffering with this? I don't know what to do, midwives are being quote dismissive, as is the GP!

1st Birthday!!!

Hello!! I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it but would it be good to have other babies at my daughter’s first birthday party? She hasn’t been around any other babies but I think it would be fun for her to be around others around her same age. Am I only one? Is anyone near the poconos that would be willing to come to a one year olds birthday party with your little one?

Hello
