Is there even a point?

Now to start raspberry leaf tea? Im 40+3 had my 3rd attempt to sweep and cervix is still closed. Softer but closed. Initially wanted elective section next Friday but there's no space for the entire next week so im on a daily ctgs now and have scan booked for 42 weeks. And I am to ask daily about section availability. I walk, bounce, sex, stairs, everything to stay mobile. Im thinking to buy raspberry leaf tea. Is there a point to start drinking it today?

Feeding issues

Hi all!
My baby has been constantly crying , more so starts evening time, she’s inconsolable. I’m an over supplier and I’m not sure if she’s just getting top layer of my milk causing digestive issues. She also had tongue tie which was done 2 days ago (she’s 5 weeks)
I’m at a loss, I’m so unhappy with my breast feeding journey so far, ay one point I’m crying so much my husband looked at me like I need to be sectioned. It seems silly to stop feeding if I have plenty of milk but I feel like it’s causing a lot of issues for my baby, tongue tie didn’t help either

What do I do? Do I end my bf journey here for my sanity and fit her as she may not be getting the bottom layer of my milk
I’m just drowning her with my let downs and the watery bit of my milk

(I don’t want to pump before I feed every time to get rid of some, it’s exhausting enough)

Inexpensive full size mattress suggestions

So we are in the “I want to sleep with mommy” phase so I end up sleeping half the night in my daughters room so she doesn’t wake up daddy. It’s fine, but her mattress is sooooo uncomfortable it’s not even funny. I wake up and everything hurts (which might be why she won’t sleep through the night anymore). Do yall have any mattress suggestions?

Universal credits appointment

My boy has just turned 16 months, and already UC are starting to book 3 monthly calls with me with regards to work. My 1st call was 3 months ago , and I had to upload my CV.

I thought they didn't expect you to start looking for work until your child was 3 year old?

I've never been on UC before so if anyone can give me some more info please

Night time nappy leaking

What is everyone doing about changing baby through the night? My boy has started doing longer stretches of sleep (6-7 hours) before waking for his night feeds. Obviously I change him then but there have been a few leaking incidents. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I don't want to wake him to change him if he's sleeping.

MUMS WHO CO-SLEEP AND HAVE A SEX LIFE

do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice
