Belly button - outie

So my baby’s umbilical cord fell off yesterday and the belly button is very much out! I have my midwife appointment on Saturday so will check if everything is ok, but wondering if there is anything that can be done so it’s not out as much.
Any suggestions? What have been your experiences?

I read a headline about a woman being arrested for starting a child fight club and that got me thinking...

Do you think your kid could win in child fight club? Mine could. I think that the fight club would just be him versus all the other kids.

Baby engaged 37 weeks

I was told last week at 37 weeks that baby is fully engaged and very low down by my midwife. This is my second baby and I’ve read that second time around baby usually engages later on. My midwife said she doesn’t think she will see my at my next appt (39 weeks) as she thinks the baby will come early based on this! Does this mean labour is near? Any second time mums experienced the same and did baby come early?

Counting down the days

Is anyone counting down/wishing days away?

I feel so selfish but I can't help it, i had such a good routine with our toddler & now just signed up to start over again. Makes me feel terrible thinking like it but I cant help but wish time away to gain a routine again ☹️

Oral Thrush

My little boy has been on Nystatin for a week for oral thrush without the doctor seeing him,just from describing the symptoms. I've called them again today and have an appointment tomorrow as it hasn't cleared up, does it look like thrush or could it be something else?
