Night terrors

Is it a thing?
My 16 month old girl woken up screaming, crying, practically hyperventilating for 5 mins straight, calmed her eventually and went back to sleep on me for ages .. put her back down and ten mins later happened again! Now back to sleep on me .. its 1am and I'm too scared to put her back down, literally got her sleeping on my chest sitting on sofa 😟,
Is it something I gotta get use too? Or one off? Lol

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?
