Baby chair

From what age can babies use this?
My baby has good neck control but cant yet sit without support so will end up sliding sideways. This has good support but I don’t want it to cause any physical harm or push her early than needed. Please thoughts.

Is this definitely a girl?

Had a private scan which said I’m having a girl💗 only thing is..I saw a psychic 2 days before my scan and she said that I’ll be told I’m having a girl but it will turn out to be a boy…😬

Here’s the picture of the scan… does it look like a girl or could the psychic be right?😭🤣

I have 2 boys and don’t want to get my hopes up of having a little girl

A little disappointed by the 16 weeks appointment 🙃

Was told by midwife we would listen to the heartbeat at 16 weeks and that it would be a nice appointment to bring my little one along. Told my little one about it and she was super excited and only to find out they stopped checking heartbeats at 16 weeks just a few weeks ago! 🙃 my little one luckily didn’t react to it when she told us in the appointment but the second we got to the car, she was very upset because she wanted to hear the baby’s heartbeat!!

Is it true you have to not eat 24 hours before a c section?

I had an emergency one last time so I had eaten a couple of hours before but the reason I’m worrying is that I’ve just gone 5 hours without food and genuinely got the shakes, nearly passed out, felt really sick and dizzy. I genuinely don’t think I can do 24 hours of it

Is anyone else struggling sooo much?!
Newborn and toddler and no "village". God I am struggling. Can barely keep my eyes open during the day, have no patience with the toddler which makes me so sad. Just have a constant tight chest and feel on edge. My days are non stop. When will it get the slightest bit easier! Toddler stays home everyday with me so I really dont get a minute break. I love this new life but god im struggling

‘You’ll just know when you’re in labour’

I always hear this but starting to get concerned I really won’t! I’ve had a couple of contractions over the past few days (well I believe so). Nothing too painful or strong, enough to feel and backache and diarrhoea. The normal early labour/prodomal labour signs.

However, I have struggled with very bad period pains in the past. Time off work, prescribed painkillers, a laparoscopy that found I had scar tissue connecting my bowel and uterus. I used to describe my period pains as barbed wire being tightened around my insides.

I’d be happy to ignore all my sporadic symptoms and then if it becomes super obvious I’d go in, but because I have strep b, I need to know when I am in labour to be able to go in and get the antibiotics.

Is anyone in a similar situation with really feeling like they might not know until quite late?

I’m also headstrong in the sense that unless I’m feeling sure I wouldn’t want to bother the hospital or drag my partner out of work etc in case it’s nothing…

I’m 39 weeks exactly

Mother in Law!

We told my mother in law we were pregnant in March just after 12 week scan - since then we’ve heard absolutely nothing from her. I’m so frustrated she hasn’t checked in or asked how I am. We haven’t even told her the gender due to lack of communication and she asked when we first told her if we were going to find out. Am I right being pissed off about this? 😂 At this point and if she doesn’t communicate through pregnancy I will not be announcing the birth to her
