Repeating

I just wanted to know if am the only one. My girl loves listening or watching a specific movie over and over again and I didn't see it as a problem till other said something. My girl right now loves watching free willy, the movie about orca my sister was like not again, and am like what's wrong? She like am annoyed by it am like am not lol. Then my mother in law was singing with my girl and she would only do it twice, the third time she would say no more is to much. I literally can watch and sing her favorites for hours. I actually don't understand why am not annoyed by the repeating movie and song. Any one else?

Struggling 🥹

In struggling with what feels like everything at the moment. I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my first baby after 3 miscarriages previously so I’m elated to finally have made it to my second trimester but I just feel like I’m failing. I’m constantly nauseous and so I can’t face eating, when I eat I’m sick 8/10, I’m struggling to drink enough water and hit my protein and just nutrition is out of the window completely.
I’ve received my bloods back from my dating scan and my PAPP-A is low and I just don’t know what I can do to fix it or make it better I just feel like I’ve already failed and my poor baby is suffering because I’m just not looking after myself 😭
Just feeling really down at the moment and wondering when I’ll ever enjoy this pregnancy I have prayed for for so long. I don’t have any friends and especially mam friends to turn to and just feeling a little lost with it all. Please tell me I’m not the only one and it will get better 🥹♥️

Exclusive breastfeeding…

What keeps you going??

I’m really not enjoying it as much as I did last time. I know it’s best & has tons of benefits but I’m sooooo tired, she’s sicky after every feed and pooing every time I feed her. Which means almost every outfit needs washing as it’s either got sick on or poo on 🙈

It just feels so much … as well as trying to carve out time with my son during the day.. last night she fed every 1.5 hours 😴😴

Hand expressing

Hi, can anyone tell me any tips or tricks for hand expressing?
I tried the other day but didn’t know if I was doing it right. I’m 37 weeks but also know that it’s possible to not get any and it doesn’t mean your milk won’t be there when baby arrives. I just wanted to hear any advice on people that maybe managed to do it as a first time mum??
I did it for a little bit the other day and managed to just get a bit of glazing over my nipple. I want to try doing it again.
Any help would be appreciated

In the 4 month trenches…

Hit 4 months yesterday and since then my LO has been fighting naps, needing the dummy constantly replaced in her mouth and is grumpy as hell.

I think this is the dreaded 4 month regression or maybe teething.

Send help 😫

🗓️ Any advice would be great 🫶🏼

Hey mamas 😊

I’m a first time mama to a beautiful baby girl (3months tomoro) and was hoping to get some insight.
My baby girl sleeps amazing but only on me, my chest and I’ve tried laying her down on her back but she wakes instantly every time. So at night it’s very challenging, even throughout the day all her naps are on me as she wakes if I put her down. My baby girl doesn’t like a swaddle, she escapes and her arms just fight it lol
