Rolling yet?

My LO is 16 weeks and not rolling yet. We have done a couple from front to back. But not back to front. She likes to sleep on her side and gets angry she can’t get there herself.

My oldest didn’t roll until he was a lot older but I wondered what everyone else’s January babies are doing.

What week did yours start to roll?

Anyone not put the dad on the birth certificate?

Wondering the pros/cons here? I think I would like to not put the dad’s name on the certificate.

Did you get a colostrum kit from your midwife? (NHS)

I had my 36 week appointment but they didn’t discuss colostrum or the birth plan, is that normal? When do they do the birth plan with you?

Extremly sweaty at night

I am 12 days pp, breastfeeding, and every single time i wakeup i am sweaty like crazy ! My hair look like i just came out of a shower and you could waterslid on my torso ! Crazy.. anyone else ?

Fed up

Anyone else just feel fed up? My little one is 4 weeks old and is pretty intense (not her fault!) but she hates sleep, it’s a battle to get her to nap or sleep at night. Once she’s down she sleeps well, she is just very alert.

She seems to struggle with a bit of colic and potential silent reflux, so can cry quite a lot bless her. I’m alone with her 8am-6:30pm everyday and it’s just a lot. I can put her in her next to me for naps, but if I walk away for a second, she senses it and wakes up crying. It’s gotten to the point where I’m barely eating or drinking and can’t even go to the toilet to pee and given myself what I think is a UTI. I can’t bare it when she cries.

I also cannot stand the way my body looks now, I don’t recognise myself at all. I don’t even have time to brush my hair, I feel a mess. I feel like an imposter in my own body.

Then tonight, I had the first shower I’ve had in days and felt good, after spending an hour running around tidying the house quickly. Until my partner handed the baby back to me so he can sleep for work and she started screaming. I didn’t shout, but I spoke louder than usual (I’m usually very softly spoken) and said “please baby girl, that’s enough now, please” in desperation, she cried for 2 hours straight today and then on and off for the rest of the day. My partner snapped at me a little and said “shouting won’t help.”. He doesn’t have to deal with it day in and day out, but I get he’s protective over her. I didn’t even think I was shouting at all! I’m now sat here, trying to settle her, crying my eyes out feeling so awful. I feel like a terrible mum.

I’m sorry for the rant, I’m just grasping at straws and feel so alone and so guilty like I’m failing her. Please don’t tell me I’m alone in this 💔 I hope it gets easier for her and for me 🩷

How many lines can you see? 🙈

I am so confused and feel like I’ve got line eyes! My period is 4 days late (never am!) and I’ve just started spotting a little yesterday. Do you think doing a digital one would be clearer or won’t pick up hcg as well as strips?

First period since giving birth (10m pp)

In such horrible pain that I'm nauseated and feeling so exhausted. Even more exhausted than I usually am. 😢 I've always had bad periods (endometriosis), but this... THIS is even more brutal.
