Lack of patience

Is anybody else really struggling in this heat to have any patience? Like my mood is just switching in a second from 'I can do this' to 'why can't you just f***in go to sleep?!' I've spent half an hour trying to get my little one down for a nap, sweat dripping down me, their body heat and my body heat quite frankly overheating the pair of us, to then put them down and them open their eyes immediately and smile... It makes me want to scream and I'm really trying to hold it together as I don't want them seeing me like that but it gets me so wound up. I just want a cold shower 😭

How did you get rid of your c section shelf?

Example what workouts (bonus points if you have the video links!)
What creams to help with scarring? Or just firming up the shelf

Gross: Medical question 💩

Okay I’m so sorry lol. I have an appointment coming up but wondering if there’s anything I can do in the meantime. When I go to the bathroom I wipe and wipe and wipe and it takes foreverrr to come back clean. I even use wet wipes to really make sure it’s clean. But a few hours later if I go pee I find that there’s STILL stool when I wipe. I also have this flap of skin (?) down there. No pain or anything & I did have hemorrhoids during pregnancy but this doesn’t itch. Any idea what this is? Like I said, I have an appointment coming up but this is really bothering me!!!!

BF mums introduced a dummy from day 1?

Midwife said today not to use a dummy until BF is established but I’m tempted to start fr birth ( now) any feedback?

Leaving baby during day/overnight

I saw a post on here recently where someone was saying they haven’t left their baby with anyone yet. I regularly have my parents or my partners parents have my baby for a morning or afternoon and I’ve already left him overnight twice - once for a wedding and once to go to a gig. I know I’m in a very lucky position to have both sets of grandparents live locally and that can help. But I wonder if it’s unusual that I’ve already left him a few times compared to other people?! Curious to know if anyone else has left their baby over night yet?

Exhausted

Is anyone else just exhausted, I haven’t slept longer than 4 hours in 4 months. Sometimes it feels like your doing something wrong when you hear baby’s sleeping all night

so much pain

i’m 31 weeks, this is my second baby (2 under 2) and past few days i’ve been having severe back/rib pain that doesn’t seem to get better when i lay down. it’s also soo much more difficult to breathe while im laying down as well. i know rib and back pain to some extent is super common and normal but this level of pain is unreal and i don’t remember it being like this with my first, i wasn’t nearly as uncomfortable this soon. anyone else???
