Almost 6 months, not rolling yet.

My bubba will be 6 months next week, and he’s got no intention to roll. He started rolling from him tummy to back at 4 months, and then stopped doing that. He loves tummy time and has started trying to push himself ahead to grab toys. But when he’s tired he just gives up and puts his head down. Starts screaming if we don’t help him on his back. No signs of wanting to roll on to his tummy by himself.

How are your babies doing? Any tips to encourage him to roll?

When did your baby start rolling?

my baby started rolling out of nowhere, she hated tummy time and it started about a week ago and i just wish it wasnt so soon she rolls onto her tummy and then screams because she doesnt know how to roll back so i'm always having to put her back on her back. but every baby is different but what we did was just lay her on a flat surface and let her explore and she just figured it out.

My baby turned 6 months 2 days ago and literally started rolling 2 day ago😂

My baby is 5 months can roll from back to front but cannot figure out how to get back again, she gets v frustrated but does it over and over again 😅😂

Mine didn’t start confidently rolling until a few days after she started sitting unaided (about 3 weeks ago). My older daughter couldn’t consistently roll at this age I don’t think.

Try not to stress too much, some babies don’t roll till much later and it’s totally normal, and some don’t learn at all and just go straight to crawling! I think anywhere from 5/6 months onwards it ‘normal’ but it’s definitely one of the least important skills in my opinion 😅 i know that’s easy to say though so keep what you’re doing and they’ll get there! Both my children have basically rolled to get something they REALLY want - not toys they have everyday but something they’re intrigued by like my phone or the remote control. Also there is a clacky crocodile which both mine have been obsessed with to help with tummy time - like the link below but i got it on Vinted:

Staying home means watching this all day with no break — toddler keeps hurting the baby 😭

There is no clocking out. no break from watching it happen. I am home all day managing two kids where one keeps going for the other and I have nothing left by the end of the day. the love is completely there. so is the exhaustion. anyone else carrying this? 💙

First Father's day

Ladies...what are you getting for his first father's day? Ideas please. Trying to plan in advance because my memory is utter shite right now 😅

Hi ! So i was told i had complete placenta previa since the beginning of my pregnancy . My most recent scan said it is now low lying at 28w5days? Ive been having alot of anxiety just playing the guessing game.

Im just one of those people that need to know the plan and hate just wondering lol . Has anyone else experienced the same thing ? Does it move ? Im currently 31 weeks . And have my check up/follow up from that most recent scan tomorrow .

Vbac close after c section

Has anyone successfully had a vbac after a c section close together - closer than the recommended 18 month wait time ?

need advice

Im just wondering if there is any one out there that is past 37 weeks had a scan done and seen that there little one is engaged?
I had alot of movement yesterday/last night with my little one. Going to go to bed and the cramping started but they didn't last long and adventually I was able to go to bed.
I woke up the morning able to get out of bed straight away walk and didn't have a limp like I usually done with my sciatica and also was able to sit oj my bed and bend over to pick my phone up of the ground that was on charge with out my belly getting in the way.
I dont see my consultant until Monday so will be all the wiser then if baby is engaged I just hope he is and thats what the cramping was for

Reassurance

Just wondering if anyone else went through this. I’m genuinely anxious

So I’m 18 weeks pregnant, and I started spotting around 12pm today. I thought nothing of it because it can sometimes be normal. But I kept spotting till 8pm. I went to the er and they said that the baby is very low on my pelvis when he should be higher by now. The ultrasound showed the heartbeat (I wasn’t shown it) and they said that everything looks normal but they can’t do more testing because there was no one at the lab to test my blood samples or swab. They sent me home still bleeding (the spotting was pink earlier but now it’s gotten to a brighter red color) I have tender pelvis but no pain. Has anyone gone through something similar? Being sent home with no explanation and still bleeding to me is wild.
