Tiredness

Has anyone gotten to the tiredness stage? I’m currently 37+4 and I cannot seem to last a full day without needing to nap. I’m sleeping not too bad at night up and down due to heat and pain but during the day I need a nap 😴

I'm 37+3 and exactly the same at the minute, luckily I'm now on maternity so I'm not sticking to the normal day/night schedule and just following my body. I don't know if it will help you, but I've found filling the bath a little with cold water and then wandering around in it for 10 minutes seems to really lower my temperature and it helps me get a good 5 hours before I'm up in the night xx

Oh I definitely need a nap now! Think it really kicked in last week and 37+1 today but sooo tired!

37+1 and i’ve got about 4 hours after waking up before im dropping off again!

38 weeks, I’m the same, feel extremely tired

37+5 and So incredibly tired I don’t know how to make it through the days when my partners at work and I’m at home with our toddler 😅

Doula Experiences

Hello! I was wondering if people wouldn’t mind sharing their experiences of working with a doula?

I love the idea, especially as a first time mum who wants a natural birth, but worry I’m just getting caught up in something that’s becoming more popular.

Thanks! 🙏🏼

Baby hospital bag

I think this should be everything I need but let me know if you think it’s missing anything important. I still need to wash the muslins and pack some readymade formula bottles (arriving from Amazon tomorrow!) Coming home outfit will be whatever they are wearing at the time of discharging us and we can take a cute announcement photo when we get home.

Hey everybody☺️💞!!

A mom here really needs help. I tried to look to see if they have any groups for moms that are due in September and there is no groups so I really don’t know where to put this besides here I really need help I am 25 weeks pregnant rn with a baby girl she is breech do anybody have any tips on how I can get her in the right position because I had got rushed to the hospital the other day and I had asked the doctor or the nurse what would happen if she doesn’t go in the right position and they basically told me told me if she is not turned by time I make 29 weeks It is most likely that I will have to have a cesarean section (C-section) so I'm hoping and fucking praying this little girl turn the proper way I never had a breech baby before so I really don’t know what to do to help her get in the right position like I’m really stuck right now 💞💞🎀!!!

Name too close to sibling?

We have a son Henry and am pregnant with a girl. Super stuck for names.
We both love Harriet but know it will get shortened to Harri. Is this too close to Henry? Henry and Harri.
Other name we both like is Matilda but I don’t like Madi ahhh!

Is this a really faint line?

Can’t tell if I’ve got line eyes… I’d be happy either way. It’s throwing me off because the line isn’t in the centre but, the not pregnant one isn’t either. Help please 🙏🏻
