Christmas Baby

My due date is 21st December, I have another scan next week to confirm for sure as I was measuring more 11 weeks at my '12 week scan'. A lot of people are being really negative about the due date, saying my baby is going dislike their birthday. Any tips on decent replies back? Thank you!

My mother in law is born on the 20 December and she always says how much she loves her birthday as everyone is always so happy and festive around Christmas 🎄

My first was due on xmas day. I ignored people. But don't remember negative other than its not a great time to have a bday because of xmas and people having no money. My LO is now 2.

Have another one due on 15th December and people say things but I just say joint parties will be easy 😂

My best friend’s birthday is on the 27th, and we always make an effort to celebrate with her. We’re lucky to already be off work for it! People make the effort for those they care about, regardless of the time of year. ❤️

My sisters birthday is the 22nd and she’s liked it as it was always at the start of the school holidays.
My partners is on Christmas Day and he loves his birthday as it’s so festive and like a countdown to his birthday as well as Christmas.
My daughter was also born on the 14th December.
I haven’t got any specific replies but I guess everyone is usually in happier spirits over that time of year xx

I mean, I'd just be honest and say "Or they might love their birthday? "

Kid can't help when it's born. You can always do Xmas stuff separate to their birthday activities. Just save like crazy as it might hit harder financially

I feel like a great way to look at is that they’ll probably get to be on holiday break from school. Maybe see more people than they normally would because of the holidays. Be surrounded by friends and family. And people who matter will make a point to make them feel special for their birthday. Nothing wrong with all that 💕

Christmas is the most magical time of year. What a great time to have a birthday. Also most people are off at some point around that time so plenty of opportunities to celebrate with family. AND if you really wanted to, you could do a half birthday celebration in the summers.

It’s such a festive time the majestic vibe is priceless there’s so much decretive festive bits on
There’s literally all year to put money aside
I wouldn’t pay any attention to negative comments

Thank you everyone 💓 ☺️

My daughter will be 4 on Christmas Eve. She’s not at the age where she fully understands what date her birthday is. For me, I love it, very exciting. Makes it more magical but I will say for planning things for her birthday is a little difficult as some things I’ve had in mind aren’t open or they close early with it being Christmas. We do little celebrations in the summer and call it a half birthday.
I love Christmas, when buying my daughters presents I always make sure to buy for both occasions I make sure on Christmas Eve it’s all birthday vibes and then just before bed she gets her Christmas Eve box which is of course Christmassy. I love how her birthday is Christmas Eve I call her my little Christmas baby❤️ don’t listen to other people’s negative opinions. These things can’t really be helped and there’s nothing wrong with being a Christmas baby❤️

C-section fold over

I’ve found the holy grail. I’ve been dry brushing my skin and I’ve noticed it makes a crazy difference with my food over which I’ve had a terrible time trying to get rid of even with losing weight. If anyone is struggling with the same thing I would suggest it !!

Had my little boy today!! 💙💙

A little chonker at 8lb 9! Feeling so in love 🥰 can't wait for him to meet his big sister ❤️

Baby’s movments at 36 weeks

Hi Mums!🤰✨🩷

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and when my baby moves in my belly, I don't get big horse kicks like most other mothers do. I get very light movement, like if it's like turning on its side or something, they are soft but nothing to make me jump. Is that normal? Should I be worried for it to not be feeling stronger movement by now?

After being so nervous for an ECV, my boy decided he couldn't wait anyway and arrived on 25th May (the hottest day of the year 🥵) via emergency c-section. He's a tiny 6lb 7 ounces and arrived 12 days early 😅

Mucus Plug 24 weeks

I think my mucus plug has been coming away today and yesterday. Called midwife who said based on the description it likely is that and not to worry unless it have labour symptoms or bleeding. Has anyone else been in this position? It has got me a little worried to say the least.
