5m old baby

Hi there! My baby will be 5 months in Monday. The past few weeks I’ve noticed that he had been learning to grab things and coordinate his motor skills so maybe I’m over thinking it. He does this motion with his hand where he mimics the hitting movement but it’s constant, I noticed it’s only with one hand (the left I believe) is this normal? Is anyone else child doing this? Am I over thinking it?

Baby boy has arrived 💙

I love him so much 💙

She’s here!!

A bit of a late one but she was due 11th of June but baby Evangeline made her appearance on 30th May!
I had been contracting for days on end with no real pattern, on the 30th I went back into triage with reduced movement and tightenings and she didn’t meet criteria and wasn’t improving so they decided to deliver her via emergency c section that same day. I actually went into labour whilst waiting to go into theatre and was having contractions 2 minutes apart and they gave me the choice to try labour and deliver naturally or have a section, they told me I had a over 50% chance that I’d need a section anyway so for baby girls safety I went ahead with a section.
I had been hoping for a vbac this time round as my little boy was also an emergency section but this c section was so healing from last time. I was able to be awake to hear her first cry and hold her straight away, it was such a beautiful experience 💕
Welcome to the world Evangeline 💖

Blood clot

Anybody else had a blood clot in the chest area during and then after pregnancy? When I was 26 weeks our hospital suspected I had a blood clot but was later ruled out but I’m now 2 months after my c section and I’m now having the same symptoms and have just been up a and e and have been told they think I have another blood clot in a vein in my chest. I’m quite devastated as I feel like I’ve spent my maternity quite unwell so far. I just want to be healthy and able to look after my baby. I’m so scared I’m going to die. I really don’t want to. Anyone had this as well?

Yet to be named but completely in awe ♥️

She’s here

Came exactly on her due date. Was due to be induced but everything went left .. got into labour naturally. Ended up with an emergency c section. Was a very long and emotional day, but I’m glad we both made it out. Congratulations to those who welcomed their June bundle of joys, this app made it bearable for me for the past 9 months and seeing how all the other ladies where dealing with same things as I was, it was comforting. All the best to those still waiting.
Kiarah , born 9th June, 8lbs 3oz - we are all so in love with her, she’s got her big sis wrapped around her little finger already.

12 week scan

I just got my 12 week scan date and by my dates from an earlier scan I’ll only be 10 weeks 4 days. Should I let them know or go anyway as it’s another chance to see my baby?
