Newborn congestion

health visitor assured me that it’s absolutely normal for my 4 week old to be stuffy and have a considerable amount of congestion, but just concerned about him coughing because of it and gagging on it. using an electric suction device but does anyone have any more tips to help him?

I filled the bath up steaming hot to make the bathroom steamy and added baby vapour soap in the bath so it mixed in with the steam in the room it really helped my boy when he was badly congested, also nasal spray for babys helped a ton I’ll send a picture in of what brand we used for him affordable and helped a ton x

A humidifier, snuffle babe drops/vapour bath, stermiar nose spray

thank you guys! nasal spray is safe for his age? x

The sterimar one is from birth, but most of them are from 3 months so you just have to check which one before you buy x

Elective c-section

Hi everyone! Im just really confused and would love to hear about other people's experiences.....
I had a 3b perineal tear after my first little one 2 years ago and now im 31 weeks pregnant and they've given me an option between an elective c-section vs natural birth. Im terrified about the c-section as ive never had surgery before and I've heard of people getting the "shelf" that never goes away.... The obstitrician recommends a c-section saying there's a 10-15% chance that I'll retear and 50% of people that do will have life long symptoms of incontinence but my midwife is so confident in her skills that she says that the chances I'll get another 3b tear is small, I might get a 2nd degree tear, not a 3rd degree one. Has anyone had a tear with their first and gone either way with the second that could help me out?? Thank you!!!

After birth midwife visits

Just wondering if this is a new thing across the board or not, mine and babies day 5 midwife visit I’m being told is at the hospital where as my first baby they came to the house for all checks. Any one else being sent elsewhere for this?

I’m 5 days post c-section and can barely get off the sofa so I don’t think this is a very practical appointment in regards to major abdominal surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nesting mode at 33 weeks!

33 weeks and I feel like everything needs to be done this week and next. I have washed and folded all baby clothes. How is everyone else getting on?

Elective C-Section booking

Hello everyone!

My due date is 31st December…I’m definitely having a C-Section due to complications with my first labour.

Will my section be booked in exactly a week before (christmas eve), or will they avoid that date due to staff shortages over the holiday season?

Thankyou❤️❤️❤️
