How do I encourage my 7 week old to lift her head while on her front?

She’s actually really strong and can lift her head up well - she’ll do it for 2-3 minutes when she’s on me - but the second she’s on her playmat it’s like she can’t for more than a second anymore. I’ve tried using black and white cards but she just flops back down and rolls on her side to look 🤦🏼‍♀️ she’ll only lift her head if I put her on her arms, need advice for steps here

Do you use a tummy time cushion thing? My son doesn't lift his head without being propped up with a cushion xx

The picture Allie has put here is really good. Tummy time doesn't have to be lying face down on the floor. ❤️❤️ Xxx

Did your second child come sooner?

Just preparing myself incase! I had my little girl at 37+3 weeks and I’m due my boy in September but from people’s experiences should I be expecting him sooner? I know it’s not possible to know for definite but I’m really not prepared this time around😂 so which birth for you came sooner? Your first or second?

Help, feel like I’m driving myself mad

Hi, I’m 37w1d I’ve been getting Braxton hicks, back pain, period pains etc. I feel like my waters may have potentially gone their trickling slowly. Triage have said to go up but I’m worried that it’s nothing as I’ve already been up there today. Advice please

Weddings

Does anyone regret spending ££££ on their wedding?? We are currently pricing up our wedding and the budget is getting blown out the water 🤯 I want to see if it’s worth it or if people regret spending as much as they did

Chair for partner

I'm getting induced on Saturday and we live 30 minutes drive from the hospital and neither me or my partner drive. I do not expect my partner to sleep on that tiny shitty plastic chair they'll have for him while I'm on the ward being induced.
Do you think the hospital would let me bring a chair like this in for him?
I am terrified of staying there the night on my own :/
Or is this just really pathetic of me 😅🤦🏻‍♀️
