Baby diagnosed with diabetes

Hey mamas, I know this group isfor mamas with diabetes, but I hope you could advise me. My 20mo was just diagnosed with this and we have been in ICU this whole week. I feel like my world shattered and life is over. Could I please have any words of hope and encouragement that my baby girl can have a fullfilling happy life? 🙏🏼🙏🏼😭😭😭

Early scan

I only found out I was pregnant last Wednesday but it turns out I could be between 8-12 weeks gone 😬
I get to go for an early scan today so I’m super excited but I will also be on my own so I’m a bit nervous encase there’s anything wrong. Either way, I’m wishing myself luck 🍀

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 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Baby girl names

I don't like any girl names 😭

I live in the US and like boy/unisex names for girls.

My top are Scottie, Palmer, & Maren but not sold on anything. I tried chatgpt but would love some suggestions

Feeling ill

I’m 4 weeks post partum, had an emergency c section. Currently pumping and supplementing with formula but I just keep feeling underlying feeling of flu like symptoms, aching bones kind of thing. It never manifests into anything but I always just feel a bit unwell. I’m wondering if it’s the expressing that’s making me feel like this !? 🤔😫 Anyone else feel like this?

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
