Baby’s First Birthday

Hello moms,
I want to celebrate my baby’s first birthday, but I do not have any friends here, some of my friends are in west coast, and some are in my native country.

I really want to celebrate his birthday in a park where I can put some decorations, get a big cake and want the other moms to attend the party. I know first birthdays are mostly for families and close friends, but my family is also not in US. And I do not want to cut his first birthday cake all alone with my husband.

Can you please give me some ideas on how to celebrate his birthday and invite some moms with their babies or toddlers.

Is this labour?

If your waters didn’t break, were you sure you were in labour (when you actually were)?

Context: I’ve been having horrendous stomach cramps that come and go, together with diarrhoea. I don’t think it’s labour so just wonder if I’ll just ‘know’ when it is?!

Reduced Movements

I had to pop to triage this morning for a change in my baby’s movements. Usually she’s really on the surface and gives lots of strong kicks, but they have been really muffled and they feel really far back. I thought it was worth checking! This happened a couple of weeks ago too, and they have told me I need to have a scan as I have been to triage twice in 21 days. Has anybody had to have a scan for this too? 🫣

Scans

How many scans have you had in total? I’ve had 7 and feeling like that is a lot! I have 4 more scheduled too 🫣

Is it too late for a scan?

Hi all

I haven’t seen baby since the 20 week scan and I really wanted to see her but have been debating - i have an anterior placenta and im 32 weeks tomorrow - is there any point? Should i go for a 4D one too? It would be with window to the womb as I did 6 week and 15 week gender/private ones with them and had a good experience - they did say come back at 26 weeks max but I was just settled on not going back and now I really want to see her.. Thanks xx

Hospital bag advise!

I am only 28 weeks but want to start getting things gathered for my hospital bag! I have no idea where to start, can any one tell me the absolute essentials and things that people stay to bring but you don’t actually use (I hope that makes sense) this is for me and baby!
