Nervous leaving baby with daddy

Anyone get nervous when leaving their baby with their dad? I get nervous because I can soothe the baby better than he can when baby crys

He won't get better without practice. You can talk through what you're doing when you soothe and why, but definitely get in the habit of trusting him alone with baby.

Because I very much got nervous leaving my kiddo with ANYONE, even his Dad. I had to very intentionally leave them alone together to start building that trust.

Updated due date - new to February 2027 group!

Just had my first ultrasound! Thought I was about 8w2d based on my LMP but measuring 7w1d - my due date changed from Jan 26 to Feb 2. Doctor isn’t worried and said we likely caught it extremely early and that I probably ovulated late. She captured a normal heart rate and saw the yolk sack, fetal pole and the embryo along the bottom. Next ultrasound is at 11-12 weeks. Cant help but to be a little worried that I’m measuring “behind” but am grateful for getting this far and seeing baby with a heartbeat. Anyone else in a similar boat?

Outpatient Induction Vs. hospital stays

Hi 👋🏻

I have an outpatient induction booked for Monday at 41+4 days. Most people that I know who have had inductions have ended up being kept in hospital at the start of induction which worries me. I've also seen far too many episodes of birth documentaries on channel 4 this week that show people in hospital beds on wards waiting for inductions.

I have various notes in my hospital notes which suggest I'm high risk but with extra scans and monitoring I've been told I'm actually low risk as everything turns out not to be a concern.

When I've been in for sweeps, the low risk birth centre see those notes and make it sound like they won't have me and I've had to persuade them both times that I have been that I'm low risk enough. The birth centre still don't seem keen to have me and I fear I'll be referred to the high risk department -im waiting for some kind of confirmation that they have decided where they want me to go and I hope my blood pressure behaves itself on the day!


What have been your experiences of outpatient induction? How many people were sent home after it was done and how many were asked to stay in hospital?

How long were you actually in hospital for on the day of your outpatient procedure? Is it just like an appointment or is it like a day surgery where you are put in a ward/bed?

Screen time

We're adjusting.
I used to have the tv going all day. Ive cut it down to 2 hours and that gives me enough time to have breakfast and clean a room, 2 if im lucky. Alphabet, math, other languages.
Once the tv goes off we go outside. We have lunch together then they nap, sometimes me too.
After nap time I have what feels like a lot going on the last 4,5 hours before boys bedtime. Cook dinner, clean kitchen, boys bedtime routine and I've always watched tv during dinner, not how I imagined motherhood but here I am.
So idk what are we doing besides screentime? And how are you staying productive with no screens?
