Life with a FOMO baby 🫠

How are you all doing?

I feel like everyone is back to working out, watching TV, having sex and going on vacations. While I'm still living the newborn phase, with frequent crying, feeding, waking in the night, living off frozen meals 🫩. If anyone says do it while the baby sleeps, doesn't have a FOMO baby 😂

Girl same! My LO is 5 months and he’s been a nosey Parker from about 5 weeks old 😂 “sleep when the baby sleeps” never existed for me so I’m with you. Cardio on a stationary bike in the living room when he naps in his Joie is the best I’ve done so far 😂

Have you got the help? If you have then perhaps you need a little more, nothing wrong in it and healthy for you both. If you haven’t got the help don’t be so hard on yourself with the comparing.

Currently swaying her in the baby carrier with white noise on while my partner is upstairs taming our other child 😂 By the time he comes back downstairs, this one will be wide awake and needing a feed/dark room/both and I will have to take her up hoping her sister is deep asleep enough not to wake up from the crying. Adult conversations are in the form of whispers over sleeping kids, reels sent on Instagram and occasionally a half sentence interruped by someone's cry. It takes us an average of 3 days to watch a full film. The idea of holiday terrifies me 🤣

You are definitely not alone.

Here with you- exact same boat!

I've only managed to work out by going to a mum and baby class, which I was bricking it about I can't lie, but thankfully she had plenty to look at! Otherwise second all the above with my FOMO baby 👶

I’ve wanted a girl all my life and now I’m having one I’m struggling so bad to find a name!

I always loved Bella, but my sister called her daughter Isabella and I think it’s too close…

I’m English and my partner is German so I’m looking at names from both cultures. Our list so far is…

Leni
Ella
Lilli
Lyra
Keira

I don’t absolutely love any of them any thoughts and suggestions would be very welcome!! 💕

Anyone else just feel huge already?

I feel like I’ve really popped the last week or so and it’s like I’ve swallowed a beach ball 🤣

Strong pain on lower side belly

Hello ladies, I am 25 weeks tomorrow and just experienced a couple sharp moments of pain on my right side, right under my belly, roughly where you get period pains (i can only describe them as contraption-like even if I don't know what a contraption feels like).

It lasted a few second twice then went away. Laying down now and it's gone.

I have had period-like mild cramping across lower belly all morning, but i know thats nothing to worry about, just worth mentioning.

Any of you had this? Could it be braxton or ligament? Halp

Labour and post birth visitors

I see a lot of people saying they don’t want anyone knowing when they are in labour and don’t want any visitors after. Just wondering what the general thoughts are on this? What are people’s reasons for wanting/not wanting this.

I’m a first time mum and thinking I want my friends and family around me straight away (if they want to) is there some sort of negative to this?

Rolling over

So my daughter is 16 weeks (soon to be exactly 4 months on the 25th). Im looking at the milestones tracker one of which being rolling over.

She can roll from her back on to her side and then to her back again but not from back to front and cant roll at all when on her front.... when do we class babies as being able to roll? When can I tick this off?

Affair

Today is my birthday, and i found out that my husband been cheating on me.
And he still saying that i accused him. I saw the chat, he deleted already.
Couldn’t prove it now. So he still denied it.
Oh well doesn’t matter,i saw what i saw.
Kind of knew it’s coming.
So happy birthday to me yay
