Father's day?

Do you offer your child to your bd for father's day or just say Happy Father's Day and that's it? My bd hasn't brought it up so I assume he doesn't want to see our kid so I'll just text him and say happy father's day and that's that. Or should I ask him if he wants to spend time with our daughter?

Postpartum self care

FTM here, I feel like I'm being so organised for baby and completely forgot about myself and not sure of everything I'll need.
What are things I'll need/be super helpful....literally everything from underwear to healing sprays/gels, pads etc.
Hoping for a water birth and to breastfeed....so anything essential for breastfeeding too.
Recommendations extremely welcome 😅

Bonnie blue. “Golden” baby shower 🤮🤮🤮🤮

I honestly don’t know how much more degradation of society and oversexualisation of women I can deal with 😭😭😭 how is this actually real??? At first I thought it was a fake pregnancy but the belly is looking very much real now

She is planning to have random men piss on her pregnant belly… it makes me think what type of content will she be creating when the babies actually here

It seems people are willing to stoop to the lowest of lows these days for money

ER or am I just paranoid?

So for the past few days I’ve noticed that whenever I eat a meal, my chest starts to feel tight and it gets hard for me to breathe. I try changing my posture or even leaning back a little but it doesn’t help. Even without me eating I still feel the same feeling.
What should I do?

6-8 week postnatal appointment

What happens at the postnatal appointment?
I've read there could be an internal exam bit other places have said they don't?
I had a c section if that makes a difference?🤷🏼‍♀️

Has anyone else found it really difficult just being in mum-mode 24/7?

April baby is my second, I also have a 3yo, and I'm finding it really difficult. Every second of the day is taken up by my children and family and house, and of course I love it mostly, but I'm overwhelmed by how little time I get to do anything for myself.

I'm so embarrassed to admit it but I shower way less than I should because it just feels like an enormous task when I have barely any energy and just want to go to sleep. Whenever I do shower it's a quick 5 minutes in and out. I brush my hair maybe once or twice a week because I just feel run off my feet, I've just been throwing it into a claw clip as soon as I wake up because baby needs tending to immediately as I open my eyes.

I used to do so many little hobbies - I'd read a new book every week or so, crochet, painting and drawing, walking and yoga, baking. I don't do anything now.

I baked some sugar cookies for my sons birthday a couple weeks ago and it felt like such an effort to get it done. I had to split it up over 2 and a half days just to get them baked and decorated. I was whisking whilst my baby screamed, sitting on the floor in front of the oven with her in my arms so I could watch for them being done because if I put her down for 5 minutes she'd explode. This was all round a time she was having a bit of a fussy spell, she's a bit calmer now, but it all just happens at once.

It makes me fuming when I see my husband enjoying all his hobbies like he did before, and if he gets interrupted and huffs about it all annoyed at if he's so hard done by it gets me even more annoyed. Like be still gets to play video games all the time, he plays the piano and recently got a new keyboard which he's been on constantly, he's been able to watch all the world cup football, just things that I wouldn't feel like I was able to do. I can't remember the last time I watched anything, probably when I was pregnant.

Spotting after sex

I’m 31+4 and after sex this evening I’ve noticed spotting. I’ve previously had some spotting (no trigger) and when I’ve we to triage (twice), they couldn’t work out why. Do I need to worry or is it ok?
