Telling people ur pregnant

I don’t really know how to feel tbh I just told my mum that I’m pregnant and she said that Iv ruined her whole week and that’s she’s not happy for me and that she feels bad for my son ,I don’t see why she feels bad for my son he has everything he wants and more he’s the happiest toddler ever and I think he will love having a sibling so he’s always got someone to play with

Don’t let your mom ruin this blessing you have!! I’m sorry she responded in a way like that but be happy for this moment! Congratulations to you!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉I will celebrate for you
And I love that your son will have a sibling growing up as I loved growing up with my younger sisters

Wow what an awful reaction I am so sorry.
A sibling and a playmate is the best gift to give your son. And a new baby is just fabulous congrats.
This is definitely your mums issue and not yours so don’t pay any attention and enjoy growing your family … every child is a blessing
I think most kids love/want siblings. My husband is an only child and he would have loved to have had a sibling but unfortunately his parents weren’t able to have any more. To this day he wishes he had a brother or sister
So absolutely no reason to feel bad for your son

I’m so sorry your mum said this to you 😞 all babies are blessings in my eyes and if anything it’s gonna be better for your son that he’ll have a wee sibling to play with 🥰 maybe your mum is jealous I’m sorry if that’s coming across as harsh

Memory loss?

I just woke up and I was co-sleeping with my 5 month old baby in my bed … I have no memory of putting him there. When I got him to sleep earlier on I had placed him in his crib and I remember seeing him still in his crib when I went to sleep. I read up it could be because people get sleep deprived but I don’t feel that was the case for me. Yes I was tired when I fell asleep but definitely not sleep deprived. I just don’t remember getting up and moving him into my bed. I don’t do drugs or drink and I’m on no medication.

Has this happened to anyone before? I’m freaking out so much as I can’t remember it at all! He’s back safely in his crib now but now I’m stressed about the whole situation

Sleeping with baby on chest

Have any of you tried sleeping at night with baby on chest? My 6 week old baby has been a really good cot sleeper but tonight she just seems frightened after a few mins of being in the cot (I have no idea why!). She sleeps for ages on the chest in the day but I've been reluctant to do it at night as guidance advises otherwise...

Has anyone tried the diaper bags that turn into a makeshift bassinet?

I've been seeing these types of diaper bags that expand out to become a makeshift bassinet for the baby. Has anyone tried one? Is it worth it?

Epidural

I’ve decided I probably want an epidural but the idea of a needle going into my spine freaks me out. Please any advice on how to push past that in order to be able to get one.

Is anyone’s baby sleeping through the night yet?

My son is 2 months old. He’s still waking up 2-3 times a night to eat. At what point did your baby go down to one night feed or start sleeping through the night? I have to go back to work in a month and I’m worried. I’m not sleeping well between feeds and pumping.

2 month old sleep

My son is 11 weeks old. Sleep is the hardest thing for us, specifically sleeping independently. I can’t get him to nap in his crib and he only wants contact naps. At night he will sleep maybe a 4 hour stretch in his bassinet (though his bedtime is inconsistent right now), wake up for a bottle, and then he won’t go back into his bassinet for the rest of the night. I don’t necessarily want to cosleep (even though he sleeps from roughly 10:30-4 and then 5-8 if he does), but we can’t get good rest otherwise. It’s just that I miss my bed with my husband and just want our space back. Does anyone have any advice for naps or bedtime?
