Should I go in?

This afternoon, for the past 5 hours I’ve had lower back pain that comes in waves. Along with that I occasionally get pelvic pain. I’m trying to ignore it. But I was in the hospital over night two weeks ago with issues. So I just don’t know if I should ignore it or go in since I have a history of having issues….

I am 34 weeks

Kids birthday party on Halloween day

If Halloween falls on a Saturday, would you let your child attend a classmate’s birthday party during the afternoon?

It’ll be a costume/halloween themed party, with lunch provided, parents and siblings are welcome, and it will end in time for people to go home and get ready for their evening plans.

14 month tantrums everyone 2 mins anyone else?

My 14 month old is having tantrums over everything! And is constantly hitting in frustration. Is anyone else doing the same? Actually finding it unenjoyable being a mum at the moment and bed time is also awful always taking so long! Feel so guilty but just feeling like I need a break!

Timing contractions

Been timing for 40 mins, consistently 3-4 mins apart lasting 1 minute each, but not growing in intensity/pain. I’m drinking water and laying on my side, switching sides, etc, to see if anything stops it. So far they’re still going, but I don’t wanna waste time going to the hospital if they’re not getting more painful/intense, as of now it’s been 40 mins of the same intensity. (Mild/moderate low back/low belly cramp).

Birthday parties

So I’m absolutely devastated to be saying this but I’m currently planning my little boys second birthday party (how is my newborn turning 2 in a few months 😭) and I’m not sure when to send out the invites, I’m planning on inviting kids from his nursery now that he’s actually making friends but i don’t want to send them too early and the parents forget or send them too late and everyone already has plans, when would be the best time? x

In shock after labour

I previously shared that I was overdue and my husband’s sisters had requested to know all the detail’s of my labour, which we agreed he would simply say it was fine.

I gave birth and I still haven’t processed how traumatic it was. It ended in an emergency c section under general anaesthesia due to an infection. Being fully dilated for hours.

In a family group chat; they asked him “how was the whole ordeal?”, I haven’t read his response but he casually mentioned that he told them I had a c section.

Even just that detail alone has filled me up with rage and disgust toward him. I’m so deeply hurt that he even shared something as simple as that.

I haven’t processed it at all and it only happened today I’m just in shock and traumatised by the experience.

June 11

Anyone’s baby born June 11th as well? I’m struggling mentally and want to connect with someone whose baby is the same age. Thank you 🙏🏽
