Night Terrors

Hi,

My 5 month old has been quite often having these nightmare type stages of sleep, he breathes quickly and whimpers in his sleep.

This doesn’t happen every night but has become increasingly regular. When he is in these states he doesn’t breathe unless it’s with a cry and that panics me.

Is this normal for them to have these ‘night terrors’? Some of the episodes can last 15/20 minutes before he is back to sleeping normally & he doesn’t respond to touch or comfort which is how I can tell he is still fully asleep…

Is it lying?

I need opinions because of an argument with my husband because I don’t know who is correct.

A girl family member of yours had a birthday party, and you told them you would attend, then you forget after running errands (getting gas while driving home and picking up store pick up groceries at the store). You see IG pictures of them celebrating and feel bad, so you message them an apology for not making it, telling them that you were running errands and got home late, but that you would meet up to celebrate them another time. Is it lying to said family member because the technical real reason is that you forgot?

And also, are the listed items considered errands?

20 week scan advise

I had my 20 week scan today and my little boy is measuring smaller in the 25th percentile, they said his legs are shorter then normal only by a small bit. Everything else was perfectly fine has anyone else experienced this?

Visitors after birth

So, my husband’s sister and dad want to drive over 6 hours from a tourist hotspot to come and see the baby at the hospital the day after they’re born… I think this is crazy and don’t really want them coming that close to birth, husband says it’s normal?

Are you having visitors immediately? I don’t want to be rude but I think this is overstepping majorly?

Baby very low at 36 weeks

Just had a growth scan at 36 weeks and baby's head was so low dont they couldn't get a measurement of the head!

Anyone else had anything similar and if so, how long was it before labour started?

I just finished work today but was hoping for a few weeks before baby arrives 😅

braxton hicks while sleeping?

has anyone ever woken up to a braxton hick contraction? i felt like i woke up to my abs feeling tight the other night but i was not sure if it was a contraction or not. happened a few times.
it was not painful, just wierd.

Induction or planned C section

Baby is measuring on the 4.6th percentile. I have another growth scan tomorrow, with the potential of being induced.
I’m now considering if an elective c section would be better. But the thought of both makes me scared.
Has anyone else been in this position? Would a c section be a better experience than an induction?
