Rolling baby

My baby just learned to roll from her back to her stomach but I haven’t left her on her tummy long enough to let her roll back onto her back because when she’s on her tummy she lifts her head until it hurts and she cries or it falls down and she picks it back up and fusses. I always just put her back on her back for her because I don’t like seeing her struggle. When did your baby roll back onto their back from their tummy? Is there anything I can do to help her learn?

I used a rattle or a toy to get my son’s attention to have him follow the noise / turn his head which guided him to roll back to his back.

It took my daughter a week to figure out how to flip back over. However, I did support her by practicing this skill during tummy time. There are many videos online from pediatricians and pediatric OTs that walk you through ways to do this.

Had my baby at 35+6

I spontaneously went into labor on June 25th! He was already over the 99th percentile and was born 4:28 pm on the 26th, he weighs 8 pounds 14 ounces and he’s a little longer than 19 inches long, no nicu time but he is jaundice and we’re still getting that together, all in all I’m happy with how my labor went it was my first time going into labor naturally, I got iv pain meds just because I like them I didn’t really need them honestly I just like the way they make me feel lol, and I labored until 8 cm without the epidural but I didn’t wanna push out a big baby without one, and the pressure was too painful. He did get stuck and had shoulder dystocia so they had to intervene really fast to save his life but I couldn’t be happier!

Labour

So I had a midwife appointment today, I am 34+2 with my second child.
They said that the baby is now head down and 'engaged' .. does that mean the chances are he/she might be early?

Would you go to a 2nd bday party at a park that you and your children have to dress up for? See pictures.

My baby got invited to a bday party. We said we would go but now I’m a little annoyed that she is telling adults what to wear. And it’s at a park. Not a fancy place.

We are still probably going to go because I know it’s important to show up, but would you also be annoyed?

I’m 33 weeks pregnant according to my due date, 36 weeks pregnant according to my growth scans

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been having very liquid 💩 to the point I will go toilet for a pee but 💩 will come out as well. A few days ago my belly was hurting I assumed it was because I’d ate too much or not enough idk. Today I’ve felt the same stomach pain that stays for a few minutes then goes. I don’t want to make any unnecessary trips to the hospital as I have an almost 2 year old who needs me. But if anyone has had any similar issues did you find out what was wrong? I still feel my baby move constantly.

C Section toilet talk!

I had a C Section 3.5 days ago and have had 2 does of stool softener. I did manager to go for a number 2 but understandably it was loose. Please tell me this is fine to still take stool softeners to aid!!
