As a newborn your baby should be eating at least every 2hrs or cluster feeding which is normal. The line on the diaper will turn blue if the baby has peed and if baby pooped it usually stinks. It’s good to just check often. All babies are different so don’t feel pressure to do exactly what someone else is doing. It will come naturally to you and you will learn your babies patterns, routines, likes and dislikes. I would find a good pediatrician that you can comfortably ask questions to

I was so overwhelmed with my first and can imagine it being the same with our second now 🤭😅 we just did everything “on demand”. So at first when our baby was crying we would trial and error: breastfeeding, nappy change, sleep/ carrying. Later on we started elimination communication because it helped us a lot. Over time you learn to read their body language so you don’t have to “wait” until they cry :)

You don't 'know' to do 🤣 you just fake it until you make it 🤣. If they are crying you just through the checklist - are they hungry? Are they tired? Do they need a nappy change? Do they need to burp? X

Post Partum periods

Has anyone found their second period after baby to be worse? First one was absolutely fine but this second one is a killer! Horrendous cramps and mood and so so heavy, going through Super Plus tampons every two hours and using massive pads to!

Glucose Test Results

I had my GD test on Thursday and havent heard anything back at all and cant see anything on the BadgerNotes App. I was just wondering how long it took for others to see their results as I have also just noticed my phone number is listed wrong on one section of the app (just text my midwife about this).

Sharing the news!

Have you told anyone yet aside from your partner?

I'm terrible at keeping secrets, and so excited. But it's so early.

Have you told anyone yet?

About people being rude

So I am 13 weeks and two days pregnant today and I went to post about how my bump is growing finally and people wanted to say oh you can’t be showing your Bump anymore because this is about people people that are going through their second pregnancy and wanting to do their second journey, but I am in my second pregnancy and in my second journey so I’m not understanding why I’m not allowed in that group. It was TTC number two. That’s what the group name was, and I had to leave because of how rude these people were
