I’m a mom to a 1-year-old now.😊

Yesterday was my baby’s birthday and I got so emotional. It took me way back before she was born and all the fight that we were fighting. Happy Birthday mommy love you. 🎂🎁🎈🎊🎉

IM SO CONFUSED

Last week my midwife said my stomach was measuring a week behind, so she said I needed a growth scan. (33w 3d) I go to the ultrasound yesterday, they tell me baby is 4pounds 5 ounces and says that’s in the 7th percentile and have me speak to a doctor immediately, doctor said I need to come in 2x a week for monitoring and a ultrasound every other week…. Here’s the thing I feel like they are freaking out for no reason I searched it up and it said 4.5 is on track or ahead for 33 weeks, Also she was practicing breathing in the ultrasound, and her heart beat is healthy.

Am i lazy?

My daughter (first and only child) is 8 months old, a relatively good sleeper but wants to be held or wants me with her at all times. I have two larger dogs and my house is in a bit of a state. I feel exhausted and know I need to clean but I can't be bothered. I do clean up after dinner, clean the bathrooms after using them but everywhere needs a deep clean. I feel like I don't have the energy. Am I a lazy bitch or is it normal to feel this bone deep tired even only with one child? I don't know how mothers of multiple children do it!

Partner doesn’t drive – any advice?

I’m due in November with my first baby, and we live around 35 minutes from the hospital. My partner doesn’t drive, and him passing before the baby arrives isn’t an option, so I’m just wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation? How did you manage getting to the hospital when you went into labour, and do you have any tips or advice? 🤍

Fandom baby names

Anyone else find it cringey or hate it when people name their kids after something from a popular book, TV show or film?

Like when everyone was naming their kids from Game of Thrones or now I keep seeing ACOTAR names (love love love the ACOTAR books but no way was I going to name my child Rysand 🤪)

What happens at a 5 week early scan?

I'm booked in for an early pregnancy scan at 5 weeks and feeling really nervous. What should I expect to see at this stage? Would love to hear about others' experiences!

Morning sickness

Just need some advice please

I have morning sickness everything I eat comes back up, it was so bad that I was admitted in hospital. I’ve tried 3 different anti sickness tablets, they don’t work. I eat small portions and slowly. Is this normal as I didn’t experience this with my first child.
