We’ve just had ours for our 5 month old. Church wise I bought a dress from next, the church didn’t charge for the service but we left a donation.
Afterwards I bought a few banners, balloons, disposable tablecloth, plates, cutlery etc. my mum made a cake and I did buffet food of sandwiches, sausage rolls, salad etc

We had to set it up too and couldn’t get in beforehand but when we arrived all our guests were super helpful putting banners up, blowing balloons and putting table cloth on whilst others made drinks and others got tables and chairs out. I had spoken with a few friends/family before hand about taking on these roles but other guests naturally came forward and asked what they could do to help. We had about 25 guests xx

That's so nice of them. It's gonna be about the same for us, about 25 guests... All dads side

Update

So much for September! I live in Buffalo NY and guess who showed up at 11:48pm on national 716 Day lol! Welcome Princess Alexandria Myelle 🥹🩷 our little 1 pd 17 oz 29 weeker! She’s doing so good in NICU. They took the one breathing tube out and gave her an cpap and she’s doing amazing! They are also removing an iv line because she doesn’t need it. In a few days they will do a Pic Line that will help her get nutrients to her heart and I can actually hold her. She also is starting feeding tonight through a line as well. Overall they love her over there and say shes doing amazing and thriving. No worries at all about her ❤️

What is a name you want to name your child but won't for some reason?

For me it's Saoirse if I were to ever have a girl. I find the name so beautiful, but I know that people where I live would seriously struggle to pronounce it right. 😅

3rd C-section

I would love some encouragement. My husband and I are expecting our 3rd child this Fall and I will be having a 3rd c-section.
My first c-section was unplanned and urgent (baby’s heart rate dropped during labor). My second c-section was planned, but became an emergency because baby’s heart rate dropped while they were still checking me in for the surgery.
Let’s just say, I’m traumatized by previous experiences.

Labour

I am 36+4 and today I have been experiencing stomach and back cramps on and off , loose stools and nausea is this early labour??

Scary Night

I went incognito because someone may figure out where I live, sorry a little paranoid. I think I am overtired, overwhelmed and overworked with looking after my daughter solo while my husband was away, not his fault, well I sat on my bed and i saw a shadow pass by the bedroom door, I had the light on downstairs in the lounge to help me see too the kitchen, the lounge is at the back of house, the kitchen to the front, I swear I saw the shadow twice, I am scared of the dark and being alone, so I put down to tiredness and tried not to think about it even though I was freaked out, well early morning I was making her a bottle and I swore I could hear her crying, she was not, this happened again twice more in the morning. Here the freaky thing I live on the site of an old maternity hospital, part of the original building is next to my new build house, I put down to post pregnancy symptoms but I hope for all our sakes it's just that or I will be getting someone in. Wish me luck I got Saturday night solo, and I am scared shitless.

CERN Babies

I went down a rabbit hole and found out women who haven’t been able to get pregnant for years were able to conceive after cern shutdown. Including me. I’ve been trying for 7 years & this month I tested positive. Unbelievable. I also have 4 friends in different states that have been popping up pregnant. Is this a baby boom? Anyone else have a similar story? Or am I just crazy?
