Sons party dilemma

Please read!! My mother-in-law just bought a bouncy house and told us we could throw a party at her house with it for my son’s fourth birthday party! Of course we accepted.

There’s a couple problems though, there’s only six kids allowed on it at a time. I want to stick to the rules really good since she’s being really kind to let us use her yard and her bouncy house!

Usually, we invite 15 kids only three of these kids are friends then my siblings kids are invited the problem is they all live super far away if I throw a party with only the three friends, it won’t be very fun, but if I invite only one of my siblings, it’s going over the limit of how many kids we can have they both have older kids as well that like to play and they’re like 130 pounds on their own😅
I’m not sure what to do please help!!

C-Section recovery

Did anyone else suffer a couple days after the c-section? Im on day 3 of my recovery and my whole body is suffering. Climbing off the couch is a 10 minute process. Getting out of a bed is close to 15. Why is my body aching like this? Im still waiting on the pharmacy for the rest of my meds (the ones that matter I already have).

Sharp agonising back pain coming in waves. Has anyone had this?

Hiya. I’m 26 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. Occasionally I have experienced a really excruciating pain near my spine and across my lower back. It does not ease with walking, lying, standing, or sitting. As soon as I move, the pain is unbearable. The pain comes in waves and lasts roughly 30 seconds. I’ve had it a few times throughout my pregnancy but it woke me up this morning while I was on holiday and I seriously considered going to the hospital because of the pain. If I was in the UK I would have gone straight to triage but as I’m abroad, I don’t want to go to the hospital and ruin the holiday if it’s nothing, especially as we will be flying home in 2 days. The pain has gone now but like I said, it isn’t constant and comes in waves every now and then. Should I be worried? Should I get checked out of can I wait until I’m back in the UK? Has anyone experienced this?

It’s causing me anxiety but I really don’t want to go to the hospital until I’m back in the UK.

Thanks xx

Birthday parties

As a parent would or do you think Sunday is a bad day to have a party? Especially when it’s not the school holidays. Would or do you prefer a Saturday so that it’s not such a rush on a Sunday to get ready for the week ahead and of course school & work etc the day after.

Only thinking as my boys birthday will be on a Monday so now I’m thinking will it be a bad idea to have it on the Sunday😅🤣

Struggling to walk

I’m 36 weeks pregnant, and I’m struggling to physically walk. I can only do one lap of a block then end up having to rest as baby is SO low it’s causing me pain. I’m usually really fit and healthy so finding it fustrating especially with a toddler! Anyone else finding the same? I feel like this baby is going to come out soon 😂

Next time someone tells me I look like I’m about to pop I’m gonna tell them I’m not pregnant cause that shit is so rude.

No more context necessary.

Mums with chronic fatigue. How do you manage?

I've got no idea what is happening to me but I believe it was happening way before I was pregnant with my almost 2 year old. I get patches of extreme fatigue...if I do any cardio exercises I am exhausted for hours or days afterwards...even 15 mine on the exercise bike last night after he went to bed has meant I'm absolutely shattered today and I feel totally depleted
Doctors have taken my blood numerous times and things just come back within range and then they discharge me.
A private blood assessment indicated low ferritin but nothing else flagged up.
I want to get back to a healthy weight and body shape but all my energy goes on surviving and taking care of my toddler every day and night. I cant afford to lose anymore energy....
Any suggestions or has anyone been through this?
