First pregnancy is this Normal?

I’m 14 weeks +2 and since my 2nd trimester every morning I’ve been having diarrhoea and then nothing for the rest of the day. I’m taking vitamin D but have been from the start. Is it something to worry about? I’ve always had not the best of stomachs and digestion but not like this.
I drink around a Stanley and a 1/2 a day? Is that enough? Or will it be dehydration?

What do we do for birthdays!?

My son’s DOB is December 30th!! The mum guilt is real… for some reason???

It’s a really rubbish time of year to have a birthday and now my son will be 2 this december, I have no clue what to do for his birthday. His dad and I are separated and last year he was only 1 so we split the day in half. But I don’t want to do that forever… What are people doing for their December babies birthdays?

Not walking

I feel like every other June baby we know is walking, and has been for a while now. My girl took a couple of solo steps about 3 weeks ago and I really thought that was the start of it but no, she just won't. She'll happily walk everywhere holding 1 hand but the moment you let go she drops straight down. I feel like she's not even wanting to stand on her own any more.
I'm not sure if its just me but it feels like she's actually regressing in terms of her gross motor skills rather than getting better.
She's just turned 13 months so I know there's still loads of time before we officially have to worry that she's not walking. But what can I do to help her with her confidence? She absolutely refuses to use a push along walker. We have 3 different types and she won't even entertain touching any of them..

Mums of little girls – quick question! 😊

Hi everyone 🙈😊 A random (and slightly shy! 😂) toddler question…

I'm teaching my 18-month-old daughter the names of her body parts (eyes, ears, nose, tummy, etc.), and she's recently started touching her private area every time I change her nappy. I know it's probably just normal curiosity ❤️.

It got me wondering… what do you call that area with your little girls? Do you use the proper anatomical name (vulva) or a nickname? I'm still getting used to what's most common culturally here in the UK, so I'd love to hear what everyone does. 🥰

Anyone else??

I make 24 weeks tomorrow with my little girl. She has been very active and I’ve been able to feel her most throughout the day. However, the last 2 days seems like the movements are a lot weaker.. I can’t remember if this happened with my first. I do feel her moving just not as noticeable or often.

I have messaged my doctor, but they are closed. I had an appointment scheduled already for Wednesday, just wanting to know if anyone else has experience this.
