June 2026 Babies 🇺🇸

Baby Blues

I had my beautiful baby early June and was feeling amazing and incredibly motivated. I even went on runs and walks. But all of a sudden, the past three days have felt like I’ve been hit by a bus. I feel alone, super sad, unmotivated, and just don’t feel like getting out of bed or eating.

Almost sounds like Postpartum depression that’s how I was with my oldest and I had postpartum depression after having him there was days I’d be great then days I’d be feeling alone and all that

My postpartum has gotten to the point where I feel detached from my kids and their dad… I love my kids to death, but I no longer feel connected to them. I no longer have the patience for them anymore. I get agitated so easily… I have no motivation for anything…

I caught mine early and started meds and thank God i did

2nd section

My first I had a planned section it was great. My 2nd planned section is next week.

Question - did anyone go earlier 2nd time round? Was it a scary experience?

I’m worried go early. I’ve been told I would still get my section but treated as emergency section but I’m just really worried and anxious about that happening.

7 week scan

Hi,
Has anybody had a 7 week scan for reassurance and did you hear a heart beat / would you recommend it? I don’t feel like I can wait another 3 weeks until my first midwife appointment!

Gunky eye - blocked tear duct

Hi all - my baby is now 4wks 5days old and since she was born gets a gunky right eye, they told me it was due to a blocked tear duct and will go eventually. We clean it with boiled water/ cotton wool but wondered if anyone else’s baby gets this and what may have helped?

Early Scan?

I’m trying to decide on whether or not to book an early scan, it’s my first pregnancy and will be 5wks tomorrow. I’ve had some mild cramping and coloured discharge, according to NHS it’s all normal. I have quite severe anxiety as it is, and this is making me spiral slightly. I’m trying to reassure myself but I don’t know if booking an early scan will help?

How soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start/baby born?

I’m starting to get lots of symptoms/indications that labour is getting closer. But how soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start and then when was your baby born?

I lost my plug yesterday and feeling crampy and more emotional today…
