Braxton hicks!

Sharing for awareness - 33 weeks and yesterday I had serious braxton hicks.

My entire belly was going rock hard and this was lasting upto 1 hour at a time. Personally, when my belly is so solid I find it hard to feel any movements inside too. So rang triage… ended up going in - had all mine and babys obs done on CTG. All absolutely fine🙏🏼. Midwife explained to me that braxton hick tightening can last a fairly long time (not always 1-2 minute bursts like i thought it was). Aslong as there is no pain alongside them then it is not generally cause for concern. 🤰🏻

Wasn’t pleasant either way and hoping for less stress and braxton hicks today!

How long are you sterilising bottles?

I did it for the full year as advised with my son but I also find it a little pointless after weaning starts?😅 I’m not sterilising every spoon, plate, cup, bowl etc and didn’t with my son either🤷🏼‍♀️

4 month regression

Anyone else going through the 4 month regression?
I’m struggling so much with it. She was just being affected in the day with naps but now it’s affecting her night time sleep too 😭😅

Sleeping help!

My 6 month old is now too big for her next to me, it’s tilting with her weight and she is not sleeping well due to this but is still not ready fully for her cot, she has had the odd nap successfully but that is hit and miss? 🤷🏻‍♀️
