Emotional at milestones?

When my baby started daycare at 14 months I was very emotional. Probably cried everyday for at least a week (never in front of her though). Now she's moving up to the toddler room soon and I find myself feeling emotional again. How is time going by so quickly? One year of the toddler room, then one year of preschool room, then off to school. It brings tears to my eyes to think about. Can anyone else relate? My husband doesn't really understand and says I'm going to be a wreck when she starts school (he's probably right). 🥺 Motherhood truly feels like my heart is outside of my body.

Rolling…

14 week baby started rolling 2 weeks ago, this morning I have found him face down (I panicked straight away and turned him on his back) - he was fine. 5 mins later he is sound asleep on his side!

He can’t roll front to back yet. Neck control is improving daily but I’m terrified to sleep now.

Any advice welcome🥲

Parenting styles

Am i in the wrong? So for context, me and my boyfriend have different parenting styles. I prefer to discipline our daughter by calmly explaing what she did wrong, asking her to apologise and make sure the persons okay whereas my boyfriend prefers to raise his voice so she starts crying and pyt her in time out and tell me im not allowed to go "save" her. I don't feel there's a need to put her in timeout and make her cry, i feel like it's just creating unnessecary trauma. He keeps complaing that i'm disipline her properly and that i'll soon learn why we don't take her out of timeout and why we shout and apparently i'm making her hate him by being the gentler parent but i know she loves her dad so much. What do you guys think?

Overthinking

I’m 1 month postpartum and I can’t stop overthinking everything I do for my self, like I wanna wear jeans but when I put them on I take them right off because I start overthinking on if I’m gonna irritate something and bleed again and its mentally exhausting.. any other moms do this?

If your pram was this mouldy, wouldn't you replace it instead of paying $$ to get it "cleaned"?

I came across a post about a pram cleaning company and was kind of appalled. If my pram was this mouldy I would rather replace it, than pay $$ to get it cleaned. Most times mould can't be fully cleaned out and I would rather buy another even if it was 2nd hand. Just want to know what others think? Would you throw it out at that point and look for another whether that was new, off a free site or even used as I stated above?

Do I need to see a Pelvic floor physio?

My midwife told me I need to see a women’s health/pelvic floor physio at 6 weeks postpartum to clear me to exercise/ give me an exercise rehab plan.
I had a vaginal birth with an intact perineum.

I’m wondering how necessary it is since it’s really expensive and I haven’t heard of other people doing this. Has anyone else been told to see a physio before exercising?/ do you think it’s necessary?
