3.5 months for an hour or two, then 4.5 months for the day; 9 months we did an overnight - we built up the trust over time x

My son was 6 months, I left him with his nannan for the afternoon while I did a KIT day 😊

It was about 10 months when I left him at the in laws for a bit. It was in preparation for me returning to work around 11.5 months

Have only left her in my house for a few hours, we also have dogs that we don't leave on their own for more than 6 hours so it makes sense!

Waters broke at 32+5

My waters broke on Friday night at 32 weeks and 5 😳! Super scary (and just like the films!) but been in hospital since and labour doesn’t seem to happening naturally (no contractions or heavy bleeding since an initial loss on Friday) so they’ll keep me for three days and then send me home and I’ll just come in if something changes. If not they’ll re-book my section for 37 weeks!!
Really nervous about having a pre-term baby and the potential of NICU. My last baby was 4lbs 13, 10 days early but absolutely fine. Does anyone have any success stories of babies born 6+ weeks early? Thanks in advance x

Feeling overwhelmed

I’m 36+3 and feel like I’m loosing my marbles! I watch my wife go to work, do overtime, go to placement (she is a student as well as working) and I stay home and do what? I finished work week ago and I feel like it’s been the longest week of my life. I am trying to get bits and bobs done in a house to get ready for the baby but I get tired so easily as well. I feel guilty for not doing more, but when i push myself too much I am in agony with my back and hips afterwards. Anyone else feeling like this? I am panicking that nothing is ready and then fall asleep sitting up or struggling to find energy to move. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Diabetes

My baby started nursery at 11 months she became unwell within the first week which I was expecting. However this illness has not left for almost 3 months she’s had 2 lots of antibiotics. Steroids and now on an inhaler my poor baby hasn’t been herself since she started nursery.
We are now looking into diabetes as she has an excessive thirst she is constantly asking for water throughout the day and night her nappies are always full. The nursery even said they’ve not seen a baby love water this much before and it’s only just occurred to me her symptoms align with diabetes.

I just wondered if anyone has been through a similar thing with the water ?
