TMI sorry

Having pulsing in my vagina, and a weird pain that I’ve not really felt before. I’m 6 weeks and 6 days today so not sure if this is normal or not? Also what is everyone doing to help with gastric issues since being pregnant it’s been horrendous

As weird as it feels, we call them Fanny daggers🤣 It’s completely normal!

I'm around the same stage as you From what I've read and been told:
V The pulsing/throbbing sensation is actually quite normal there's so much more blood flowing down there now in early pregnancy, so it can feel like a heartbeat or pulse. As long as there's no heavy bleeding or really bad pain, it's usually just your body working as it should.
Gastric issues are SO common! Pregnancy hormones slow everything down, so bloating, gas, and discomfort are really normal. Try eating smaller meals more often, sip water slowly, avoid spicy or heavy foods, and gentle movement helps. Ginger tea or plain crackers can also help settle things.
Just please remember if the pain becomes strong, cramps badly, or you see any bleeding call your doctor or midwife straight away. Better to be safe! Hope you feel better soon

Having a C-Section with a almost 2 year old

Hi! I’ll be having my next baby in January 2027 and stuck between having a elective c-section as my birth with my son was so traumatic or trying for a VBAC but i just want to know how is having a C-Section Recovery with a toddler & newborn. I’m just so worried as my toddler is attached to me and is such a mummy’s boy. Any advice would be so helpful.

Thank you

C-section with a toddler!

I’m interested to hear people’s experiences! We are hoping for a 3’ish year age gap and my daughter still breastfeeds and co sleeps (won’t be changing either until she wants to)… my little girl always wants me to hold her, cuddle and obviously she’s on me a lot with feeding.

I’ll be having a planned Caesarian next birth due to a traumatic natural birth before with significant tearing so trying to think ahead and feeling anxious about it!

1st birthday

So I’m throwing a 1st birthday party for my girls but I’m wondering what the gift situation will be like. I’ve never thrown any party, so this will be our first and it’s at a venue. Is it cheesy/ does it look bad to create a registry and share on the party invitation? Should I say specifics on what gifts to get (age appropriate, specific diaper/ wipes brands, etc)? Or should I do nothing and just accept gifts as they come? Sorry for the random typing but for some reason I’m struggling to put my thoughts into words lol

Should I ..
