What age was your baby when you first left them overnight?

(Don’t judge I feel like this is giving bad mum enough🫣😂)

It’s my partner’s mums birthday coming up and my baby is seven weeks old I feel on edge leaving him as it is and all I read is people not being able to leave there baby till they’re over 2 months, is it bad if I do go for the night and leave him with a family member ? And is it bad that I’m even considering going 🥲🥲

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

Waters breaking vs watery discharge

How could people tell the difference between watery discharge and their waters breaking?

Kayla, are you alive girl?

I realized Kayla was such a popular name when I was growing up there would be like 3 Kayla's in one class. Sadly I have not run into any Kayla's as an adult. Where y'all at?

2 weeks PP and feel so weak

Hey. I’m 2 weeks PP today and I’m feeling so weak and drained. I have no appetite to eat. It’s really getting me down and effecting me looking after baby. 😔 please say it gets easier.

Induced by having waters broken

I’m about to be induced this week with my third (also third induction but first took pessary and drip, second only took pessary). They plan to just break my waters.

I’d love to know how long your labours were when they induced by breaking waters.
