Pulling to stand

My 6.5 month old has been pulling to stand the past week or two. I have read a lot that babies this young really shouldn’t be standing because of the position
makes them hurt their joints, but we are not forcing him in this position. He’s doing it himself just wondering if anybody has experienced this with their babies if you have seen it affecting them? Should I be stopping him when he does it or encourage him to do it?

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?

20w Anatomy Scan

I had my 20w anatomy scan on Friday and although they said everything looked well, I was told that baby girl is measuring on the lower centile and they booked us in for another growth scan in about 2 weeks which has got me worried as a first time mum. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and everything turned out okay?

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?

Potential miscarriage

Has anyone had similar and then has gone on to have a viable pregnancy? Today I have had some light bleeding when I wipe. I called the early maternity unit and they said to come down for a scan. According to the NHS dating I am 8 weeks pregnant but that’s based on my last period. Based on my conception dates (I know which dates we had sex) I am 6 weeks. They said I’m measuring 6 weeks and baby is 3mm but they couldn’t see a heartbeat. When they say you’re measuring 6 weeks do they take in consideration that you’re not actually 8 weeks based on your period? I have another scan booked on 10/08 which feels so far away
Has anyone had anything similar and gone back and had a heartbeat?
