How are people feeling?

I’m almost 27 weeks and work full time in a bakery so on my feet all day. I’ve been mostly ok up until now but suddenly feeling huge and so tired! Just moving around feels a struggle and there’s still the third trimester to go eep. I hope it eases. Hope November’s to be are doing ok X

Kissing baby

So many parents tell visitors or others to not kiss their newborn due to HSV risk and your child’s developing immune system. What is the common age people change this rule? Or do you not ever outside of yourself/partner? Wondering what’s reasonable :)

NEW BIRTHDAY TRADITION

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!

My grandads bday is tomorrow August 7th and mine is August 8th. Since he is no longer with us, August 7th is always so hard for me as I await my day. This year….. instead of crying I want to do things differently. If you share an August 7th birthday with my grandfather, please comment your name below.

Tomorrow afternoon once I have plenty of names, I will randomly draw one via online system. If your name is drawn, you can choose between $50 cashapp or a cake OR $50 food gift card to be sent to you electronically/doordash!

GOD BLESS! Comment comment!

WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW!

Postpartum

I’m not due for another 8 weeks but I still have some postpartum items from my first pregnancy is it okay if I just use those or should I buy new items ? I had my first baby end of may 2025

Unsettled baby

My baby is 11 weeks today and it has been such a hard day. Her wake windows are around an hour long, she is like the happiest baby ever for around 15 minutes and then it is like someone has flicked a switch and she is screaming and so hard to settle. This is every wake window. Has anyone else’s little ones gone through this, I feel like I can’t go out anywhere and I feel so overwhelmed when I’m on my own all day

Phantom?

So I am 8 months PP and recently I have been feeling movements in my belly, there's no way I am pregnant again, so I was just wondering if its phantom kicks, or my uterus moving? I don't know. Has anyone else experienced this?

Baby reduce movements etc

Hey so this more of a rant/ has anyone else experienced this… so I’m 35 weeks pregnant baby is over 7 pounds so far and have gestational diabetes for the second time … last baby was 10 pound at birth … Went in for reduced movements twice in the past week and a bit .. spend three days in the second time , for 3 different consultants to say something different to each other. One minute it’s yes to getting baby out and the next no. Even tho it’s still less movements now… I just feel so confused and lost with it all as I know it’s classed as pre labour etc but what do they do if it happens again and I’m only 36 weeks … do they then get baby out or not? Sorry for the rant…
