Creeped out

Currently 28 weeks pregnant and have felt movement since around 17 weeks. I still get uncomfortable and creeped out at the fact I have a baby moving around. My stomach turns when she can be very active. I feel concerned I’m not bonding and only feeling more distant. Anyone else feel like this?

It can definitely feel icky. Try to pretend it’s just intense gas bubbles. Don’t pressure yourself about bonding! I didn’t truly bond with my baby until weeks after she was born and we got to know each other ❤️

Yeh I hated being pregnant. It's not for everyone! Love my little babies though😊😊

i absolutely understand. with my first everything felt super creepy &’ just… WEIRD. i bonded with my babies perfectly fine. may even say im obsessed lol. it’s awesome you’re attentive to your body/self!

Honestly don't psyche yourself out about the bonding, I didn't feel properly bonded to my first until a few weeks out the womb. Always felt like an alien and then it was just total overwhelm at first when he was born, the bonding just came to me a bit more gradually than to others I think but I honestly couldn't love him more now ☺️

Mounjaro mums need advice

I’m on week 4 of 2.5mg and I keep seeming to have the same issue - nothing sounds or looks good to eat so I tend to forget to eat then I go past the point of hunger and feel sick and dizzy then I can’t stomach any food. Any advice on how best to deal with? Perhaps meal prep small meals or no carbs so it’s light? Any advice welcome

Long post alert. I have no idea what to do (I do but feel in a stuck position)

I need help on whats the right choice. I know its only going off this but I have absolutely no idea what to do. Sorry for the long post too and thanks for reading it.

I'm 6 months PP from my second c section. It was a difficult spinal (took about 5 attempts to get it in the right place). I've been experiencing lower back pain (normal) but with that a loss of sensation in one of my feet (new) went to the GP. Got a referral for a scan. I then went back within a week to the GP cause my whole leg lost sensation (new) she recommended A&E cause of this progression. I refused (I have 2 young children and on my own at the time) so she fast tracked my scan. I got one last sunday. So today I've been out (done nothing out of the norm) but been having extremely uncomfortable pain in my back that is also in my pubic area, feels like period cramps but I know it cant be as I've just had my period about a week ago. I did the 111 online got a phone call from the nurse (she was lovely) I told her I want to avoid A&E if possible. Explained everything to her so passed it onto the out of hours GP worst person ever. Point blank ignored didnt hear a word I said. He saw "back pain" and asked me what medication i wanted "I can prescribe anything you want. Thats what I'm here for" literally his words. The nurse was saying youre showing some red flags but see what this person says. They might want to see you. Nope just a guy saying "Lovely" a lot and asking me like he's a generic drug dealer. As I've technically been told I should go but I find it hard when I have a 6 month old and a 1 year old and they're both asleep in bed.

I'm due to see the GP again on Tuesday (today is Saturday) do I just wait it out or go down? As they're worried but not majorly concerned that it could be Cauda Equina Syndrome but cause I'm refusing hospital trying to manage it in the community. I genuinely feel like I'd be wasting everyone's time at the hospital cause I can still function and do things. Also when it comes to pain, I know what pain is but I really struggle to understand the severity of pain (sounds weird I know) I'm already on 2 nerve blockers due to existing nerve damage to my lower legs

If the law changed and you HAD TO give your baby a combination of the surnames of both parents on the birth certificate, how would you do it?

Hyphenating not allowed! Examples: Smith and Jones. Explanations below:

1) Shove the two together eg Smithjones or Jonessmith
2) Merge the two eg Smones or Jonith
3) Scramble the names eg Smonith or Jomies
4) Reverse reverse eg Senojhtims or Htimsseimoj

Getting Induced… advice

I’m getting induced on Tuesday (didn’t with my first)
What should I expect? Any advice or tips please?? Did your birth end in a natural or c-section?
