Bump dropping

Hi! Im 33+5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My bump seems to have dropped today, I had my antenatal appointment yesterday and baby wasnt engaged.
Im just wondering when everyone's dropped and if this is too early? Should I be contacting the midwives? Im not in pain other than lightening crotch evey now and again, and baby moving like normal.

Thank you xx

Baby boy born 🩵

Hey ladies , I’ve had nearly 2 weeks of my boy now and I’ve realised I’ve not checked in on here at all . My boy was born 30th July at 3.44 weighing 6 pound 4 ! He was born 37+3 .

He had a tough start and came out extremely bruised , the doctors said they have never seen anything like it 🙈 but he’s all okay now and very content .

Thank you everyone for all your help and advice over the last 9 months .

Do people still go to birthday parties for kids in class?

My oldest is about to have his 4th birthday party and he has exactly 0 rsvp from kids at school. We sent 24 invitations and not a single response. When I talked to other parents in the class they said they don’t really get rsvps from the other parents they just show up or don’t but never communicate. Idk if this is a cultural thing/age thing/language thing or what. I even put the invite in English and Spanish. I know we have other kids from church and family coming but I still feel sad he will have no friends at school at his party

Gestational Diabetes

Have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I’m freaking out a little bit as don’t know what it means yet.

Strong movements

Don’t get me wrong, I love how active my baby is. But I can’t be the only one who feels a bit sick sometimes or it takes my breath away how strong some of her movements are?!🥴🤣

She just did such a big roll / or elbowed me, I don’t even know, but it made me feel so nauseous🫣

Finding out the gender???

Hey lovelies,

My partner wants to find the gender out but I don't want to. He won't be at the scan due to work. Would you find the gender out to please him or stick to your guns and not find out.

I want the surprise but I also don't want other people knowing even if I did find out... oh and he can't keep a secret (especially from his mum and she has a right big gob on her so everyone would know).

Snacks for hospital

You would think with this being my 3rd i would know what to pack by now 🙈 however, what snacks did people pack in their hospital bag? My 1st baby was covid and we were in for a week after he was born so i dont remember much of what snacks i packed. My 2nd ended up as a home birth as she was too eager to wait for hospital and arrived in 30mins 😂 so i didnt touch my bag for anything except clothes when we got to hospital lol.
Im trying to figure out whats best considering the heat atm i dont want anything that will spoil lol.
Please help x
