Ooo how are you thinking of doing the diy advent calendar? That sounds good

Every year I do baking Christmas Eve and now rope my youngest into making. Last year we did brownie Xmas trees and a chocolate wreath. We watch the snowman and polar express Xmas Eve and Xmas films all through December. Xmas Eve we go for a drive and see the lights and have a Burger King. We do a Boxing Day tea. We usually see Santa and make it a day out although mines a little old now for it. I also did Christmas window art and my daughter did her window.

My girls are older now but I've now got a nearly 1 year old
We've always done matching festive pjs. I do festive not Xmas then they can be worn all year lol

We do advent calendars and a diy one that I've always put chocolate coins in

We do xmas eve boxes

We do a make a gingerbread house on xmas eve !

Ct scans on baby’s 🩺🩻

My child is only 7 weeks old and at a toddler group a child decided to come and kick my child in the head

Since then we have been in the A&E department

I wanted to know if anyone else has gone through this or have had to give their kids CT scans and how you felt about the situation or radiation that comes with it

Would help my anxiety currently 🙏🫶🏻🩻

Pre term labour symptoms

Has anyone else been experiencing period type cramps , backache , diarrhoea, pressure down there ect I’ve been having this on and off for the last week

I need help!😂

So today I found out that I’m having another baby girl. I’m posting as incognito as I haven’t had my gender reveal yet (I wanted to find out first before I celebrated with my family) with my first daughter I didn’t find it this hard to choose a name.
My daughter’s name is Darcie so I need girl names that suit her name if that makes sense. I’m not fussed if it doesn’t start with a “D” or end in “ie”🩷

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you🥰

Measuring large

What’s everyone experience with measuring larger? To put things into perspective every scan I’ve had I’ve been measuring larger and the follow up appointments with my midwife id just get told that baby had likely just had a growth spurt early… my first time being measured fundally at my midwife appointment I was measuring 2 weeks ahead and was told the same again. Second time I was measuring on time but baby was back to back with me and at my last appointment last week I’m measuring 3 weeks ahead at 37cm (37 weeks). Now been booked in for a glucose test but never had any glucose in my urine, I’ve also tested my blood sugar the whole pregnancy and it’s never had any unusual spikes. I’ve always thought I looked much larger than other women and constantly getting “you’re huge” comments. Anxious for my scan on Monday, and wondered what others outcomes were… did it end up meaning anything? Did you end up needing to be induced? I’ve noticed my bump has dropped quite a bit and the pelvic pain is insane at the moment, pain takes my breath away. This is my first baby so I’m just curious what this means, do I need to prepared for an early arrival? Help 😂😭

Opinions on the name “Cjay” for a boy?!

Me and my partner picked this name before we had even fallen pregnant!
Now we are 22 weeks and the more I use it the less sure I am 😬

My family’s reaction hasn’t been great which doesn’t help 🥲

Second pregnancy feeling exhausted

Just wana see if anyone else is going through the same, this is my second baby I’m pregnant with and I have a 2 year old. This pregnancy has flawed me, I literally have no energy and I’m so tired. I feel so guilty not doing much with my 2 year old but I just don’t have the energy😩 she does go to nursery and my family take her swimming etc but like today I have her on my own and I don’t have the energy to take her out
