Rolling - help!

My baby is 5 months tomorrow. She is fantastic at rolling onto each of her sides. She has occasionally rolled from back to front (hasn’t even attempted front to back). I have assisted her in doing it where she rolls and holds her head really well (pushing up on her arms too). But now - won’t even attempt it and is pushing back on me when I try to help her. I’m worried she should be rolling completely by now? Any tips? (I’ve tried putting toys out of reach etc) or anyone experiencing the same?

Following as I'm curious also -
My LO is 22 weeks old, hates tummy time, loves slamming her feet and isn't interested in doing any rolling what so ever 😂
All she does is hold her feet and rocks for now x

My tip is - let her be 😅 She will do it when she’s ready. I was questioning the same a few months ago, as my boy was a very late roller. He started walking unassisted 11 months old! 5 months old is still early, let her practice by herself and she will surprise you when you least expect it x

My little boy is also 5 months tomorrow and is in exactly the same place with rolling

Name help!!!

We are STRUGGLING to pick a baby boy name.

We don’t want anything “cute”, he has got to grow up to be a man with this name so something timeless unique but also crazy.

We have narrowed down to “Silas” and “Marcel” at the moment.

But I am not obsessed with any name at all!! Baby is due in 4 weeks 🥹

Early labour?

I’m 5 days overdue and looking for any signs of labour. Been feeling quite queasy today which is unusual for me. Did anyone have this and it turned into labour or am I looking into it too much?

NHS vs Private Scan

Has anyone experienced discrepancies between nhs and private scans? 12 days ago the EPU assessed me as 5 weeks 2 days as they could see the gestational sac and a yolk. I had a private scan today and they said I was only 5 weeks 3 days, even though I now also have a 3.1mm embryo. I’m so confused!

Boy names 🩵

Me and my partner are so stuck on boy names, we just can’t find one that really sticks out like our first boys did.

We have Oakley with the middle name Beau but we need some suggestions for our second boy, please drop any suggestions 🩵

Pressure in my butt

All day I’ve been getting like the most intense pressure in my butt like I’m literally seconds from pooping myself, it lasts for maybe a minute or two then goes. When I’ve went to the loo after, I haven’t actually needed to poop. Anyone else having this? It’s sooo uncomfortable!! 34w today!
