First birthday party

Has anyone stupidly left it last minute and can only get a venue for their baby’s first birthday on their actual birthday (weekend). did you regret this? Annoyed at myself but trying to weigh up if I will look back and wish I didn’t do it on their actual birthday (with sorting the venue etc)

Why would you not do it on their actual birthday or as close to?

For my daughter we had a party the weekend before. For my son, we're just having a chilled time as a family as we cant afford a party this time round.

I'm sure nobody will remember the date of the party when you look back at photos later in life.

I'm so confused

Surely this is the best of both worlds as you can have an intimate celebration on his birthday?

Horrendous heartburn and sickness

Just sat up in bed right now after a heartburn disaster, I’m 36+5 and been having it for a week or two now, always have a small sip of gaviscon before bed but tonight it didn’t work. Woke up didn’t feel good, (luckily I keep a bowl by my bed due to hyperemesis)
Still tried to get to the toilet in time but I didn’t make it and it’s the first time heartburn has actually made me physically sick and it was so much worse then any of my HG sickness as it felt like pure fire.
Partner came and rescued me with my rennies and a cold glass of water and getting me off the bathroom floor of course

But now I’m scared to lay down in bed incase it happens again

Failed sweep now cramping

I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.

Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?

Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

Stay at home Mum and ill

What are we doing as stay at home mums when we’re extremely ill. I can hardly get off the toilet, I’m throwing up a lot, I hardly feel like I can do anything and be a mum I’m exhausted can’t eat any slight movement is a sickness wave and I feel so bad. My toddler is 17 month old so it’s not like he just sits there he’s constantly on the move and wanting me. Any suggestions on what I could be doing I’m honestly feeling so guilty
