My son sounds really mucassy I feel awful. I use saline spray and a snot sucker several times a day but nothing helps it. When I’ve mentioned it to midwives/health visitors they just brush it off. Anyone else?

My eldest constantly sounded like he was congested for the first few months. My second is worse. His is related to his reflux (it's apparently a common symptom?) and the probably the fact that the toddler is constantly bringing home illnesses 😅
Are they still able to drink milk ok?
Unfortunately it's one of the many things that babies have due to their nasal passages being so small.
My boy constantly sounds like a hedgehog unless he's asleep haha

It's normal for the first weeks/months. Their respiratory system and digestive system are not fully developed and it sounds like that. My son sounded like a little piggy for a couple of months.

Mine has been the same, especially at night I also mentioned to HV at a weugh clinic and they said to get her into bathroom when I shower for the steam and as long as it doesn’t affect breathing it’s quite normal
My sweet baby made his arrival yesterday at 9:10 am weighing 7lbs 13oz and 19.5in long.

I had my daughter a 8 months ago, I told my husband that always had a baby girl named picked out since I was about 13 years old. And he was OK with it. He just changed the spelling which I’m not a huge fan but I still love her name.
Her first name is Sunni middle name Ella Rae. I don’t really love the Ella part or how Sunni is spelled I think it should be spelled as Sunnie so it makes more sense. A few people have commented on it, aka my mother-in-law to be specific. Did I choose a real name for my daughter?

I got into a car accident two days ago. I got abdominal pain couple hours after, so I went to the hospital, they checked me over and said everything seemed fine. I’ve had no bleeding and no pain since. However I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore. I’m 12 weeks and have another scan booked in for tomorrow. Am I over thinking this or can this be normal for how far along I am now ??!

I’m feeling wet down there - when looking looks milky with some wetness. When asking friends who’ve had babies already they said it’s normal as used to change knickers 2-3 times a day I’m just getting anxious.
Also sorry Tmi I’ve popped twice already before 7am - does this mean I’m getting ready for labour

Is VBAC worth it? I had an emergency c section the first time after being in labour for a while. Should I just have another c section or should I try vaginal birth?
