Mine is 10 weeks old and didn't smile until 8 weeks and still isn't doing it often! Unsure why as she's a very content baby, my last one smiled at 6 weeks

My nephew didn’t smile till around 10 weeks and he is completely fine! I would say make sure to talk to bubba as much as possible and pull all the funny faces 😂 my girl started at around 5 weeks but honestly every baby is different! Their milestones hit at different points and what one baby hasn’t started doing your baby might be doing, so I wouldn’t worry too much! But if you are concerned for your own peace of mind you can contact your health visitor and they can assess baby x

What’s the one thing you miss most before having a baby?

Personally for me, it’s sleeping whenever I want and for however long 😭
I know there will be different things, so post in the comments 🤍

Pregnancy Anxiety

I need some advice/tips on handling anxiety during pregnancy. I’m 16 weeks, have had 2 private + 2 nhs scans - I have had nothing to indicate something is going wrong however I can’t help but worry constantly that something bad is going to happen!

I felt a flutter/movement yesterday, but not today, so naturally I am spiralling again.

I just want to know if this is normal? When I have mentioned it to the midwife she tells me anxiety is normal for first time pregnancies but I don’t know if worry to this level is concerning or not?

Thank you 🙏

Is being too overprotective and 'spoiling' my baby really a bad thing?

I've been told I'm overprotective and spoiling my baby. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you handle it and feel confident in your parenting choices?

Postpartum period really heavy!

Has anyone else who previously had heavy cycles before having a baby or even not, struggled with an exceptionally heavy second period postpartum?

My first one was lighter than before having my little one and this second one is crazy! Super tampons are only lasting me 45 mins - hour.

I feel ok in myself but I wondered if anyone has had the same. Is this normal? I’m going to ask my GP Monday but I thought asking on here first would be helpful…
