At what age was your baby holding the head independently?

I see lots of babies on social media already holding their head and mine only lifts it briefly for a few seconds on tummy time and for a second when holding her upright.
Also she’s not rolling yet.
Just turned 3 months .

Should I be worried my obgyn is acting sketchy?

I went for my anatomy scan she said baby girl is perfect. But then referred me for a 2nd anatomy scan to check for placental problems. I asked was there signs of any issues and she said it’s just a precaution. But many of my mom friends say they haven’t had to get a 2nd opinion and feel she should have be more straight forward.

Contacting hospital before arrival for labour UK

Hi guys, I was wondering how I’d go about calling the maternity unit at the hospital to let them know I’m in labour in preparation of a water birth. I was told by my midwife to contact them once I start labour but unsure whether I’d call 999 or triage as it wasn’t clear in the conversation.

Baby hates water

My 7 month old hates water, I have tried everything and there is no way he will drink any water at all, just spits it out.
Any recommendation? x

6 weeks post-partum and infection

I had a vaginal birth but had a second degree tear and also had stitches for a vaginal wall repair. Healing has been sore but i'd say with time has got better but this past week i've had green discharge and it has become uncomfortable, I think from wearing some form of pad for the last 6 weeks as they tend to irritate my skin down there? Though I can't not wear one because of the discharge and occasional lochia etc though that is clearing now.
It is the weekend so I'm stuck until Monday now but is there anything I can do? I'm keeping clean and not using soaps down there etc but I think it might need anti-biotics and I'm not exactly keen on having someone look at it🫠
