All I can do is laugh sometimes.
The backchat, the shouting at me. She has such an attitude and is a diva. I wonder when this phase will end. 🙃
She also has this sweet caring loving side.
Just wondered how you all are getting on with your 2023 babies.

Yep, my early Jan 2024 baby is very much turning into a mini teen. This phase of the terrible twos is completely different to the first phase. The things she comes out with (I can only assume she picks up some things from nursery) and the shouting and tantrums is crazy. And when I tell her not to do something she just laughs....
I'm not gonna lie, I'm exhausted. 🤦♀️

My daughter sounds exactly like yours. It’s a rollercoaster that’s for sure 😂

You could have wrote this about my daughter 😂 It's hilarious at times but some days I'm like 💀💀 it can be exhausting x
Did you notice any signs or anything before labor started?
I’m 39 weeks and a day and I’ve had the runs with everything I eat and felt a bit sick yesterday. Really hoping things kick off naturally and I don’t need to be induced. I’m a first time mom so not a clue what to expect.
I feel like I’ve been losing my mucus plug for weeks so don’t think that will be a sign unless it becomes a bit bloody.
Is it right that your waters don’t have to go first and you can just start with contractions?

I have always loved nature based names, but now I'm finally about to become a mum, my chosen names are becoming so popular!
Here are my top names, but we are also considering them for first and middle names.

How long after did you apply the silicone scar strips over the c section? I’m 3 weeks PP now and I’m wondering if there is anything else I can do to help it?

How is everyone doing now we're getting to the final weeks or days for some?
For me the heartburn and indigestion is unbearable. But I think the part I find worse is the restless legs which have cranked up 10 notches! I'm exhausted but I just can't sleep for it. Anyone else?
I've also had a couple of episodes of sickness and diarrhoea in the last two weeks, never had that with my first two.
Just feeling very ready to have baby rather than bump.
How is everyone else doing?

I’m 6 weeks 3 days today I’ve had no bleeding until just now… my pants are black but when pressing tissue on them there’s blood and when I wiped there was blood now. Is this normal? I’ve had no cramping etc

Hello!
My first birth ended up in an emergency c section and this time round I have opted for an elective c-section.
What is everyone packing in their hospital bags? And how did you make it easier for you whilst you were in hospital?
