Going out
Hi,
Might be a silly question but I'm a ftm and my baby is 4 weeks, me and my mum are going to a garden centre and want to take the baby, my question is, is that okay?
Did anyone else take their baby out at 4 weeks?

Totally fine š«¶š» both my babies have been in supermarkets, cafes, friends houses etc before 4 weeks old. Itās good for you to get out too! X
No question is silly!!
Everyone is different and do what you feel is best for you- we went out for Sunday lunch when my little one was 1 week old and we have been all over since (harder to stay in when you also have a toddler) be good for you to get out too š„°
Yes no problem at all. We have been to appointments and the shops
Yes plenty of parents have to do things like the school run. Also we had to go to the drs the 1st day as they couldnāt do a home visit.
Iāve literally had to go back to hospital twice in less than 2 weeks with my baby, so Iām pretty sure the garden centre is fine for a 4 week old, I just try and stay away from people and like smokers outside
Fine. I took mine at 2 days old!
Yes fine, you can take them out straight away! No need to stay inside

Removing pram bassinet
Has anyone moved their baby from the bassinet to the pram seat yet? I know it says 6 months but depending on head/ neck strength. Wondering how early this can be done. My LO has bad reflux and hates the bassinet so being able to move from the bassinet to the seat would probably help her a lot!

Words of encouragement
Guys I guess I just need some words of encouragement right now. Iām really going through it at the moment. Iām 39+3 and I feel like Iām in the first trimester again. Iām so over this honestly I just want this baby out š Iām trying to remain positive and patient but itās really getting to me. Iāve started vomiting again, I open my bowels every time I eat, I have insomnia (hence why Iām awake at this time ) every night, every time I walk I feel like sheās about to burst through my pelvis. Iām so tired š

Dr checks ?
Iām seeing lots of people on here asking how their 6 week checks went & 8 week jabs etc, do they contact us or do we need to call to book this in?
Baby is 5 weeks + 2 days so 6 week check should be near and I havenāt heard anything.
What does the 6 week check include?
(With my drs you canāt book in advance you have to call 8:30am for a same day appointment)

C-section vs vaginal birth
Iām expecting my first baby in around 6 weeks, Iāve always planned on a natural birth, Iām low risk, my birth plan states no intervention unless medically necessary for most issuesā¦ but now Iām getting closer Iām considering a planned C-section because Iām seeing that there are risks involved both ways, but with a C section there isnāt potentially 48+ hours of excruciating pain, and there isnāt the risk of tearingā¦ I know recovery isnāt easy, but 1 in 4 births end in emergency c section these days anyway and Iād rather it be planned than rushedā¦ but then am I just being a chicken? I donāt know what to do.
