Head flopped backwards
Mums, has this ever happened to you?
My 9-week-old was being held upright and for a second I took my hand away from supporting his upper back/neck. He suddenly flopped backwards quite far and it really scared me. He seemed completely fine afterwards and has been acting normally.
I know babies this age still have wobbly head control, but has anyone else had a similar moment? I think I just need some reassurance 😭

I mean yeah my 4.5mo has bendy moments but should definitely still be supporting at that age. I still support mine when they get tired of holding their head up
This happens quite often to me 😅
my baby held his head up the moment he was put on my chest at like 2 seconds old. but he still had a floppy head occasionally and continued too until about 3/4 months !! it was probably just unexpected to him that you were moving. and like you said, they don’t have great control !! he is okay and will be okay I promise you mama 🩵
babies do this all the time, they are just learning to balance. don't worry! if something is wrong you will know and they will tell you very clearly and unequivocally

Labour?
Contractions have been regular then seemed to taper off a bit. Screenshot from my app. Is this actually labour? Each contraction is very painful and im sort of trying to breathe through them but also sometimes having to moan. I'm shattered as I've not slept a wink so far tonight as its been ongoing on and off all evening/night. Should I call triage and ask to be seen? Don't want a wasted 40min journey 🙈

Successful VBAC welcome to the world!
Waters broke at 36 plus 4, after 36 hours of labour, including the most intense contractions and pushing that I thought was impossible (you’ve got this ladies!) followed being cut open and stitched back up to get her out when she was stuck, my darling daughter Loretta was born at 5 pounds 5 🩷
Second time round and still the best feeling in the world, holding your newborn for the first time 🥹🥹🥹
