My baby just made 3 months and I have to left her with anyone neither. Im just not comfortable doing so just yet.
I left my baby with her dad (we’re together) at 4mo. But with family I believe it wasn’t until 1yo
I left baby with dad few times and im an exclusively pumping mum. Usually 45 mins maximum at like 3/4 weeks. Ive left my wee man with my mum at like 9/10 weeks for like an hour or so for a dental appointment. I only did so as I felt comfortable doing so. Do not let anyone pressure you into it. My in-laws have been pushing- hinting they wanted to keep the baby when he was like 2 weeks old. Absolutely not as I was not comfortable and plus they've medical issues which restrict this ie epilepsy with recent seizures. Just do what you feel you and baby will cope with. If your baby is quite fussy and needs alot of contact to sleep etc id maybe think this through as you dont want them distressed or yourself. But also remember momma you need to look after yourself too so if you need an hour or so then do it. You can't pour from an empty cu0

Is it a bad idea to watch "one born every minute" when pregnant?
So I am 16 weeks and 5 days now and I want to try to prepare myself for what's to come. I have had mixed reactions to the idea of watching child birth docs/TV shows such as one born every minute. What do people think? I have never seen the show before myself, Will this be helpful or am I going to scare myself? 😂😂

Fibroids and home birth?
I’ve got a small fibroid but even though it’s small the consultant still recommended I don’t home birth. The home birth team don’t seam concerned and are still happy for me to go ahead…. it’s higher risk of haemorrhaging but after doing research I can actively manage this by getting the placenta out straight away… I’m not worried, if I have to go to hospital so be it ,but I’d rather try to continue with a home birth as planned. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Breach at 38 weeks
Baby has been engaged at every scan from 28 weeks, last one at 36 weeks and was 3/5 engaged!
Last night I fet baby move and im sure theyve turned breach, whole bottom of my stomach feels empty, kicks feel like they're in my lower tummy and rock hard under my ribs.
I have another growth scan tomorrow and was scheduled for a sweep straight after but I dont think that will go ahead now.
Can baby be turned this far along still?
Absolutely petrified of the thought of a cesarean, (i actually passed out at them just describing one when I went to labour classes with my first born)
