Holding head up

Hii, I just maybe need some reassurance. My baby turned 3 months today and he’s still not able to hold his head up confidently like it’s still wobbly at times and I still can’t hold him up for a long time without putting my hand on his back. He can hold his head up just not for long does this make sense? And is this normal 🙈

Every baby is different some babies hold their heads up faster than others and some just take a bit longer if you're concerned about it talk to your pediatrician

hey lovely, my boy is 4 months he’s only just about able to keep his head up still super wobbly though. I was also worried at 3 months but it’s all totally normal some babies just pass milestones differently just keep trying to teach them to hold their head up but it will come naturally tummy time is great and if u. feel he’s raising his legs higher than his head like a crab lol just support him by lightly holding his lower back so he’s not straining his back so much but it gives him the extra push to focus on his neck muscles xxx

Baby stopped moving

I am 39 weeks today and had my last scan this morning and it’s all good. Tonight I’ve noticed for the last hour or so no moving. I’m really scared cos usually he moves all day and night especially at night to the point I can’t sleep. I don’t know if I should wait or go if it’s only been around a hours time?
It says online not to prod and poke or have water cos it won’t mean anything I am sat in bed watching it but I really don’t know what to do!!
My tummy is just completely still. I was and have had Brixton hicks for ages and right now my tummy is rock hard but just nothing moving

Cervical checks?

Im pregnant with my first and I just went to my 37 week appointment. My pregnancy has been a healthy one but I did share some concerns I was having. She just brushed them off. Is it odd that I haven’t had any internal exams or checks? Everybody around me is saying they should’ve checked and made sure I was okay

C-section 🌺

Soo ive just heard from my midwife who said Ive been provisionally booked in for my C-section on the 26th October I’ll be 39+5. Very happy to wait but this is my 3rd C-section so assumed it would be slightly earlier. Anyone in the same boat?🩷

Name suggestions 🩷

We have another little girly due in March and we're really struggling with finding a name. Our first little girl is called Pashey (Pay-shee) so would like something quite unique to match hers. Please help 😂

Social event 😬

Would people go to a 7pm birthday party… for family they never actually see.. Either at 42 weeks … or freshly postpartum depending when baby comes…
