Health concern.. help?

To shorten this, I have been breast feeding for now 7 months. My appetite has decreased and I’m having to force myself to eat or I’ll forget. I’ve had to call EMS to my home because I almost passed out and their response was that I’m dehydrated? Anyways. I’ve been trying to push more fluids and food lately but since that recent health scare I feel my body just hasn’t recuperated? I’m drinking more water I’m eating more but I feel waves of being sick? My hair feels thinner and I’m convinced I’m anemic? I have a dr appointment in another week but I just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that’s had similar issues? 🫤 do I need to stop breast feeding?

Are you taking your prenatals still? Breastfeeding will definitely make you feel dizzy if you’re not eating or hydrating enough

Have you taken a pregnancy test?

And when you say you forget to eat, do you literally forget? Or do you just mean you’re not hungry, so you don’t eat, and then all of a sudden it’s 2pm and you haven’t eaten anything?

It’s good you’re going to see the doctor to figure this out!

16 week midwife app

In my notes for my 16 week appointment It says to attend alone, however I want my husband to hear the baby’s heartbeat if they offer, did anyone else attend with partners and find it was okay? Thanks x

3D ultrasound at 18 weeks?!

Did anyone do a 3D ultrasound at 18 weeks? Trying to figure out if it’s worth it or if it’s too early to have an enjoyable experience or see any of her features!

Birthday party without party bags?

I have been thinking about not giving a party bag on our next birthday party. What is your opinion around this?

Should I give one because children expect it? Or could I skip it?

The party is already expensive, it is in a softplay, with cake, food, shouldn't that be enough?
