Baby bored!

Does anyone else feel like their baby is fussy because of being bored of the house or am I just looking for reasons? 😂 the recent weather has had us indoors more, some days short walks in the morning but some days we aren’t even managing that. The days we don’t go out at all her evening fuss starts earlier at like 2.30 where none of her toys are doing the trick and I do just feel like it’s boredom but have no idea how to get around it!

Have you tried getting a helium balloon for her to hold while laying down? Or tied round her leg. Keeps my baby busy for ages kicking/ moving his arms around🤣 it’s become a monthly thing, he’s currently got a dinosaur one

Yep! My little one gets sooooo fussy in the house! She’s so much more content being out/ with other people

Yes! I have a toddler too who entertains the baby a lot so the days he’s at nursery my baby is constantly aggy 😂 he doesn’t find me anywhere near as fun!

Yes, especially if my partner is at work, I think she gets sick of the sight of me by the afternoon 😂 I just go sit down my parents half the time so my dad can entertain her for an hour

Yes!! I’m so glad it’s not just me who thinks this too. Going to start getting my brolley out on the rainy days and take my little one for a walk in the sling. Much much prefers it outdoors!! Xx

Had a private scan today!

I had a private scan today and it was so reassuring. Anyone who’s feeling a bit nervous, have a look at whether there’s somewhere close to you. It cost me £60 for a 15 minute appointment. I am 8 weeks and it’s incredible! You can see they already have 4 limbs and you can see the bones in the spine forming and the heartbeat is visable too! She reassured me that the yolk sack is in the right place etc too. Would highly recommend it! Picture for anyone who is also 8 weeks - your bubba will look very similar! 😍

5 month old woes

Has anyone else just lost it and had a bit of a yell at baby when they've been screaming non stop? Feel really bad after having a go but my LO was just non stop behind for no reason at all. So draining, I am finding 5 months harder than any other month so far.

Is there a polite way for me to refuse any further student midwifery involvement in my care?

I’m 37 weeks and every single student midwifery I have had , has struggled to find my babies heart beat, added quite a lot of stress by having to constantly leave the room to ask the senior midwives questions or to find baby, even student doctors can’t find baby’s heartbeat.

I’m a high risk pregnancy, need a delivery suite labour and I appreciate they have to learn / tick off so many births etc but I’m just a bit ansy and fed up now , I don’t want the unnecessary stress.

How can I politely decline the student midwifes seeing me in my next midwife appt in the community and for them not to be involved in my birth?

Pelvic pain… is this normal?

So I’ve been experiencing the worst discomfort, to the point it feels like my vag wants to rip open… the pressure is crazy. When I walk, I’m just waddling like a penguin and I can’t bend. It seems to hurt when I turn positions in bed, or any movement that involves me spreading my legs slightly I.e getting out of the car. Is this normal? I keep thinking I’m dilating or ready to push because of the pressure 😂I’m 35 weeks pregnant.
