Growing up

Is it just me who can’t cope with my child growing up too fast? People say ‘it goes so quick i know’ with a smile on their face but i’m literally drowning in my tears as I can’t cope with how quick it went and how much i miss it. He is only 4 and i feel like i won’t be able to cope with nostalgia and regrets.

Don’t get me wrong i’m so proud of who he is becoming and how well he’s growing up 🥹

I cried last night as it’s my daughters birthday in January and I realised that she will no longer be able to count her age on one hand and will need to use two as she’s going to be 6. Ugly cried! I could of sworn she was born yesterday 😭

It is overwhelming to me how fast it's going. I felt this in my soul.

My son wanted to sleep in his own bed the other day and i ugly cried. He just turned 6 but he will always be my baby. It goes by too quickly.

My daughter (9) recently told me “times going by so fast I wish I was still a baby”, and that was a reality check for me. 🥲😩

I want my baby to be a baby forever Y.Y I get it! Let’s cry 😭
I do my best by keeping myself on the present because nowadays everything ages fast.

Disagreement about baby's surname

Hello, can anyone advice please?

I dont want to give my daughter my partners surname. It's nothing to do with him, all to do with what I stand for and my morals.

Ive suggested double barrelling which he says it doesn't sound right, which tbh it doesn't. And I've suggested changing all our names to a completely made up one which he doesn't seem too happy about either.

Any advice please?

Baby growth scan

Went for my 35 weeks scan last weeks and they estimated baby at 2.4kg at 35 + 4. All my pregnancy apps show this is the exact weight to expect for this time but at the scan the doctor said he would like me to have another scan in 2 weeks. They said the baby is in the average but on the small side of the average. I know these estimates are not super accurate but wondered if this happened to anybody else ?

Anyone gone past 42 week?

Hi induction booked for weds. Might have to push back. They have said baby will have extra monitoring. Has anyone done this?

Periods!

A bit of a long shot, but I’m just looking for a bit of advice - I had my second baby in April this year. After having her, everything was fine. My periods quickly returned to my normal cycle, I started back on Desogestrel in the May. However in August, I randomly got 2 periods in one month. My cycle now is just bleeding more than not, my doctors are saying that it’s just hormones, however I never once experienced this with my first - and it is full blown bleeding, having to double up with pads due to it being so heavy and the pain is unreal ☹️ does anybody have any advice ?!
