Bad backs?!

How are the big baby mums coping with carrying, rocking to sleep and obviously just generally picking up their babies?! Are we all just resigned to having bad backs forever now?! I keep thinking of the years ahead of lifting and carrying and thinking surely my aches can’t get any worse LOL. Am I the only one?! Any tips?!!

Omg this is so me, my baby is 7.7kg and has just turned 3 months old, don’t know how I’ll cope in another 3 months!

Oh honey, take a break when back aches at night and let dad rock the baby to sleep, you're doing it the whole day already. On a second note, you'll keep picking up that child even later when heavier than 20 kg at 3yr old if they cry and you'll not think for a second of back pain. Welcome to motherhood

Had my first scan yesterday at 10 weeks 5 days 🤰

Surreal experience. Baby looking healthy & could hear it’s beautiful heart beat 😭 the sonographer could tell the sex already, couldn’t believe it 🙈 but does anyone else still feel super anxious even though theyve been reassured its looking good, can’t stop thinking it’s still early days and my minds still overthinking & praying 24/7.

My 12 weeks scan is on the 6th and I can’t wait already🤰🥜 the sickness and nausea has been HELL from 6 weeks 🤮 really hope it stops going into the 2nd trimester 🤞🏼🥺

Elective cs date

I am waiting for a date for my elective C-section at the JR Oxford. I am 38+3 and still no date.

Anyone had similar? When did you get your date and how many weeks/days will you be when you have the surgery?
