We have a baby memory book from Etsy. It goes right up to they are 5 years old. Lots of space for pictures, memories and all their milestones. X

I’ll look into it thank you x

I just have a box for each of my children and everything goes in there. I can fit a lot in there and can always turn what I want into a scrap book later ☺️

We bought some self seallaminating pouches off Amazon for scans so that they don’t fade and now have them kept safe in a memory box. One scan I have in a photo frame alongside an imprint of my baby’s first hand and foot print mould x

I got a memory box from vinted. You can put first shoes, toy etc. I also have a little book to write memories. I went to a pottery place and made a baby footprint for fathers day that was a beautiful keepsake. I will make some Christmas ornaments too

I got a box from hobby craft. Painted it and ordered a name badge off etsy. Put everything inside and just add bits to it for all her firsts

I took pictures of them with my phone and then had the actual pictures done by freeprints they do magnetic pictures , I choose heart shape magnet pictures and they look very cute on my fridge ☺️ 😍

Involuntary arm flings

Hey moms, my 6 month old keeps on having these involuntary arm flings on his one arm. I am wondering if it is totally normal?
The reason I’m concerned is because one week ago I had a fall while wearing him in the carrier which was a huge scare. At the hospital they did all the checks including an ultrasound of the brain through his Fontanelle which showed everything was completely as it should be, and he had no signs of the fall at all. But since then I noticed the arm movements and can’t remember if it happened before, it’s totally normal that it’s happening and if I’m being a bit paranoid post trauma from the fall, or it could be linked in any way that I need another opinion?
Advice please!

Elective C Section experiences/thoughts?

Due to get induced due to low Papp-a 40+1 but I really don’t want an Induction so I’m starting to consider an elective csection instead so I still have positive experience alongside more control?

Cramping at 8 weeks

I’ve had a lot of period type cramps the last few days. They’re noticeable but not unbearable. I am 8 weeks 3 days, but anywhere between 7,5and 8,3 realistically. I can’t remember having cramping with my first, and this has got me worried.
