Son not invited to party

I meet another single mum on mat leave and we kept in contact, kids going to the same nursery etc.

It was her little ones 3rd birth day so
I wished him happy birthday on what’s app. I only knew as she put it as a status.

She then messaged back with all the parties he’s having…. So I clarified if my little one wasn’t invited (I kinda don’t know why she was telling me as I didn’t ask).

She said no he wasn’t. I said no worries.
I told her I was hurt as I thought we were closer and that our kids did play together etc…. And she didn’t acknowledge my hurt feels but was just more practical saying she just wanted a smaller party.

Things haven’t been the same since and I don’t bother to message her etc but to be honest I was finding her behaviour a little odd anyway.

It’s now my son’s birthday, would it be ok if I invite her son or are they not close so I don’t bother?

I’m getting nowhere with nursery and his close friend has recently left for another nursery so I’m a bit lost.

Aaargh, baby’s turned up 🫠

Was feeling very smug as baby’s been sitting beautifully head down from 28 weeks, right in the pelvis… had an appointment this morning at 34 weeks and she’s turned breech! I could already tell as I felt the head high up, and the kicking has felt different. Has this happened to anybody else, and did babe turn back again? I was hoping for a VBAC, but I draw the line at a breech VBAC 😅

Reduced foetal movement pathway

Hello everyone,

I am 25w1d and still have not felt baby move (anterior placenta).
I am now on the reduced foetal movement pathway- which is reassuring in one way as i am getting frequent monitoring, on the other hand has made me feel even more anxious.

I suppose I am just feeling very alone with everything- and just reaching out to see if anyone has been through the same?

Perineal massage

Does anyone actually do the perineal massage? I’m 37 weeks and 3 days and to be honest, I’m struggling to get it done. I find it uncomfortable and when it comes to doing it after a bath/ shower, I just want to settle down and relax rather than do that 🥲 I obviously don’t want to have a bad tear either if I manage to have a vaginal birth. What are everyone’s thoughts?

First time mam packing hospital bag essentials

First time mam here, I’m currently packing my hospital bag if you get a second would you mind dropping down below things I need I do have bits and bobs but feeling abit over whelmed for example how many nappies/grows do I need in what sizes should I take? I’m due in December ❤️

Moderate placenta risk? Anyone else?

So I had my 16 week midwife appointment today and she told me I needed to have 2 extra scans as I have a moderate placenta risk which was news to me 😩

This is my second pregnancy, first was twins I had scans every 4 weeks with them bur don’t remember them ever saying this with them. No history of preeclampsia in the family, BMI was ok at first appointment . 12 week scan they said everything was all good.
Midwife didn’t seem to know why… the only thing I can think of is my previous c-section with the twins or the fact I’m 33 and am an ex smoker/vaper however before this pregnancy I was only a light vaper… it surprised me a bit.
has anyone else had this?

Baby names!!

Me and my husband are struggling to agree on a baby name!! It’s driving me insane. We agreed on one which I love and now he’s saying he doesn’t like it?!!!
