So I’m turning 30 in a couple months and have no idea if I should be doing anything. Haven’t celebrated a birthday in a few years but I feel like I wanna make turning 30 special. I feel like it will be a huge turning point in my life as I want to start doing new things, improving my health, trying to be a better parent, focusing on myself etc etc so I kind of want to make my 30th as a beginning of those things. Don’t have friends or much family around. Will be with my husband, baby and toddler. Something fun? I feel like I’ll end up doing something the kids love😂 cos what do we do with us 4. Dinner? But we do that anyway😩 Any idea will be appreciated x

I booked my partner a skydiving experience for his 30th next year. We will all go and he will skydive and then we will go get some lunch as he will have to do it in the summer and not the winter as his birthday is in February but on the day we will spend it with his family and have good food and a laugh. Spend your birthday however you want x

What do you enjoy? Or what do you want to start off doing for yourself? Maybe a spa weekend. Or a night away. A treatment you've never had? Dinner is lovely. But you can go for dinner anytime

Im in a similar position with very few friends. This year I took myself away to South Wales to walk waterfalls visit Portmarion and have a spa day.

Oh im turning 37 next year on the 17th of May, and my son's birthday is on the 26th of April. I could tell you when the last time I celebrated my birthday was; it's been a year, and now it's really hard because my son's dad chooses not to see his son, and my family lives in London. And by the time I celebrate my son's birthday, I don't do anything for myself because it's 2 weeks after his. Maybe I try to find a child-friendly hotel with a spa, and my partner can join me.
Ahhhh ladies, HELP A MOMMA OUT! 😂😭 I have absolutely NO idea what to do for my birthday in December, but I really want to do something special for myself this year since I barely got to celebrate last year. 🥹💕
My husband is already planning to hold down the fort with the kiddos while I get my hair and nails done a few days before my birthday. Bless that man! 😂 But now I'm over here trying to figure out what ELSE to add to the birthday agenda. LOL!
The truth is, I rarely ever do anything special for myself. I barely go out, don't really have friends nearby to hang out with (LMAOO, when my husband is at work or out running errands, I guess I'm just my own bestie and my own social life! 😭😂). Most of my time is spent being a wife and mama, and don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my little family to pieces! But sometimes this mama just wants to get dressed up, look cute, take some pretty pictures, go somewhere nice, laugh, have a good time, and actually feel like I'm celebrating ME for once! 🥹💕
I'm thinking maybe a little getaway, a spa day, a nice dinner, or something fun we can all enjoy as a family. BUTTTT we are also trying to keep things budget-friendly because apparently getting my hair and nails done wasn't enough for this birthday girl. 😭💸 Lord, why am I like this?!
I want to feel like a birthday queen without having my bank account filing a missing person report. 😂😂
So ladies, PLEASE don't judge me, just HELP ME! What are some fun, affordable birthday ideas for a mama of two and her husband? I'm honestly at a loss and need some inspiration because clearly, planning is not my ministry. 😭😂🎂💕

We welcomed our little boy in August and have been told that unfortunately I will not be able to carry another baby, I was so in love with my Baby Girl name and wanted to share and hopefully it can be used!

I had an emergency c-section September 1st and I’m still not fully healed. Doc says I’m just having a slow recovery and should do some pelvic floor PT. Anyone else experience this? I’m still in a good bit of pain daily.

Anyone else getting awful acid reflux? I know this is common but it’s too the point that I’ve been a little sick as it’s been burning and come up. I don’t eat 2-3 hours before laying down and still bothering me. I’m taking Gaviscon but not the liquid form. I have been told the liquid is a lot better and if that doesn’t work to go to the doctor for something stronger. Anyone else had this and advice please! Is it worth contacting the doctor or do they just give you the same as gaviscon?

Just wondering how often your LO change sizes? My LG is currently wearing size 7 and it’s been like this for a year now and it still looks like she’s very comfortable in her current size (runs and walks fine, no blisters etc) don’t know if I’m overthinking it and expecting a growth spurt soon
