Pregnancy pillow recommendations!

Hi all, I’m 12+3 and tend to sleep on my back which I know I’ll need to stop doing! Anyone got any recommendations for pregnancy pillows? Thinking about a U shaped one but not sure where to start. Thanks! :)

I got a massive u shaped one and it literally saved my sanity. I ordered it off amazon. My only regret was never having bought a pillow case for it which you can do. I just felt like it would have been nice to have it feel fresh with the change of sheets. My poor husband though, no idea if he fitted in the bed or not. I assume he did but I don't remember checking lol

I purchased a cheap body pillow and I couldn’t sleep without it, while I was pregnant I was uncomfortable to sleep but the pillow helped me sleep. :) the only shit thing was it was nearly impossible to get a pillowcase for it none of them fit properly so my mother in law made a couple for me! Life saver!

I’ve got a U shape one but I literally never use it. It’s so big and gets in the way when sleeping in the bed with my partner. I just use a small pillow between my knees x

I got a C shape one, it is better for since it doesn’t separate me from my partner so much.

I would 100% recommend a Dreamgenii. That way I’ve been able to sleep on my pillows like normal, I found other ones really awkward on my neck. It’s so comfy and allows sleep in all positions so you can easily enough roll over from side to side but has enough of a wedge that you don’t roll onto your back

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Am I over reacting?

MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Anyone's 5 month old just shouting 24/7?

Not sure if its boredom, teething or shes adjusting to purees as she is closer to 6 months so slowly started to wean. Didn't know if it was just a found my voice phase.

Naps

My baby is 3 months old tomorrow (Christmas Day baby), and she will not go in her cot anymore. During the day or at night time. She used to. I can’t get anything done, and have no break from her. Has anyone else experienced this?

Boy night time diapers

Hey boy mommas! I have a 5 month old tomorrow and for the past couple nights, he’s started peeing through his diapers at night and soaking his clothes. Any suggestions on the best night time diapers for baby boys who pee a lot?

Behaviour is just getting extreme.

Hi guys, so my son is 3 in August. He is honestly getting so exhausting, he's so naughty when hes at home. Doesn't listen to mummy or Daddy, absolute nightmare at bed time. Won't let me get him changed, just daddy and then if I start trying to change him he starts hitting. He's just tried to bend his safety rail tonight. Please tell me someone else's is like this 😫
