Has anyone experienced server back pain? I went into triage with very bad pains in my back to be given dihydrocodeine. I only take this when the pain is at the worst as I read baby’s can suffer withdrawal symptoms when born. Anyway last night I was in tears with the pain, dihyrocodeine never even helped, honestly wo...

My boyfriend and I were going out and he tripped on the stairs in our block of flats, the flats have a leak in the ceiling and he tripped on the floor. He went backwards and so did my daughter , she bruised her little leg and has another bruise close to her pelvis . I feel like I honestly can’t trust him because ev...

When making payments to my nursery on the government gateway account, what do you put in the box ‘first payment date’? Is it asking for the date on the invoice? It wouldn’t let me put a date earlier than today’s date but this is an overdue payment for November!

My baby will be 4 months on Tuesday and for the last few days she’s missing feeds and going long stretches without feeding. She get distracted so easily then will come off and start screaming and not go back on. I’ve tried feeding in a quiet room but even then she gets distracted. She’s barely had any milk since 8:...

My friend brought their child to soft play with hand foot and mouth today. I panicked as soon as I realised. Worried my little one will catch it now. Spiralling into a panic 😟😟😟😟

We are thinking about conceiving baby n2 in the next few months. I’m EBF and don’t have my periods yet. We are still open to try and see what happens as we heard that you can fall pregnant without them back in your cycle. However, how do you track ovulation?

Hi guys, I had to deliver early at 31w + 6d on November 10th. Our baby girl is doing good in the NICU and she may be able to come home in the next few weeks. I was not ready to deliver, I thought I had another 2 months.. i feel like I do t know anything I’m supposed to research wise. This is my first baby and firs...

We would like to get my daughter one of these for Xmas but would like to know which one everyone is going for / recommends please! I heard baby walkers aren’t the safest but we would obviously be watching her the whole time.

I am officially 6 weeks post partum and my milk supply in my left breast has completely dried up. I always start feeding on the left and then switch to the right when my baby gets fussy at the breast. What do I do? Should I try to power pump just that breast? Has this happened to anyone else?

My daughter is about 9.5 months and for the last 3-4 days she has been so grumpy! She’ll stop in the middle of nursing to roll onto her back and cry for a minute and then go back to nursing. She’s also been sleeping about 1.5 extra hours per day. I’m assuming it’s a growth spurt or maybe (finally) teething, but my a...

My 2 yr old is biting I don't know how to get him to stop

Hi there, I’m about to buy the pram as travel system with Cybex carseat, We are not to sure what to get. We have been to store and try on both. We lean towards the Reef2 cause of the size but it is also quite heavy. Fox 5 was our fav before but it is really big as it takes lots of space but so light. We live in C...

Hi! Could anyone who has had a visit from the Health Visitor before the baby is born let me know roughly how long the visit is, and what they want to talk about? I will be there (36+3 with first baby) but just trying to work out whether it’s worth my husband rearranging his work schedule to be there too! Thanks :)
