Pregnancy & Motherhood

Were you vaccinated? Did you get it? How many times?

So I found out I'm pregnant and my period app says I'm due on my son's birthday. I may have sort of added a day when i made my booking appointment because I didn't want to be due on my babies birthday 😅 didn't think it would matter since it usually changes at the first scan anyway 🤷 had some bleeding/complications and had to go for an early scan and I'm due on my son's birthday 🫠

I know hot tubs and saunas are too hot for pregnancy, but what about bath tubs? They rarely reach those extreme heat levels and a nice, hot bath sounds good about now, but I want to make sure it’s safe for the baby. If it’s comfortable to sit in but I start sweating within five minutes, is that too hot? 39 weeks in and muscles are sore!

Ok I know the picture may be a little tmi, but wtf? I will say my gums don’t hurt at all. So idk if this is a post partum thing or what.. or may just irritate because I brush my gums a lot.

Has anyone used a rewards chart and felt it helped with behaviour at all?

My 3yo son’s behaviour has been a bit challenging recently but we have just had another baby 5 weeks ago so I know a lot of it is just fighting for attention and adjusting to the big change.

He has also started expecting toys/treats all the time because so many people bought him something along with the baby.

I thought maybe a simple reward chart might help with bed times, kind hands, listening, that kind of thing🤷‍♀️and that he doesn’t just get treats all the time for no reason🙈

Has anyone had any success and can give me ideas what to include?
