What should I do

My LO is turning 2 at the end of Sept. His party has been planned for almost 2 weeks now and my grandmother has already decided to invite 10 extra guests when this was meant to be for a total of 20 people (the people my LO is closest to). I tried talking to her about this and I was just called disrespectful and told that if I couldn’t afford the party then I shouldn’t throw one. I’m worried that she is going to invite more guests in the coming weeks that I won’t be able to accommodate for given how limited my budget is. What should I do??

Tell her to pay for the extra guests or have her own party. she shouldn't be inviting people if she can't afford it.

that was considered disrespectful of me to all her to pay for the extra guests or to uninvite them. She insisted I wasn’t being thoughtful only inviting close family and that I was hurting people’s feelings. Should I just change the party details and not tell her until last minute? I’m not sure anymore.

I went through this with my first spent over 1k n was stressed out. For our 2nd baby only did close family that actually was there for us and our kids about 60 people n I was happy. If other people get butt hurt not my problem. Things go both ways if u dint make the effort neither will I. Don't fall for the guilt trip been there. Do what works for you and your piece of mind

If she doesnt respect ur feels don't respecte hers do what u want for ur child with ur money

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time
