Forward Facing?

When did you make the switch for your little ones?

Mine is at a height and weight where he could face either way. I’d love for them to be able to turn around but feel that it’s safer to still be rear facing.

my daughter is almost 3 and we will be doing extended rear facing.

We did around two/ a little later

You are right that riding rear facing is safer! 🎉🎊

Our tall 4yr old is 41ibs and 44inches and still rear facing. I hope to get another year out of his seat depending how he keeps growing.

If you are on instagram I highly recommend to follow @safeintheseat I learn so much from that lady!

still rearfacing and will be until minimum age 4. it’s 5x safer.

I do it for short rides but in all honesty i keep him rear facing still

Jealous of everyone who can keep their kids rear facing! Statistically so much more safe! My little one is off the charts tall and big so she couldn’t fit in any rear facing seats that we found at 2 years and 2 months old. 😔

oh wow how tall is she?

My 2 year old is 39 lbs and our car seat has a 40 lb limit on rear facing, so we're going to be switching soon... I did want to keep him rear facing as long as possible but we've got a big boy

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
