When does it get easier?

I've been really holding onto the fact it gets easier but at 4.5 nearly 5 months I just find my LO harder than ever I feel a lot more tired (not sleeping through) and he just seems to cry even more. I assume teething etc so I do feel bad but so many people said after 3 months it gets so much easier and I'm just not sure I found that

It's easier in some ways....as in...the shock of having a new baby had worn off, how to make formula and all that newness and the smiles and personality the babies have is great. But yeah the sleep has gotten worse, he's constantly whinging if you sit still for more than 5 mins with him... exhausting

I would say it’s not that it gets easier but it’s about finding ways to get rest and time to unwind so you don’t burn out, made a huge difference to me. Even small things like I started using headspace and going to the gym once or twice a week. Whatever works for you and of course whatever is doable for your family.

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 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
