Crying

My LG (12w) has basically screamed for 3 days. Not crying or grizzling - screaming, red in the face, tears streaming, stiff as a board and making herself breathless. When she's awake she's screaming. Have wondered if it's constipation so given some laxatives but nothings happening. Struggling a bit this week just feel like we can't do anything she's completely inconsolable all the time

I thought crying was meant to peak 6-8 weeks and then get less but it's just more and more and worse and worse every week

If it's very bad and nothing's helping I guess it's worth checking with hv or GP. My baby is 15 weeks old now. About 2 weeks ago (13 weeks) I had 1 or 2 nights that he was screaming. I gave him Calpol and he calmed down. I noticed he was putting fists to his mouth and dribbling a lot. So for us it was the beginning of teething. I bought Teetha granules and teethers. Seems to work so far. I think what you described must be a symptom of pain. So I'd start will Calpol. I hope your baby will be better.

I agree pain that's why I think she's constipated - she's had such a mare with reflux and her formula. Thank you for validating us, family keep saying oh babies cry blah blah but it feels worse

Did you try Calpol?

My little boy has been similar and seems to be teething so I’ve given him calpol Ashton and parsons and massaged his gums. It’s tough but hang in there 🫶

Is 12 weeks a bit young for teething??

It may start as early as 3 months old so it is possible. It's just the beginning so it's not gonna come out straight away. But they feel the pain already. If you look on medicine for teething it says 3 months +

As already been said, a wee trip to the Doctor's would help, at the very least just to put your mind at ease. 😁 Xx

They are going through leap 3 rn, my 13 week old has been doing the same like a switch flips. He will be smiling, giggling, content as anything then one slight change in how he's being held or something and all hell breaks loose. He is also drooling all over himself, chewing everything so I don't know if he's teething. It's so hard but all we can do is comfort, keep an eye on them and seek medical help if it doesn't get better soon 😔

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 😂🥲

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 😃
