Overreacting?

We left our 6 month old with my in-laws for an hour just so we could get a food shop in. We gave clear instructions that she was due a nap and would finish the rest of her bottle prior to that - our baby is a routine baby, and often gets upset if that routine isn’t followed as best as we can When we came back, she ...

Fell down stairs (21 weeks pregnant)

I fell down about 10 steps this morning, lost my balance and slid on my bum. I called triage very upset and went to check if everything was ok — baby’s heartbeat was ok and they were happy for me to leave.

A little rant about my pregnancy

I need to let it out… So it’s almost 2yrs ago but when I was in my first trimester, my husband (as well as MIL) was really strict with my diet. I shouldn’t drink ice water bc it would freeze the baby inside, but I also shouldn’t drink something too hot bc it would burn the baby inside…(He told me it’s part of his r...
