Crying non stop for 2 hours

My LO is now 4 weeks old and was crying for two hours this evening before bedtime. it's been a few days since he cried in the afternoon... We did everything we could to calm him down, but nothing worked. Is this colic?

TMI

Anyone been struggling with diarrhea? I’m 6 weeks 6 days today, had a scan yesterday and baby is okay. Past week each morning I’ve had a diarrhea episode then I’m okay for the rest of the day. I thought it could have been the prenatal I’ve been taking so changed that. Anyone else having this or should I contact GP?

Period cramps

The last 3 days I’ve had period like cramps that come and go. But they kept me up for a good hour last night at 3am. Is this just braxton hicks? There’s no pattern or tightenings. Just very uncomfortable and won’t go when I move positions or get up? I’m 37 weeks 2 days

I think I messed up

I’ve been on Lexapro for about 6 months now and have been wanting to get off of it due to it just not doing much and potentially irritating other medical problems, about a week ago I had a stomach bug and didn’t take my meds for about 3 days and decided that since it had already been 3 days maybe I’d already started...

Pregnancy and BV

I am 34 weeks pregnant. Back in November I got results that I was positive for BV. Since I always feel awful taking antibiotics and had 0 symptoms, I decided I would try a more natural route first (probiotics, oil of oregano supplement and garlic supplement). In February I asked the doc to check again for me just to...

Any tips for natural remedies for gastroenteritis/vomitting & diarrhoea?

I've not slept since Thursday my 3 kids have passed it around and tonight my 3rd is symptomatic. I'm feeling like my turn is around the corner, I'm a single mom, no car, living in a hostel, need to do a food shop, can't receive deliveries. I'm just empty at this point and fearful my intrusive thoughts may win

When to start feeling movement?

I am 15 weeks with the second and my ultrasound tech said I have a posterior placenta which should mean I feel movement sooner. I don’t think I’ve felt any movement yet, definitely no consistant movement. When did y’all start feeling movements?

Burglary

Has anyone else ever experienced similar…? We had our contents of our car emptied and stolen a couple of nights ago. Ever since I’ve not been able to sleep, or calm!
