Pelvic pain

I’m 38+4 and only this week started to get really intense pelvic pain to the point I am struggling to walk! Has anyone else had this? Does anyone have any tips to help relieve some of the pain or do I just have to suck it up until baby decides to make an appearance?😂 I’ve tried stretching, warm baths & showers and…

1 week old really congested

Her nose is extremely congested and she’s having to take stronger breaths and is making crocky sounds occasionally. She’s still able to breathe through her nose whilst breastfeeding etc, so it’s not completely blocked up. I’ve tried placing drops of sterile saline water up her nose as well as milk but it doesn’t see...

Eye gunk

Any tips on how to clear baby eye gunk out quickly? It keeps forming in my one week olds right eye. I’ve tried cleaning it with saline solution (with a cotton pad) and putting some of my breast milk in her eye so she can clean her eye out.

Could I be preg??

Am on antibiotics (amoxicillin) and have been taking ibrophen for tooth infection. Period is 2 days late and it’s never ever late. Could I be pregnant or is this because of the antibiotics?

Exhaustion

Is anyone else about 35/36 weeks and completely and utterly drained? I’m 35+5 and I know it’s to be expected but wow I can’t focus on work, can’t be bothered to put my stuff into my hospital bag, the kitchen is in complete chaos and I just can’t move 😴

Movements

When is the earliest first time moms have felt movements?? I’m only 14 weeks and 4 days so I wasn’t expecting any movements at all yet so it caught me so off guard but I’m not sure if it was like something else? (Denial is a river in Egypt😭) don’t wanna start having phantom thoughts of movements

What is your baby doing?

I know we shouldn't compare babies and they all develop in their own time but it seems like everyone else's baby is either rolling or sitting. Mine is 24 weeks and I have seen her roll belly to back a few times but only if I've put her on her front and I haven't seen her roll back to belly at all. She can sit unaide...

Does anyone else’s baby drink a lot of water?

I have tried to limit my son’s water intake but he just wants to drink water all the time & will kick up a fuss if we don’t let him have water. I’m just wondering if this is a sign of something or I’m just overthinking it?

Walking

If your baby can walk how did you get them over the fear of walking unassisted? My LG can walk barely holding the tip of my finger but as soon as I let go she’ll sit down. I know she can do it but it’s obvious that she’s not out of fear. Wondering if anyone’s cracked this and has any tips because she’s getting so fr...
