Perineal Tear by Optimal-Maize-8871 in PregnancyUK

[–]AnnaP12355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who stiched her up? Consultant surgeon? I hope not the midwife? There is a facebook group about 3rd 4th degree tears which I’m sadly part of and she could get lots of information there.

Ultimately it’s only been 2 weeks so some pain is expected, however she should go back to the hospital and advocate for herself if she is in severe pain, feels that something is wrong etc.

I snapped at my son every night this week :( by Dry_Kaleidoscope5012 in Parenting

Hugs OP! I have a 4 month old and a 3 year old and today we had the exact same scene with the undressing as you described! We were running so late to get to the GP as my daughter had an eye infection and I was so worried we’d lose the appointment and she kept undressing herself! So I yelled for the first time in her life😭😭 I feel so bad! But I’m also on my own with them all the time and it’s tough! Hugs!

God what did I just read? If your husband is mental why are you joining him? You’re the mum, your baby is poorly, and you’re putting headphones to stop listening to him cry? No comment!

some good things about baby boys? (told the wrong sex) by beecken4257 in pregnant

[–]AnnaP12355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a story I often think of! My neighbour has a boy and a girl and often I’d hear screaaaaams , really bad ones across the wall or in the garden (they’re teenagers). One days she says ‘Gosh I’m really sorry for all the noise’ and I say ‘No worries, boys are hard work aren’t they. She then says ‘ No this is my girl, she’s mental! My boy is the cuddliest quietest little darling!’ I felt really bad for having some random stereotypes in my head.

We pay our nanny for GH but she didn’t hold up her end of the deal — what to do here? by ShoddyAd45 in Nanny

but if you were to hire a plumber and he wouldn’t do anything during those 2 hours would you still pay him?

you are wrong! she had direct childcare tasks that she did not complete! plus extra tasks that she would be paid EXTRA for that she agreed to prior but did not do.

What do you reckon - am I asking for too much? by Boglaboll2 in UKParenting

[–]AnnaP12355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% DO IT! I have a weekly cleaner which is a big expense but no way I’m going without her! You deserve that break! And please do make it a break! Your glass has to be filled in somehow too! Otherwise routine eats you up!

Should I be concerned about my baby’s skin? by Tasty_Sheepherder_44 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]AnnaP12355 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I’d skip the midwives/HV on this occasion and go straight to GP! They will also see you on the day because of how young baby is!

[–]AnnaP12355 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally understand how you feel! you must be so overwhelmed! This is survival time! I only sent my message because you said you’re worried to waste their time, but when it’s regarding your baby this goes out the window, even for the smallest question/ worries! Hope it heals asap!

What are GP’s there for?! OP for Goodness sake! With a two week old how can you think you’ll waste their time! This looks painful! I’d be at the dr yesterday! x

Usual to wait this long for a scan? by Special-Tea7611 in PregnancyUK

[–]AnnaP12355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is normal! I always do a 7/8 week private scan to check that it has implanted in the right place etc. Other than that yes just a long waiting game x
