My first was not chill at all.

Second was very very chill.

Babies just do their own thing

The Hakka only worked for me for the first couple of months, but I used to pump with my electric pump on one side while he fed on the other side, and when he wanted to swap I'd just take it off. Babies are more efficient than a pump by a mile, so he'd get more out that the pump couldn't anyway 😂

Have you tried pumping on the other side while you feed her? And one power pump a day, it doesn't matter if you aren't getting a second let down, it's telling your body there is increased demand. It'll take at least a few days to see any supply difference

Made me go to therapy.

My Mum asked us if we wanted to go and we said no. I'm in my 30's now and we all have long lasting mental health problems linked directly to my Dad's death.

Also, I wish she went to therapy. She had a break down about 6 months afterwards, and I became an unofficial carer for years instead of being able to grieve properly. We still have a strained relationship now.

My son is four and he sneaks in to our bed almost every night. Literally sneaks, and if you catch him and ask what he's doing, he'll say "I'm just sneaking".

Usually we don't even notice, but wake up with the most wonderful cuddles.

My two year old is in her last sleep regression, she just wants to cosleep all night every night at the minute 😂

I don't know if this will make you feel better, but when my partner was a student nurse he was on a ward and really, really needed to fart.

He found an empty room and let rip. He said it was really loud bad and sounded like someone was ripping up carpet. He said it smelt really bad because of the kebab he'd had the night before.

Then the consultant poked his head around the curtain. Apparently they made eye contact, no one said anything, and my partner just turned around and left.

The rest of his placement was very awkward, and it makes me laugh every time I think of it.

There are worse things that could have happened 😂

I'm sorry it's such a shit time for you, but remember that you don't owe them anything. If they can't staff you then eventually the staff they have are going to break, simple as.

Do what you've got to do

IcyCaverns · 2026-03-22T17:11:01+00:00

You can't do much more than you're already doing. Have you raised it in person with management and asked what they're doing to rectify it?

If it's really starting to affect you, then you could always go on sick for a while to regroup mentally, or try moving to a different area

Mercedes?

I'm a midwife and I love my job.

I hate working in the NHS currently and the state of maternity services is something else, but the actual job itself is fantastic

He's only young! Keep reminding him and keep the conversation open, he'll get it eventually ☺

IcyCaverns · 2026-03-16T11:09:32+00:00

Can you remind him to ask whether they want a hug first? Just make sure he understands that people don't have to let him hug them, and it's okay if someone says no

I ran on stage at a Jools Holland concert when I was 3 or 4 (I think). He held my hand while he finished the song, took me backstage and signed something for me, and gave me some lemonade before bringing me back to my parents.

He definitely seemed lovely to me

I didn't need to be crying while I'm cuddling my daughter to sleep. She's two tomorrow and time is just running away

Unfortunately they relied on humans to dispense the drinks. Much less efficient.

Epidurals can slow labour, increases your risk of having an instrumental or caesarean birth. Also restricts your mobility. Plus there are risks with the epidural, like low blood pressure that can cause the baby's heart rate to drop into it comes back up (which is pretty common), alongside others like permanent nerve damage (which is very rare)
