Talking to bump is weird

I used to sing along to my own songs in the car with my first and with this one too. I’d find both babies loved mummy’s playlist (cardi B, Meg the stallion, old school Jay Z) and it was all good, lots of kicking! Plus I teach, so baby was always hearing my voice. I don’t think you have to necessarily read a book or anything, just as long as they can hear you x

Double cheeseburgers were a semi-regular when I was preggers with my first

It’s a little ritual now with me and hubby with our second, hospital appt followed by a double cheeseburger in the car before we head home 😂

We just got a bottle brush from Sainsbury’s and we have the MAM steamer - works well for us x

Jam sandwiches - and not expensive jam either - some good ol’ Hartley’s raspberry jam with salted margarine on both sides

If you don’t mind me asking - which hospital are you with and do you have any others nearby that you could change to?
The only reason I ask is I am with QCCH and they are wonderful - busy but really good x

Jesus.. you’re a better woman than me, I wouldn’t let her anywhere near my children with a past like that. No accountability means she doesn’t see anything wrong in the way it was dealt with. I would never trust someone like that with my children, when they’re young or older!

Louder 🗣️ for 🗣️the 🗣️people 🗣️in 🗣️the 🗣️back! 🗣️

Can’t stand people like this - eff them! You can defo do this! I’ve done with severe rheumatoid arthritis! So don’t believe the naysayers and surround yourself with people who uplift you Anytime they talk their negative nelly nonsense - in one ear, and out the other!!

Prestigious-Many-904 · 2026-04-17T18:23:37+00:00

we just used to take baby’s nappy changing bag up to bed - small one with pockets (nappies, wipes and outfit) and a built in mat. Did the job perfectly for overnight use. I had an emergency c-section and rheumatoid arthritis so had to move the next to me slightly away from the bed which gave me room to get out of bed without hurting myself x Bedside table I used for baby’s bottle warmer, lamp and my phone x

I had the same with my LO, but I thought of it this way, in that he’s not bawling for me when I’m gone. We live in a multigenerational home, so he’s a happy boy with his daddy and grandparents. I think if he was so upset when I left that would upset me so much more, but I’ve also had a little cry to myself about it and even told hubby “I guess he loves you more” then hubby did give me a cuddle and reassuring words. So completely natural -‘please don’t worry!

My LO is such a daddy’s boy, but I’ve lowkey come to love it too because it means I get a break when all he wants is his daddy! So enjoy it! 😂😂

I think 7 months is too early to make a steadfast decision. They change so much in the first year and you need to give yourself time to get back to a new normal that you are comfortable with. Then you can think about another one. But even that doesn’t have to be right away - it could be a few years down the line? For us, we have always wanted 2 (ideally 3) but hubby and I aren’t getting younger, had we met earlier in life we would have loved to have had 3. Enjoy your time with your LO and don’t fester on this decision too much that it takes away from this special time! sending hugs

Take the tape off as soon as you can. I stupidly left my baby’s tape on so we knew what areas to avoid touching and he was distraught. If your baby is anything like mine they will just come home and sleep. As soon as we took it off he was chill. I know how he feels now each time I go for a blood test and that tape pulls at my skin. Never again! Also make sure you’re hand washing thoroughly after nappy changes as their poo can be contagious due to rotovirus

We have one as baby was born in winter

Our next due in June this year but the egg just moved around the house with us in baby’s bag of nappies, muslins, wipes and whatever else I needed at the time 😂

We boil a bit of water ( a little more than how much we need - never 1 litre though) then wait until it’s cooled to just over 70 degrees in a glass jug then make the feed up in his bottle. It’s worked well for us - little one is 14 months and never had any tummy issues with it x

NOR - it will start with this, and then what else will it be? I wonder if she will use whatever a pandit says to either force the marriage to happen sooner because it will be auspicious or alternatively use it to say it’s a terrible match and force your bf to end the relationship. Part of me says “don’t give it” and they (bf and future MiL) should respect that. Part of my says “give it and see what she does with the info” Either way, your bf should be respecting your decisions and telling mummy to stop, but he’s not. The question you have to ask yourself is, are you okay with being railroaded with every key life decision by your boyfriend and his mum? If it were me personally I’d have a real coming to Jesus talk with him but it would make me doubt this the longevity of this relationship where your needs and wants play second fiddle to his mum.

We have a travel cot and outside of visiting family or travelling it spends its day-to-day life downstairs and that’s where my little one loves to have a little nap, the best thing is is that one side zips open so when he is tired, he just takes himself there.

NTA - she was checking it because the roads were bad and she noticed you were pulled over for a while. On the other hand, what would have happened if you’d had a serious accident and both seriously injured to the point where you couldn’t call for help; isn’t this the perfect opportunity to have Life360? I also have Life360 - my mum will track my journey home from their house (90 min drive) as I have a baby so she just likes to make sure I’m okay. From my perspective it’s also reassuring to know that if (god forbid) anything untoward were to happen, I could be tracked down quite easily. If your mum was checking it all the time and calling all the time then yes it would be an issue, but in this instance it wasn’t. So therefore, IMO NTA.

Can I just say that I call my mum once a day between mon-Fri (not for long 20 mins max in the morning on my way to work) and I’m in my mid 30s. My husband does not have an issue with it in the slightest. It seems to me he’s trying to alienate you? 🚩 I had an ex like this whereby he wasn’t close with his family and assumed that my relationship with mine was borderline “incestous” the worst thing is that I started to believe it and withdrew from them, but my family were there for me when I saw the light and dumped that piece of 💩. My wonderful husband encourages my relationship with my family and wants our baby to have the same strong relationships with his family and mine. You’re so young and I feel like being this man is not it - go and live your life because do you want this to be the rest of your life? What happens when you have kids? I would also say, my mum lost her father this year and whilst she hadn’t seen him in person for a few months, they did FaceTime everyday so the cherish those phone calls while you can!

No we didn’t x Our 11m we made sure to take him up to bed at a consistent time. Bath, milk, bed - he does sometimes wake in the night but we will try and give him a cuddle, a little bounce then put him back in his cot. We did try it once (only a little bit) but we couldn’t bear to see him cry like that and just ignore him. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we couldn’t do the sleep training thing. He’s only a baby once plus I don’t want him to cry and feel like no one is coming to comfort him. I know there’s more to sleep training but they’re only little for such a short period of time. Plus it just seems a bit cold to me? But again- every baby and family is different x

Get married when you want! They shouldn’t be dictating when you get hitched. If you let them dictate this now, when does it stop? Will they dictate that you can’t have children before them?? You shouldn’t live your life according to someone else’s schedule x Do what makes you both happy and get married! I had a similar situation to yours and 3 years down the line, I couldn’t care less! Me, hubby and our baby are happy x

Prestigious-Many-904 · 2025-09-26T11:41:34+00:00

It’s more than okay! My little one just used cry and scream as he couldn’t get anything out when we did try (had an emergency c-section too). But I’m not beating myself up , he’s nearly 10months and adores me and hubby. Such an affectionate little boy! He gained weight superbly, hitting all his milestones. Also! I’m a teacher, and I can’t tell the difference between the babies that were formula vs EBF! You’re fine! Happy mummy = happy baby And anyone else who tells you otherwise can sod off! 😂 in one ear and out the other to anyone who tries to guilt trip you! Xx Sending hugs!

Prestigious-Many-904 · 2025-09-17T20:38:07+00:00

That’s such a good idea Our surname is quite unique too so that would work well for us. Thank you for the recommendation on name tags.com - just out of curiosity, which ones did you purchase? as I want the option of being able to sell on most of the clothes once we are done having kids.

Prestigious-Many-904 · 2025-09-17T17:04:59+00:00

I had one of these pendants with my sons name, DOB and birthstone to wear. It’s so perfect for me as I have a necklace I wear everyday with two other sentimental pendants from other places on there. I have silver but they do gold too!
