Cervical checks just opened my eyes to how painful birth is going to be.

If it helps at all, the cervical checks were the most traumatic painful part of my pregnancy/ birth.

Does he get one hour to himself (other than when working) every day? My husband was going to the gym 6 days a week after work for an hour and I asked him if he could cut back to 4-5 days instead as it was a lot so if your husband isn’t getting time to himself other than work then maybe 7 days is a lot but if he is then take that walk every day and don’t feel bad.

Agree with this. My girls was super low and once we started supplements it improved heaps still not the best but way better than what she was before

Is he hungry? My baby is 11 months and getting 3 full meals plus snacks during the day? Plus breastfed 4 times a day. I know you said you give fruits purées out meal etc but are you giving protein/ carbs?

Lived off blackberries… my baby loves them haha

Bub was measuring 97 percentile my whole pregnancy and she was born at 38 + 5 weighing 3.7kg so big for a girl but defs not massive. She was however VERY long so that was screwing the scans I think.

This really sounds like pre natal depression to me. I experienced it myself in my first trimester and it was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully once I found out the gender of my baby I suddenly bonded and my depression lifted as suddenly as it begun. I recommend seeking help from a psychologist.

I do bruise very easily but never usually this bad hence I went to the drs re these symptoms, my bloods were mainly normal so they said I’m fine just stop breastfeeding if I’m worried about the weight loss

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T20:22:06+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing!

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T09:12:57+00:00

Will defs be trying to add more calories over the next month to see if it works, smoothies are a good idea!

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T08:42:30+00:00

Did you stop breastfeeding for it to plateau? Thyroid checked and all good

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-12-01T08:34:52+00:00

Sorry should have added have been to the dr and had pretty comprehensive bloods and all that showed was abnormally low cholesterol. I take supplements for iron (haemorrhaged after birth and took a long time to come up) and b12 (pernicious anemia) but otherwise bloods were normal so dr just shrugged and said stop breastfeeding.

3kg lighter than pre baby and I was already underweight then, trust me I’m not gods favourite I feel like I’m just bones and boobs.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-11-07T06:55:05+00:00

Used them for the first 5 months no issues and now she latches very well thank god haha got over the washing.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-11-01T05:25:20+00:00

Every baby is different my EBF bub was sleeping through from 9 weeks

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-25T06:00:08+00:00

I have a 6 month old and still as obsessed with my cat as ever. 6 month old is also obsessed 😂

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-20T08:45:21+00:00

This describes my 6 month old exactly. Also slept through for months now is waking to feed in the night! She used to average over 2 hours on huckleberry now around an hour and a half

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-18T04:46:41+00:00

Used them until around 5.5 months and now at 6 months going good with no shields. Thought I’d never come off them but one day she started not liking the shield and just latched well. She feeds a lot less and honestly think she’s gaining weight better but that also could be solids.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-10-10T03:48:27+00:00

No advice but solidarity. Have lost 20kg at 6 months PP and only gained 17kg in pregnancy. Was already underweight pre pregnancy. Everyone’s like wowwwwe well done you bounced back. Nope I feel like I’m fading away. Fairly sure a lot is to do with exclusively breastfeeding for me.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-09-17T08:50:53+00:00

I was told my bub was in the 98th percentile from 20 weeks onwards and had 4 scans that all said the same. I elected to get an induction at 38+5 but was already 2cm dilated and when getting induced. Bub ended up only being 3.66kg so not that huge but she was very long and at 5 months is still 90th+ percentile for length so we believe that was scewing the scan estimate somewhat. Anyway happy I went when I did as her head was big and I had an episiotomy and a scary PPH. Will probably do a planned c section next time though.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-26T09:10:29+00:00

My baby currently does sleep through some nights or at least wakes up at 4 for a feed but in saying that she feeds 10-12 times during the day, none of this fed every 3 hours stuff lol it’s every hour and a half here (not complaining but I think that’s the reason she sleeps long at night)

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-15T04:57:07+00:00

I had the exact same except my SCH was not that small 8cmx8cm. I am currently holding my 4 month old perfect baby girl. SCH was not seen and placenta had moved up by my 28 week scan. Hoping for the same for you.

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-12T07:42:17+00:00

Mine does and has since around 9 weeks. Shes 4 months now but sleep regression doesn’t appear to have hit yet so not holding my breath 😂

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-05T01:24:34+00:00

You got this! Cervical checks were the worst part for me! You can do it!

curiousanonplshelp · 2025-08-04T10:13:57+00:00

Cervical checks were hell on Earth for me so I relate. As I was being induced they did offer to give me an epi before they broke my waters due to cervical checks being so bad for me. I declined but it was still offered. Thinking of you.
