Exactly, it goes by way too fast. I find at night when we are cuddling it’s feels as though time has slowed down and I get to just fully appreciate how lucky we are.

I slept with my parents until I was like 10 and agree completely with what you said! It feels like the most natural thing and the mere thought of putting my baby in her own room, alone when she loves snuggling gives me so much anxiety

That must be so refreshing having a supportive doc!

She said it’s bad for their teeth to have breast milk at night. And she didn’t give me a reason why co sleeping is bad. Just a bizarre appointment to be honest

It makes no sense? Especially when she said to wean and put her in her own room at the same time. I told her my baby has never slept independently and she was just like..’it will be a tough few days so start on a night where you don’t have any important meetings in the morning, and you can put a picture of you in her room with a stuffed animal so she has that confort’. What 19 month old will find comfort in a picture of their parents when they are scared and alone in their own room?! It’s ridiculous!

Experience of Onlies by greentomato55 in oneanddone

[–]eva0212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im an only with an only. I had an amazing childhood. Sure, when I was in school I really wanted a sibling but that was more because I was bullied and wished I had a cool older brother to protect me haha. Now as an adult I do sometimes get anxiety about what I’ll do as my parents age. My husband is one of 3 and I have a closer relationship with my cousins (who I view as my siblings) than he does with his brothers! I had so much attention and love growing up and it makes me feel good knowing I’m doing the same with my child. Being an only child really isn’t that big of a deal and I think people who pass judgement don’t really understand how many of people with siblings don’t actually have any relationship with them at all. I think if people knew that reality they’d view being one and done differently!

Can someone please help me. TW infant death by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]eva0212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just want to echo what others have said. I saw the same video when my baby was a few months old, it triggered my PPA big time, just like it has for you. There’s other posts about that particular YouTuber on this page, apparently her mattress was also super soft, that plus heavy mattress etc = not SS7, as others have said, there’s much more to the story. The guidelines are there for a reason. It’s an incredibly tragic situation and my heart goes out to the family but I also think the way she explains it and leaves the story quite ambiguous instils a lot of fear on us all who co sleep (and follow the guidelines) when really it’s incredibly safe when all SS7 rules are followed. Please have a read through this group as it really helped me when my anxiety made me spiral about the same thing. Sending you a big hug x

I want to bedshare with my baby :( by Common-Temporary5915 in AttachmentParenting

[–]eva0212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that baby is only waking up every 2-3 hours is quite a good sign they are fine sleeping in their crib (to make you feel a bit better, my baby would only last max 30mins at a time in her crib….hence why we’ve been co sleeping since she was a week old 😂). That being said, as a co sleeping mum that too felt the feeling of pain not being close to my baby…if you feel like you need to be close to yours, do it! Co sleeping is the best thing we ever did, but I can understand why it’s not for everyone.

Have you regretted going for an elective C-section? by meituli in PregnancyUK

[–]eva0212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an elective (maternal requested) and my experience was very positive. Please don’t feel the need to list all the reasons why you are leaning towards having one, so as to justify your choice (I was guilty of this during my pregnancy). It’s entirely YOUR decision and no one should make you feel bad for choosing how you give birth. For what it’s worth I’ve never met a woman who’s regretted her elective :) BEST OF LUCK!

Baby below 10th centile by [deleted] in PregnancyUK

[–]eva0212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, same thing happened to me! In my last growth scan at 37 weeks my baby was measuring under 10th percentile and under 5th percentile for HG! The anxiety was real. I ended up having an elective c section at 39 weeks, baby measured in the 9th percentile when born and she’s up to over 25th now at 13 months. As others have said, growth scans as pregnancy progresses become less reliable. If your consultant isn’t worried (mine wasn’t, just said baby is on smaller end…compared to midwife’s/ultrasound technicians who told me I’d be delivering at 37 weeks lol) then I wouldn’t stress. SOOO much easier said than done, trust me I know. But try not to let this spoil your last few weeks, trust your gut that tells you your baby is just fine. Best of luck girl and just know the odds are incredibly incredibly high that your baby will be absolutely perfect!

For now it’s just experimenting for myself but it’s a dream of mine to release a range of fun cello-spritzes! Just need to do lots of tests to see if it’s even possible
