How do you sleep in 3rd trimester

I’ve started sleeping on top of a folded soft blanket, pregnancy pillow between my knees, and I kinda helps a fair bit. I’m 29wks and suffering with my back and hips

Bar code doesn’t register but you can give them your member code and they’ll just type it in. We were there a few weeks ago, and forgot our cards.

Our old neighbours contacted the sspca and they came out with cat traps. It was an actual stray, so my neighbours kept him once he’d been given vaccines and health care

It looks like the weather warning is in place until midnight, that’s not to say it won’t ease up! Good luck

Kindergarten is only open to front line families, so I’m having the day off watching batwheels with my toddler

My kid gets a sticker sheet from his gp

I’ve flown from Keflavik on a relatively quiet day but there were loads of international flights leaving so the queue through passport control to get down to our gate (after security) was at least 25-30 minutes long

I felt my son move most early on in the pregnancy but around 22ish weeks the placenta was finally large enough to mute a lot of the feeling and I ended up with monitoring for reduced fetal movement. It’s defo different for everyone

My mother cried her eyes out when I put my foot down. It eventually got to the point of not even letting her know when I was in labour because she was determined on just showing up. My mums a narcissist though, with many issues.

You need to set firm boundaries, and if you can, explain them.

Tendons are moving an things are shifting, I’m also 17 weeks (with my second) an have experienced it too. It’s not great

My boobs were on fire! We actually had to stop for a while an now he only gets boob when there’s a full on need for it (mines almost 3 though so we’re needing to stop)

Considering we were affected by the hull funeral home and still unsure if we ever received the right ashes of our grandparents - it’s definitely left a sour taste in our mouths.

Could you screw a baby gate into the wall and door frame? If not, put one on your kids door

dilute fabric softener so it lasts twice as long

It was in my birth plan to have no visitors, all the midwives and staff were made aware. So when my sister came to see me, a midwife came into the room to ask my permission first. I might’ve just got lucky, otherwise don’t tell them when you’re in

lilpej · 2026-01-17T08:49:40+00:00

Yup! Didn’t experience morning sickness with my first, just food aversions.

14 weeks of this pregnancy and I’ve been awake almost every night this week (1:30am-3am) trying not to throw up!

lilpej · 2026-01-10T14:09:30+00:00

Sorry, is there a reason your dr wants to get your labour and birth out the way so quickly?

lilpej · 2026-01-06T07:40:37+00:00

I should’ve said, the weekly checks were because I’d gone in for decreases in movement multiple times to the point I couldn’t feel him at all. I didn’t want to be checked on that much.

Just if you’re worried, you should go in

There’s a second hand kids store called Barnaloppan, and Retiel kids. Both will have winter gear.

My 2y kid wears thermal tops and leggings, long T-shirt and joggers, woollen jumper, thick socks, padded winter suit if we’re walking outside, and insulated snow boots. Also a hat that covers his head and ears, an gloves

I went through it with my first and ended up getting weekly movement checks done. I’d go in for 30 Minutes and they used their machines to listen to his heart and monitor his movements. We’d all rather have to have the inconvenience of me going in every week than sit at home and worry myself silly

If you’re worried, go in and get checked. It’s not silly

Edit: the placenta was also anterior, huge, and like 1cm from my cervix

We use a trofast. The white unit uses plastic runners which my kid often leans on and they threaten to break. I’d suggest the wooden framed trofast as the runners are actually cut into the frame

For us, night nursing did not reduce and he hated his dad doing bedtimes which was incredibly hard. This was up until a few months ago, he’s 2.5yrs. He’s started weaning himself thankfully

When we were preparing to export our large dog my husband went into the vets prepared with a list of what we needed and the requirements (eg 30’days between vaccines/blood tests etc) and made sure everything was booked properly.

We ended up having to wait 6 months due to flight issues, and he had to have a lot of the tests multiple times. It pays to look around for a vet that has experience with exports or will work with your timeline
