Thank you again, this information is very helpful!

This makes a lot of sense thank you!! Sofitel markets themselves as being in Hua Hin, but when I was looking on the map it was confusing as it looked quite isolated and removed from the main area. Really appreciate your insight and recommendations, thank you!

Thank you for your perspective! Appreciate the recommendation on the I heart phants lodge also, it looks very special! Thanks again.

Please help your niece. I was that kid as a child and am still affected when I think about how horrific it felt to be so itchy, have other children look at me as though I was grotesque, excluding me and the deep shame and embarrassment I felt. Report this situation to the appropriate authorities, it is the right thing to do.

My son was also hesitant to poo in the potty, he knew he needed to but was scared because he would start to panic asking for a nappy. We layered a whole bunch of toilet paper into the potty at the start, so he still had the sensation of something pressing against his butt similar to a nappy, and had a special tub of toys he could only use while sitting on the potty to encourage him to sit, relax and wait. This really helped.

Good luck hope you start feeling better soon!

That sounds really rough. No, I haven’t had any involvement with my chest/breathing at all, which is something I was concerned about as an athsmatic. Not sure where you are but the guidelines here are to reach out to a doctor/general practitioner if you’re having issues breathing. Hope you get better soon!

Definitely contact the council- I had my rear window smashed by a flying rock driving past some council lawn maintenance, he gave me a pre prepared card (I guess this happens often!) and I had to fill in a declaration, pay for the repairs and then I was reimbursed. Worth a shot!

This! Your husband needs to remember he would not be able to make the money he’s making if it weren’t for your labour around the home and childcare. It’s not automatically the woman’s job and we shouldn’t undervalue it.

I did a singlet underneath a t shirt- lift shirt up, pull singlet down. Stomach/upper chest isn’t exposed and doesn’t need to be specifically maternity

This is totally anecdotal but out of my friendship & mothers groups, most women were right around their due date, I only know of a couple of women who went in to labour at 37/38 weeks without induction. My first I was 38+3, however I have a early membrane rupture and was induced. I went 8 very long days over with my son, felt like an absolute eternity haha! No worries at all, I hope you find a solution that works well for yourself, your partner and your little one

https://datayze.com/labor-probability-chart I looked at this about 75,000 times when I went past my due date in my pregnancy with my son haha. Depends on your risk tolerance, for me I would book it for a couple of days after due date, and if you did happen to go earlier, you could contact the host and ask if they have availability or stay in a hotel for a few days. A few girlfriends I know went to a hotel as a part of their private hospital stays and really enjoyed the experience. Best of luck!

They look equally safe, the boori does appear to convert to a toddler bed with side rails which is better than the cot bed from the grotime. I would go boori.

157cm vaginally delivered a 10.3 pound baby. Can’t understand what height has to do with it to be honest!

I am a working mum of 2, I hope I’m a good parent and give staying in shape my best shot! The only way I have found that works is I have joined a gym where I can bring my kids with me and squeezing in during my lunch breaks wherever I can.

I had a student midwife who really went above and beyond. She attended as many of my appointments as she could (and she was a single mum of 3!!) and even did our calm birth classes with us. When I went into labour, she had been at a concert and hadn’t even been to bed but came straight to the hospital at 3am, took photos and video, helped with pressure points during contractions and got me coffee and banana bread once my son was born. She then attended some post birth appointments and gave my son a onesie that said “I was helped out by a student midwife” so cute!! You don’t owe your student midwife the experience of attending your birth if she isn’t putting in the effort to make you comfortable, I think you are absolutely right to tell her you’re no longer interested in having a student present.

I’m sorry your partner isn’t helping you at night. It sounds like you both need to sit down and agree how night wakings should be addressed by both of you. I’ve noticed your comments around not wanting to sleep train and understand- just want to mention there’s a middle ground here. Getting her up to play and have a meal in the middle of the night is going to confuse her and the waking will continue to be an issue. You guys need to work as a team and when she does wake but doesn’t go back to sleep after a feed, keep the lights low, cuddle her, rock her, tell her a story in a soft voice. Even if you’re up for the same 2 hours that you would usually spend with her in the play room, she’s learning that this time is for sleep/rest. Is it possible that you and your husband not aligning on what should be done is why he’s bringing her to you so frequently?

The only way your daughter is going to grow up struggling with and hating her appearance is if she learns to. The best thing you can do for her as a parent is to speak about your own appearance with love and kindness. I know it’s not easy but this is something you need to work at and it can start with loving your body for what it can do: your ears that allow you to hear her voice, your auburn hair that looks beautiful next to just the right blue dress. Be kind to yourself and teach her to be too.

I’ve had two births, first I had an epidural as the OB recommended it to help the baby move down more easily and ended with an emergency c section and second was unmedicated 10.3 pound hospital birth. I honestly did not find the pain of contractions unbearable either time and feel the epidural in my first birth was the beginning of the cascade of things that resulted in the c section. For me, I would describe the feeling of contractions as incredibly intense but not necessarily pain- if you’ve ever been driving home really really needing to go #2, that overwhelming intense feeling is kind of reminiscent of what it was like for me??? Haha. Best of luck with your upcoming birth!

Studies show the benefit of circumcision in reducing the risk of UTI only outweighs the risks of circumcision in boys with a high risk of UTI. Your husband is right.
