advice needed

Our twins are due in November and would like my first big purchase to be a cot that slots alongside our bed. When searching for UK options the only offering is a product off Amazon with one star rating? Does anybody from the UK have any recommendations? Will we have to ship something from across...

I’m not sure where else to post this, so if anyone has better suggestions please lmk! I’ll be giving birth in a couple weeks and my OB is in my insurance network, but I looked up the pediatrician who will round on my baby and they aren’t. How does that work? We expected a very low L&D cost...

I’m just looking to hear everyone’s stories— what you planned vs what happened & if there’s anything you’d change? I’m 35+1 & I keep going back and forth between vaginal and c section deliveries. These babies would be my first, initially i went in with the idea that i wanted to experience a...

I’ll start this off with saying I’m absolutely prepared for the worst. I’m quite positive this isn’t going to end well. But here’s the situation I’m in: I’m 8 + 4 weeks today, based on last period. My cycles are typically 30-35 days. On Jan 26 (7 + 1), I started having a bit of brown...

We have a 6 month old. So far she’s played with wood, cloth, rubber and silicone toys without batteries. As she’s getting older I’ve seen lots more suggestions for vtech toys (light up, make noise and/or move) We are a quiet house, but we play lots of music and sing songs, and go outside. We...

Hi all- I’d love some advice for my current situation. I’m 34yo, this is my second pregnancy this year. I had an ectopic in May, treated with MTX, so I’m just hoping that this isn’t another 😕 Here’s my timeline 7/31, CD24- first positive OPK 8/1, CD25 - intercourse, OPK still positive...

Hi! I am currently 8w3d with identical twins! I had a missed miscarriage at 9weeks back in December so this is not my first pregnancy. I go for an ultrasound next week to (hopefully) find out if they're mono/di or mono/mono twins. Just looking for any and all advice! I'm a worrier naturally so...

When did y’all have time to clean? I have 6 month old twins and they don’t let me do anything. The most I can do is make myself and my partner something to eat that’s quick, wash their bottles, and load the dishwasher. I don’t have time to vacuum, dust, or clean the bathrooms. How did y’all do...

Hi! I had a c section in September of 2022, so she is 5 months now. My husband has started talking about having a 2nd baby... soon! I said maybe May or June we could try (I really don't want another summer pregnancy!). I'd end up with 2 under 2 if we did this, I'm curious how you did this...

Apologies for long post in advance! Hi all FTM mom with a 7 week old baby girl, and she is struggling to gain weight. I was reading a few other threads and sounds like everyone at this age is eating 3-3.5oz per feeding 7-8 times a day. How is everyone able to get so much in their baby? We are...

I am 9w5d pregnant with twins and have been experiencing debilitating nausea, fatigue and dizziness since 6 wks. I vomit daily but the amount of vomiting has gone down since taking Zofran, although I still feel nauseous all. the. time. I’m also taking unisom with b6 at night but I’m not...

Hi. I would like to have some opinions on my situation. Had three very heavy bleedings of bright red and blood clots bigger than a 2 euro coin: at 12 weeks, at 23+5 weeks and 25+5 weeks. First pregnancy at 31 y.o. All followed pretty much the same pattern: out of nothing gushing of bright red...

I asked and was approved by the mods to post this survey request. TL;DR I'm building a website (never to be put online) at University where part of the class is to do User Research. I want to ask for 5 minutes of your time to fill out this survey for my research...

Hello, I am hoping to receive some advice. I am shopping for a house for my family of three. Our LO is a baby and we plan to have a few more. We found a wonderful home — good schools, good neighborhood, right price, and right size. Come to find out that the next door neighbor is a registered sex...

UPDATE: for anyone coming back to this post, here's a little update. Tuesday night after making this post we put her to bed at 6:30 and she woke up at 4:58. Then Wednesday night she slept from 7 until 6:30! Thursday morning I covered a tiny light on her baby monitor and we put her in a higher...

Hi All. Kind of a stupid question but I love this sub and always get great responses/advice. I know it's perfectly normal for babies to not poop every day. That not what this is about. I'm wondering about the quantity. My baby is 6 months and e.b.f. when she stopped pooping every day and...

TW: MC / pregnancy loss (Background: MMC in July w/ D&C) I got a light positive FRER on the 18th at about 9 DPO. Went in for labs yesterday (11 DPO) and beta HCG was 33, but progesterone was only 5.9. I can’t find much of anything online about progesterone levels this early and I’m unsure how...

This is my first pregnancy and I’m really struggling mentally with the thought of twins. First scan there were two sacs but only one heartbeat, second scan reported two healthy heartbeats. I find myself upset and sad because when I dreamed of having a baby, I dreamed of doing them one at a time...

my baby will be 1 in 4 days, and her birthday party is the following day, this coming saturday. i’m pretty notorious for having the same conversation with my boyfriend; we won’t allow x y z or only allow x y z, but when it comes to a family event, we both are too nervous to say anything. i am...

We have finally plucked up the courage to book a foreign holiday with our 28 month old (f) twins. Not a long flight, UK Heathrow (T5) to Greece (Thessaloniki). Thankfully due to an abundance of air miles we’ve booked BA Club Europe (short haul, business class), so we’ve got a whole row of 6...
