I’ve officially got PGP, went into the office and commuted and can barely walk. Feels like I’ve been punched in the vag. Luckily I don’t have to go in again!!

Feel your pain, I had it really bad and was forced to go into the office 🙄 Work on the third floor and some bugger kept breaking the lift, was not fun ☹️

I remember that feeling, a week before Baby T arrived my partner went away for a night and I thought this will be the last time I’m in my own for god knows how long. 6 weeks later he’s had to go away again for work and me and the little man are here on our own.. it’s much better this way x best of luck with your pending arrival x
 
I just went back on the pill as I’m too much of a wimp to get any of the more invasive options like the coil or implant. Which sounds ridiculous after having a c section being scared of having any of those done but still 😂 it’s pissed me off though because I’ve bled almost continuously since being back on it so I’m gonna have to go back to the drs!

the baby seemed to sleep loads yesterday and he’s slept really well so far tonight, he seems fine in himself and is having wet and dirty nappies, feeding normal etc but it’s making me suspicious that he’s sleeping so well. Does anyone else find they just overthink and feel anxious about everything their baby does? 😔

Hope you’re managing to get a good sleep @Laughalong, can’t wait for your updates! 🤍
 
I think I’ll go on the pill for now but I really wanted a bit of time with no hormones after being pregnant. I’m hoping expressing will keep my period off for a few months!

@Elle Woods I’m the same - if baby sleeps loads I’m paranoid like what’s wrong even though they’re eating and nappies are fine. I think they just go through phases - mine has days with hardly any sleep and then days they’re hardly ever awake !
 
Time for my first silly husband post!
I was taking it easy yesterday so let my husband deal with everything and I had an early night. I got woken up by his alarm buzzing right through the bed, no idea what the time was so wake him up and ask why he’s got an alarm on. He flusters about, says he set one for work so turned it off and we go back to sleep. I then hear baby fidgeting around 2:30 this morning, so I nudge him and say I think he’s hungry, is he due a feed at 3? He jumps up straight away, what? What? I set an alarm for 12:30, he’s missed a feed!!!
he has no recollection of me waking him up and asking about the alarm, now the poor boys not been fed for 5 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️ thankfully he seems to be taking plenty and must not have been hungry yet!!

It’s completely normal to worry but even more so in your situation I think! He’s probably just having a growth spurt or preparing for a leap, or just having a tired day. How old is he in corrected weeks? Could it be the week 4 leap? They say babies get fussy before them but nubs just sleeps loads before he starts doing new things.

Good luck @Laughalong, hope it goes nice and smoothly for you and you’re having baby cuddles later today 💙
 
Well done baby Melon 👏🏼

Someone had his first night in his cot rather than his snuzpod and he was fully making the most of the space!! He woke up sideways with his feet in my face 😅

Question - what did everybody eat / what are you planning on eating in the first few weeks with a newborn? I thought I’d use my maternity leave before he’s here to batch cook and freeze a load of meals but it’s becoming increasingly apparent that I simply cannot be arsed to do that and I’m feeling like it’s just going to be deliveroo for weeks on end

We had some take aways but my partner cooks so it was just normal food for us really 😂

Takeaways and other half will do some cooking too! I also imagine our families will probably bring us some meals too
