My little one had really bad cradle cap her hair would come out in chunks with the bits of skinAny recommendations for cradle cap? I keep finding myself picking at it
I think il have to invest in some of that, thank you. I think now the worlds opening up abit I need to look half decent and not like I’ve been dragged through a bush backwardsBeing a FTM is so hard, you definitely do struggle with that shift from just being you to being mum 24:7. The newborn days are so intense, and you don’t get much time to switch off from it, and that can be really difficult to manage when you are used to just having yourself to sort out. But as they get older it does ease, I promise you.
Ahhh the baby hair growthdefinitely not fun! The front of my hair is always totally wild looking because of my post partum new growth hairs. And just when they get to a decent length I have another baby if you are struggling with them at the front, or if they are sticking up all over the place, you can get a thing which is like a mascara tube and wand, with hair gel inside. I use it every day to tame the insanity!
For periods, have you ever tried a menstrual cup? I have heavy periods in general, and find a cup holds so much more than a tampon (and I hate pads so never use them). They can be a bit icky to start, but once you get used to it I swear they are an absolute godsend. I wish I’d discovered them 20 years ago.

I haven’t tried a cup, they look fiddly and I’m super clumsy so can see myself dropping it everywhere and it looking like a bloodbathplease say that periods start to get lighter as the months go on…
Two pregnancies in and my periods are defintiely heavier than pre babies. I remember with my first I had my first period after birth at Xmas and bled all over the mother in laws dining room chairs. I was absolutely mortified.I think il have to invest in some of that, thank you.

I never had this the other times but this time, my back, my knees, shoulders.. Even my shins hurt?! WhatRandom post pregnancy symptom:
Achey joints.
This is baby 4 and the first time I’ve ever had it, but a friend said she had it with all 3, and another friend also has it currently after birth. I felt like a properly old lady, every joint was so sore and creaky! Never knew that was a thing.
I had forgotten about this- defintiely had it first time around but not this time thank goodness!Random post pregnancy symptom:

So glad I’m not the only one it struck out of the blue! I was waking up in the mornings and my fingers especially would be agony! Wrists and ankles were awful too, but my fingers! Made me scared for being an old lady. My poor wee granny has bad arthritis and it must be absolute hell living like that every dayI never had this the other times but this time, my back, my knees, shoulders.. Even my shins hurt?! What
Oh my god, thank you! I am SO ACHEY, my legs and back in particular! I’ve not seen anyone else say this. I genuinely feel like I’ve aged about 30 yearsRandom post pregnancy symptom:

Oh yes, thank you for mentioning this. My knees are SO painful. Every morning and in the night when I get up. It's such a strange one! Really hoping it's not a permanent thingRandom post pregnancy symptom:

I’m hoping a couple of sports massages may help. Did your friend say how long it lasted for?!

Thank goodness, I feel like such a crippleMine has gone already at 3 weeks pp, but my friend said hers lasted a few months. It definitely goes though!
Yeah I'm over a month in now and it's still thereMine has gone already at 3 weeks pp, but my friend said hers lasted a few months. It definitely goes though!
Do they test little ones? Personally I wouldn’t do anything about it for such a young baby, unless it persists or more symptoms appear. But you could phone your doctor or health visitor and ask themWhat would you ladies do about a 3 month old with a cough? Me, husband and my 3 yr old all had covid in January when I was pregnant and at her birth so feeling it’s unlikely to be covid but not sure if we should test her.
I'm 7 months in now!Mine has gone already at 3 weeks pp, but my friend said hers lasted a few months. It definitely goes though!
You’re not being unreasonable at all! Why would your Dad be angry? I would just go down the route of “sorry I don’t feel comfortable doing it right now” so you’re not necessarily saying no but hopefully she will forget about it. I hope I don’t offend but it seems like a bit of an odd requestGuys can I have some advice please how would you guys feel about this?
So I had my 2nd little girl a week ago, when I had my first little girl my mum died 4 weeks after she was born. One of my aunties has just text me to ask if she can have a lock of each of my girls hair to put in a box and bury with my mum. Like dig a hole above her coffin and put the box in there.
The idea horrifies me actually and it’s made me really upset. Am I being totally unreasonable? I want to to say no but I know my dad would be really angry if I did.
I’m glad you think so too I think it’s actually horrific! Thanks for reassuring me I’m not crazy.You’re not being unreasonable at all! Why would your Dad be angry?
