I forgot to put breast pads in this morning. Not good.
There’s a Facebook page and website called ‘can I breast feed in it’. People submit clothes they’ve found that happen to be breast feeding friendly from shops all over.Okay so mum tums, how do I dress it? Really struggling to find clothes that suit. It was winter last time I had my son I could wear big jumpers but it’s too hot now, also struggling to find dresses with buttons for breastfeeding
So hard, it’s learning all over again, I’ve got some smocks but think they are making me look bigger as they are a bit tentyThere’s a Facebook page and website called ‘can I breast feed in it’. People submit clothes they’ve found that happen to be breast feeding friendly from shops all over.
Sainsbury’s have some dresses and jumpsuits at the min that have buttons, maybe not the best for Mum tum though.
I’ve got a few smock dresses and high waisted shorts with a baggy T-shirt half tucked in which are getting me through the current weather but it’s bloody hard when you’ve dressed a certain way for years and years to know where to go when your shape changes and I’m still not really sure if they even work
I wish I knew I’m wearing lighter trousers and t shirts, you know like patterned summery trousers? With the elastic waistOkay so mum tums, how do I dress it?

Anything high waisted. Or pulling in knickers with a dress.Okay so mum tums, how do I dress it? Really struggling to find clothes that suit. It was winter last time I had my son I could wear big jumpers but it’s too hot now, also struggling to find dresses with buttons for breastfeeding
They sound good! Fed up of black maternity leggings now but also want to hide my new veiny legsI wish I knew I’m wearing lighter trousers and t shirts, you know like patterned summery trousers? With the elastic waist
thank you! Need to get some pull in knickers!!Anything high waisted. Or pulling in knickers with a dress.
I literally still live in leggings and a t shirt.
Yes I’ve felt like this. I’m much more aware of my own mortality and also the fear that if anything happened to my daughter I’d not want to live.Tw death / fear of dying
Hi all I’m 11 weeks PP and really happy but for the past few weeks been getting a bit emotional almost every day, usually teary, as I’ve been thinking a lot more about my own mortality. Mainly about my daughter being without me, dying whilst she’s so young and her not remembering me etc.
I am just wondering if this is a normal part of becoming a mother or whether a red flag for PND. I definitely feel like a more emotional person since having her (can’t watch certain things on tv etc).
a friend of mine with 4 kids told me having children made her an emotional wreck so I wasn’t sure whether this was just part of the transition of having someone else to care for. I’ve not had any warning signs for PND and feel happy in myself otherwise.
have any other new parens experienced this? X
I’m 10 days PP and feeling very similar! I think I’ve cried every day since giving birth, so happy with my little girl but I’m a ball of nerves. I feel so anxious about everything, especially dying. Also feel very needy and emotional towards my own parents and their mortality too. My partner has been so lovely about it but I keep wondering if he thinks I’ve lost it.. I feel a bit like that myself not sure if this is just normal ‘baby blues’ or not!?Tw death / fear of dying

I feel like this is quite a common thing for parents because you have a whole new person to look after and care for. My eldest is 2 and I still worry about this.Tw death / fear of dying

Welcome! There is a pregnancy thread on here tooGoing to join this as I’m newly pg. my first is almost 9 so I’m starting over from scratch it feels!
It will all come rushing back (in one horrifying moment ). You never lose it, it’s like riding a bike! Congratulations!Going to join this as I’m newly pg. my first is almost 9 so I’m starting over from scratch it feels!
Yep, I have. My little one is 5 months and I've thought more about things like this than ever! So much so I said to my partner the other night that we should have a convo about who would have our baby if anything happened to both of us! We are going to sort life insurance too etc. I'd never thought twice about things like this before having a baby.Tw death / fear of dying

That is so annoying! Do they have a main duty number you can ring to let them know they've stood you up and you've waited in for them?My health visitor was due out today and hasn't bothered showing up or even calling me to let me know she's not coming last time I text her she never even bothered getting back to me. Feel like I've wasted my morning and afternoon sitting about waiting on her
I don't have their direct number but do have the gp number where they're based from so will call them in the morning! It's not that hard to just let me know they're not coming so I don't waste my day waiting aboutThat is so annoying!
