good luck with your first day backI’m in floods of tears this morning as it’s my first day after 2 weeks off sick. It’s honestly pathetic!
On my first day back after WFH Dec-April I bit my new boss’ (who I had never met) head off and told her I was disgusted at my unwelcome return to work by another senior member of staff. (I was ambushed and had a meeting before I was technically paid).I’m in floods of tears this morning as it’s my first day after 2 weeks off sick. It’s honestly pathetic!
She was measuring on the big side but she wasn't expected to be that size, their measurements are just a guide but talk through your options with your consultant and trust your own instinct!Was your baby measuring okay before hand? My babies head and legs are off the measuring scale, I don’t know what it’s called. Not concerned about the legs so much but her head is large as well as her weight
What are swaddles? Do we need them? I keep seein every influencer with them and they’re advertised everywhere… I didn’t have them with my son 6 years ago and tbh I wasn’t even aware of them

Did you just leave them loose in the cot in normal sleep wear? (Please forgive if a stupid question!)Never used one with any of my kids!
Your options are basically swaddles, blankets (breathable cellular ones tightly tucked around baby) and sleeping bags. Nowadays you also get some combo style things such as premade swaddle bags that you just velcro up and they can either have their arms in or out of the swaddle.Did you just leave them loose in the cot in normal sleep wear?

I've kinda gone down a swaddle rabbit hole and sat there without thinking about other options.
the way it was described to me in nursing school was “fast and furious”So I’m being induced at the end of the week - is it true it’s more painful than naturally going into labour?
Swaddles are great, it really does comfort them, gives them that close feeling like they are back in the womb but try and look for hip healthy ones, babies hips should never be forced closed, should be in a froggy positionView attachment 628724
I heard they make them feel secure and happy. You deffo don't need them though, there are lots of articles all over the place, there isn't a definite answer as with everything!
I was thinking about getting them as I'm terrified about SIDS (I"m sure everyone is though)
Oh hope his/her hips are OK now? Quick question what do you look out for in terms of hip health with baby carriers? For example I've heard varying things about the baby bjorn carrier even though it's been certified as hip healthy by the hip dysplasia institute so I'm a tad confused...Swaddles are great, it really does comfort them, gives them that close feeling like they are back in the womb but try and look for hip healthy ones, babies hips should never be forced closed, should be in a froggy positionMy first was born with hip dysplasia so I'm really hip aware
I had no clue about this with the baby Bjorn carriers I’ve been looking at these. All the info is a bit overwhelming. Sometimes I wish there wasn’t so much choiceOh hope his/her hips are OK now?

i think the most important thing is that baby is in the M position. We have an ergobaby 360 and it was great. It’s essentially so baby is positioned like they are sat into the bums I believe but I don’t know much about the baby bjorn one. Nothing hurts my heart more than seeing hanging babies!Oh hope his/her hips are OK now? Quick question what do you look out for in terms of hip health with baby carriers?

She's 6 now, she had her annual review recently and it looks as good as the other hip although she'll be reviewed in another 2 years just to be sure as she had closed reduction surgery but she's doing brilliantly, thanksOh hope his/her hips are OK now?
