i was just telling my husband that i feel so confused and lost about what to do once we're discharged from the hospital and we bring the baby back home. i'm just gonna stare at the baby, stare at my husband... wait for the baby to cry (i guess) and then feed him? absolutely no clue. maybe other S+TMs can share their experiences & how they felt coming back from the hospital and kind of what to expect.
Yes happy birthday @Blue1989 good luck it’s my nana birthday today too we were the best of friends god rest her soul xxx

It all surprisingly falls into place but that is pretty much what you do
Rest up as much as possible to recover. Don't do too much too soon. There's no rush. Just take it all in and get settled
Just go with the flow for the first few weeks
You’ll know x
We are on day 3 off caring for our newborn at home, shes 5 days old now. I had an emergency c section so had 2 days in hospital. The midwifes at the hospital will help you, they did me. Nappy changes feeds whether bottle or breast, winding everything you need they will explain and help you with or they did in my experience. Some of it comes down to instinct but not all. My partner and i just run through the checklist, has she been fed, burped,changed and work down the list. Good luck and cliche i know but enjoy it x
HiAt what week did any of you (if you did) have an early scan privately? I’m finding this week I’m so anxious and crying a lot, mainly as I’ve had 2 IBS flares & a stressful work week so every twinge & cramp from IBS I’m thinking the worst. I’ll be 6 weeks Monday so thinking to go next Friday just to check things are in the right place
I’m 9w+4, had a private scan at 7w+4 because I have PCOS and wanted to check all was ok. I wanted to have a scan bang on 6 weeks but the scan place actually said it’s best to wait till around 7 weeks as you’re more certain to get a heartbeat then (assuming all is ok). But recommend ringing up and speaking to them, my experience was that they’re lovely and will advise on the best day. Hope you’re ok- I had quite bad cramps and twinges about weeks 4-5 which freaked me out because I had no idea that happened until I actually got pregnant! I remember having twinges on my left side and assumed the worst but everything was fine during the scan so fingers crossed for you!
I remember with our first.. bringing him home and he was asleep in his car seat and we both looked at each like what now?!?!?! So don’t feel like you’re alone
Just follow the baby’s lead really. Take any peace to rest & recover!
Hi everyone!
I’m 9w+4, my first, had a scan 2 weeks ago and all ok
got an NHS scan in 3 weeks and a midwife appt in just under 2! I’ve got to say I’m really struggling with food aversions, it sets my nausea off so badly and I was sick quite a bit yesterday. My issues are specifically with cooking meat, which is problematic as my dogs eat cooked meat Mr Muffin has been helping but honestly the smell just lingers for ages, did anyone have a really bad aversion but got over it? I don’t wanna spend the next 7 months like this 
going to restaurants or cafes where there’s no strong smells is fine but I can’t really eat out exclusively until baby muffin is here lol.

I am a raging hormonal mess today.
My advice, if you like cats and you’re watching the Sandman on Netflix, don’t watch episode 11

Yeah, no one knows what they’re doing to be honest. It’s highly daunting. Like Donz said, the nurses help loads, when we had my little girl the couple in the bay next to us stayed an extra night so they could make the most of the support they were getting.
Your main thing for the first few days will be to establish feeding (and if it’s breastfeeding just install yourself on the sofa with a packet of biscuits because cluster feeding is hard work.)
Not often said but not everyone bonds straight away with their baby and this is totally normal - dont worry, the bonding does come.
Happy birthday @Blue1989 thinking of you!
@tattle420 when we got home we put the car seat in the middle of the living room floor and said right what the duck do we do now. But honestly it all comes together and you will work it out
