It's the toddler thread that scares me!I’ve just read through the whole current new baby thread and put the fear of god into myself
Toddlers can be hard work but they’re also so much more rewarding than newborns imo! They can tell you they love you and give you hugs, and just do so many sweet or funny things. Newborns are sweet but a lot of work without much reward for a whileIt's the toddler thread that scares me!

I just can't get over the fact they need fed every two hours how do people not do stupid tit from the sleep deprivation and end up accidentally hurting themself lolI’ve just read through the whole current new baby thread and put the fear of god into myself
Some babies tend to go 4 hours during the day and at night even longer. My first 2 did.
This time around she wanted it every hour during the day but at night she'd still go 3-4 hours. So it wasn't too bad
they tend to go a bit longer at night!My best advice is if your partner gets paternity, take shifts.
My partner used to do most of the night and then I'd leave him in bed and take baby downstairs when they wake
It made sure we were both getting at least 5 hours sleep. (although I always woke up when he was doing the feeds ect but at least I wasn't fully awake)
Yayyy boys clubMust be the day for boys today! Found out we’re expecting a little guy over here too
God my nausea today 
never known anything like it and it's really got me down today, I've been such a witch. My other half had soup for lunch and it made me gag looking at it, but then I managed a pizza for tea 
I don't know what's going on lol

Put your hand up if you're in triage because your waters went 36 hours before your scheduled section 
Oh no, what happens in a scenario where your waters break before a planned section? I imagine that'll be me tbh. Sending love and wishing you well. It's time to meet your little one eeekkkPut your hand up if you're in triage because your waters went 36 hours before your scheduled section
We've been on the monitor and all is good, they've swabbed me and it's definitely my waters. I'm waiting to see the Dr but the midwife says they'll be squeezing me in today. Unfortunately they're super busy tonight, both Drs are currently off doing emergency sections so I'm having to wait. I've started having some period-type cramping but it's bearable and still very irregular.Oh no, what happens in a scenario where your waters break before a planned section?

Just got to wait and see
Pregnancy insomnia is hitting hard… 31 weeks.

Had the worst nightmare woke up to him kicking the life out of me as if to say mam I’m fine don’t worry 
god pregnancy is a bloody rollercoaster
woke up to him kicking the life out of me as if to say mam I’m fine don’t worry god pregnancy is a bloody rollercoasterTell me about it. And what do you do when you can’t get them to settle for love nor money? Like if they wake on the hour every hour for multiple days? How do you manage that? I’m grumpy on 7 hours sleep!
Honestly you'll be surprised with what you can cope with. I used to need 8 hours a night and I've not had that for the last 2 years
you just learn to function 
At 4 months my daughter started waking up every 20 mins so I put her in bed next to me instead of in the snuzpod and that was that. We still sleep together now she’s 3 but she does 12 hours straight so I don’t mind.
Did anyone end up going on mat leave super early? My PGP is just horrific and I'm struggling like really struggling. I'm maybe getting 2 hours sleep a night and it's undoubtedly having a massive impact on my work. I'm wondering if I should take mat leave as early as I can as I won't get paid for being off sick.
My mental health has spiralled all I can think is how I'm letting everyone down including my child.

Don’t panic! Not until the morning of my 20 week scan did I feel teeny tiny flutters!
