I’ve struggled with symptoms the whole pregnancy (I.e fatigue and nausea and the rest) but this week has hit me like a ton of bricks. Going to work feels impossible because I am absolutely bone achingly tired every minute of the day. I wake up and I’m ready to sleep again. Anyone else in the same position? 😭

This may be a silly question but are there any key visual indicators to determine when baby is ready to move to next carseat after their infant one? Thank you

Did anyone ever experience awful nightmares while pregnant? I’m talking extremely graphic nightmares that are making me never want to go to sleep again!

Hey everyone my baby girl is 5 weeks old and she’s been in her next to me since we got home which is fab… recently she’s been moving her way right over to the side of the next to me… should I be worried? We do position her in the middle and we have nothing else in the next to me…
