Eye discharge

Please help! My 2 month old has an eye discharge (green) since couple of days after he was born. I asked the pediatrician about it and she said is “ normal”. She said it will go away and is due to his eye tear ducts being so small and not fully developed. Has this happened to your baby????

Walking

Hey guys ! My baby turned 1 March 1st and we are still not walking :( anybody in the same boat? How do you encourage them to start walking ? I feel like if I don’t nudge him to start he will go forever without trying lol he has no interest. Wont even stand without holding on to something.

Baby Bump..

Im 15 weeks and I barely have a bump. I know it’s normal. I only show when I eat a good meal haha. It’s weird cause most days I don’t feel like I’m carrying a baby. I should be feeling my baby move too but I don’t. This is my first pregnancy so that could be why.

Just a bit of a safety tip for anyone that needs it! 🤗

Abdominal pain/heartburn

I’m 28 weeks today and had my first belt of heartburn Tuesday eve which subsequently lasted the entire night and into Wednesday. I’ve been off work for the last two days as I just feel completely exhausted all of a sudden. The heartburn seems to have gone but I still have abdominal pain which is making me feel full...

Contractions?
