How are your babies going with sitting up on their own? Are they doing it yet? Close? Not close? Assisted? Unassisted? (Please remember no matter where your baby is at, they are growing and doing perfectly and they will reach their milestones when THEY are ready and not because society says they should be 🤍)

See comments for the explanation!

This is TMI but for weeks I've had pretty loose 💩 but the last two nights I've also been vomiting and have bad pains in my upper back. Do you think I should get in touch with my midwife or just let things ride out?

Does anyone else wake up in the middle of the night and is struggling to go back to sleep for hours? I’ve tried listening to sound frequencies, cooling down the space, reflecting and calming my mind. I just feel wired for no reason.

Does anyone have any tips on how not to feel rubbish in the morning after taking labetalol? It makes me feel weak and sicky about an hour or two after taking it. Presume it’s because my blood pressure has dropped. Feel fine taking it in the evening but haven’t cracked the morning dose yet x
