- By MeccaMummAnyone else hate others passing around their newborn? I mean, I feel fine when it’s my partner or my parents. Or even my MIL. But I really don’t like it when anyone else holds her.

- By SammyR22sI’m currently 18+3 and the last week has been so draining and exhausting. I’ve been in and out of the ED 4 times. Thankfully baby is fine but my right kidney had mild hydronephrosis.

- By Vanessa198vHello everyone My daughter was born with 3mm Vsd in her heart. We saw the cardiologist yesterday and he was very positive telling us that small holes like this tend to close on their own and that she should just be monitored at this stage.
