New here - first time mum!

Hi all!

New to this and a new mummy with my first baby. So here is a little bit about me us. I am 24 yo and my daughter is 8 months old. She is an absolute dream, she sleeps well feeding 1-2 through the night. Eats anything I give her. Even through my pregnancy she was great I had zero symptoms except a HUGE bump!

Anyway a few weeks before I was due I was admitted to hospital a few times with reduced movement and discovered she was breech! We were given our date for c-section but she didn’t want to wait and I ended up labouring very quick (waters went at 3pm and she was born at 1:32am the next morning) which meant I had to give birth naturally having only taken 2 paracetamol when my waters went. It was a pretty terrible experience but I would do it all again for her. We are a military family and due to this my husband only managed to make it back for the last 15 mins of the labour which I think was enough for him!

So now, my girl has been trying to crawl now for the last week, she gets onto all fours and rocks to and fro. I know every baby is different and develops differently but I wondered how long it might be until she takes the leap and actually crawls? Front or backwards I don’t mind she’s just getting so frustrated now.

Thanks Grin
