August 2026 Babies 🇺🇸

How do I even function being a single mom. I’m 19 weeks pregnant will be 20 on Sunday. And I just kicked my baby daddy out. How do you function/ afford/ handle it. I’m just so lost. I barely make any money but it’s too much to get any kind of assistance. I’m just so mf lost.

I know a lot of moms on here aren’t local, but I’m 17 weeks and really wanting to connect with more people going through the same thing 🤍 Would anyone be down to FaceTime or chat?

TBH I think I’d say the Charlie horses because I get them constantly and especially while laying down if I move my leg too fast or at an angle it’s the WORST feeling 😭

So I’m currently pregnant with our second and are deciding whether to have our baby moon just my husband and I, or as the last family trip of a family party of 3.

On one hand, we get to spend time as a couple and enjoy each other without having to be in parent mood. On the other had, this will be the final vacation our son will have with just his mom and dad.

Also I want to add, we do have a Disney trip planned in Nov already for my sons birthday (it’s a yearly tradition).

So which one should I plan?

Just want anyone’s opinion, thank you!!

I’m 17 weeks and I’m already feeling baby girl kicking or poking not sure what she’s doing exactly. With my son I felt him pretty early as well but I wanna say it was a week or so later then baby girl! I felt her jolt like really hard the first time at my prenatal appointment 2 days ago when OB was using the Doppler applying pressure! A day before that It was like a fish in water but nothing too crazy. But since that appointment it’s just real hard. I’m not too suprised it’s early only because I was already used to it being early with my son given I had a posterior placenta and I’m only 125 pounds and my son was a big baby. But my son was definitely not this active until 21-24 weeks that i was really feeling him consistently. I already felt baby girl about 6 times in 3 days and each time it just shocks me how hard she is moving now like I really can’t believe I feel her already it’s crazy. Like why is she this active already lmfaoo like girl get some sleep. It’s almost like she’s just eager to let me know she’s there. 😭
