October 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Already thinking about this! Told my boss I was pregnant this week at 10 weeks, he was so happy for me. He’s recently became a first time Dad and was showing me pictures of his baby. I told him my plans about going back after 6 months and he looked at me like I was mad, am I!? I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine giving it up, I manage a team and am petrified my position won’t be there if I had a year off. My husband gets 6 months full pay so the plan would be for him to have the last 6 months off and I also made it clear to my boss that I would like to go part time. That way we can hopefully parent together 4/7 days rather than just the weekend! I am such an overthinking! 🤣 but this is what I’m struggling with the most, I’ve worked full time since I was 17 (12 years ago) and the max time I’ve had off in one go is 2 weeks when I got married. I’m sooo excited to be a Mum and we decided now was the right time, which it 100% is! But I feel so on edge about not working! I’m sure once I’m on maternity leave I won’t even think about work! Has anyone else felt the same?

Has anyone had mild cramping at 9 weeks ?

I’m 9 weeks and i was coming the stairs with a loaf of laundry with my toddler behind me. And I don’t know what happened mid walking down the stairs whiles talking to my toddler, I slipped and hit my bum quite hard on the steps and slipped all the way down. I don’t know if I should be concerned or not?

I am pregnant with my second baby and don’t have a bump yet and I’m just over 10 weeks pregnant. I have had a scan but that was two weeks ago and all was fine. I have real minimal symptoms too so I’m slightly concerned.

Can anyone identify gender?
