Pregnancy fears?

Anyone scared of having another? It’s made my drive go way down and even with bc and being careful I swear everyday I have phantom kicks and I pulled a muscle that feels like round ligament pain, nausea, extreme tiredness - everything from pregnancy when I had just found out. Anyone else going crazy or just me? I want more kids but having to do c section and needing time to repair has me worried out of my mind.

Lol, I’ve already taken 3 pregnancy tests. I know there’s no way I could be pregnant, but I feel nauseous sometimes and just get worried I am. I do want more kids in the future, but I want to enjoy and focus being a mom to this one first. It’s a weird feeling, right?

Girl! I am going through the same thing right now. We're using bc and condoms but I'm so worried I might be pregnant again. Like, I haven't even recovered from this one. I want another baby, but not right now! 😖

Same. Had a nightmare last night that I was pregnant again, even though I’m on birth control and I’m literally never in the mood to have sex, so I can’t even remember the last time we did. 🤣

Also, I thought I was the only one who feels phantom kicks.

Same. Sacred to death of it happening again!!!

YES TOTALLY. I don't want to take birth control because my OB/GYN said it decreases supply and I already have a low supply so hubby and I are being extra safe but after a c section, I do NOT want to be pregnant before I'm healed

I had my husband get a vasectomy because I was so scared lol 😂

Bleeding while you pregnant…

I'm six weeks pregnant with my second child. At the beginning of the pregnancy, I had some light spotting. At five weeks, I had an ultrasound and a blood test for hCG levels. The ultrasound showed a bleeding wound, but it doesn't affect pregnancy. My hCG increased by 169% in two days. After all these tests, I no longer saw blood on the toilet paper after going to the bathroom. Then yesterday, I had a little difficulty going to the bathroom, and after that, I saw a small amount of blood on the toilet paper again. Nothing today. I'm going for an ultrasound on Friday, but I'm still uneasy. Has anyone else had this?

Bad back

Is anyone else's back in absolute shambles? Both my upper back and lower back where my tailbone is, is constantly aching and it hurts to rotate and move sometimes 😅

Growth scan at 34 weeks

Hi, I went to the midwife yesterday and have been referred for an urgent growth scan as baby has dropped from the 90th to 40th percentile over the last three measurements. Has anyone experienced this? So stressful 😔

Julia Donaldson Party

Hi all, I’m throwing a Julia Donaldson party for my soon to be one year old but finding it hard to find decorations etc!

I have a sign, banner, zog and Gruffalo cupcakes and of course a cake! Also going to bring some books and toys to display.

Just wondered if anyone has done anything similar and could share any ideas?

I know he won’t remember but I want to make it amazing. We aren’t renting a soft play we’re just buying a slide set and a ball pit etc so my son can use them at home! So I just to make sure the theme pops so I can take lots of pictures and show him when he’s older!

Is It Just Me?

Is it just me, or are babies these days developing in their own completely unique way and fast!!

My little one is 6 months now, and honestly it feels like every week brings something new.

Sitting up started around 4–5 months, even though tummy time has never been the favourite activity. Rolling is no problem, but the real interest now is in attempting to shuffle around and explore
Standing with support has become a whole new hobby — anything sturdy enough becomes a piece of “furniture gym equipment.”
Weaning began at 4 months, and by 5 months there was already interest in snacks labelled for 7 months and up. And despite all the movement and curiosity, sleeping in their own crib has been completely fine too.

It’s fascinating watching how different babies grow at their own pace — some rush ahead in certain areas, some take their time, and all of it is perfectly normal. They really do come with their own little blueprint.

My LO definitely needs to slow down 🤣😅

What spelling is better for our boy

Me and my partner are trying to decide what spelling is best for our boy so people don’t butcher his name it’s pronounced (Kam-ar-ree)
