Postpartum

I loved being pregnant but I’m also super excited to have my body back to just myself! I’ve missed being able to lay comfortably in bed and being able to cuddle my man without a huge basketball belly between us. I sleep better (when I’m able), I can breathe a little easier, I have no heartburn, and I can enjoy the rest of the summer a bit more, especially now that shes here. 1 week pp and still in a bit of pain just trying to recover. So many different feelings… but right now, I’m just grateful. 💛

Wow you look great! I can’t believe just a few weeks ago you had a huge belly! Did it go back in right away?? I’m a FTM and 36 weeks pregnant really hoping my tummy goes flat quickly like yours!!

Oooh i relate. I went 10 days overdue and was so swollen and huge by the end of it that when i gave birth i felt so relieved… and i slept better in the first week of having my daughter than i had in the whole last trimester despite thr nighth feedings 😂

🥰 she’s here!!!! Congratulations!!!!! You look amazing! Hope you’re feeling good too!

You look so great!!! Are you using a belly band or anything? I hope I can bounce back like that!

You look amazing!💕

Seeing a lot of October babies announcements on social media

😳 I feel like I’m the only one who haven’t announced my October baby! Everyday I open social media and someone is announcing their October baby and I even started to see some November babies being announced.

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭

Prenatal/postnatal

How long are we supposed to take this for after birth? It’s been 3 months.

Today is C-section day!

I’m nervous, but baby will be here today! 😊

Help me pick a pregnancy pillow.

Am I a bad mom?

Hey guys, im pregnant with my second baby and im having a hard time with it.

I wanted to have a second baby so so bad and my husband and I started trying and got pregnant a few months later.. so far i have hated everything about this pregnancy, the morning sickness started at 5 weeks and lasted till about week 17, im uncomfortable walking, sitting, standing, laying down. im 24 weeks now and I cant get excited about anything. I dont look at baby clothes and get excited to meet my baby, I can feel baby kicking a lot more and I dont get excited about that. I cant wait for this pregnancy to be over but because im miserable and not because I want to meet my baby.

My last pregnancy i was terrified, it was unplanned and I wasn't married (my family is religious) but I still felt lots of love and care towards my baby and couldn't wait to meet him and the closer I got to my due date the more excited I got to meet him.

What is wrong with me this pregnancy? I don't understand why i cant seem to get excited about anything, especially meeting my baby.. its making me feel like a horrible mother. I know deep down i love and care for this baby, but I still feel emotionally disconnected from this pregnancy for some reason..

Any advice is welcome, I just want to know why i feel this way and any ideas on how to change it so I can get excited to meet my baby..🥺
