I weighed myself at 10 weeks pp and wish I never did ! It made me feel so down as I'm obviously heavier than pre pregnancy but we forget our bodies took 9 months to grow our babies so why should we be made to expect our bodies to lose it do quickly. Especially when the first couple of weeks are so exhausting.. who has the time or Energy to cook healthy meals. Your definitely not the only one going through this 🩷

Omg yes. All I've been eating is takeaways and easy to cook processed food at home. Yet am telling myself I need to lose weight haha. Definitely ur ryt there pregnancy isn't easy and it's a huge change to the body so we should definitely give it time to heal and get back to what it was x

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
