Mommas with toddlers.

How are y’all handling the morning sickness and exhaustion all while having a toddler? I’m hanging by a thread so to speak. I’m absolutely exhausted and I’m only 6 weeks and 5 days. I feel bad for my toddler because I don’t feel up to playtime or anything.

I have been feeling the same way and I’m only 4 weeks 3 days 🥺 I was not this sick with my first so it’s been an adjustment… I say just give yourself grace! I’ve definitely given my daughter more TV Time than usual, especially today. Hang in there!

I have a 15 month old. We are both just getting over hand foot and mouth virus. Luckily I haven’t experienced too many pregnancy symptoms yet but I’m gearing up for it. The exhaustion hit me at 8-10 weeks last time

Im 13 weeks pregnant with a high-energy 3 year old boy, and it's been rough. Every time I'm puking, he needs to be there. It's exhausting. I'm exhausted. But, on the more positive note now that I'm moving into my 2nd trimester, the sickness is slowing down, and I'm finally regaining energy. We're starting to get back to our normal ways, and I'm able to play and go to parks again. I think its just a matter of time, hang in there.

Induction?

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

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!

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
