How have people been dealing with unwanted belly touches.?
Went to a work party today and I felt so awkward when people touched my belly without asking!

i hate anyone touching my belly, don't know what it is i just can't stand it, if they do i simply just say please don't do that again im not comfortable with being touched 😌

everyone was very drunk tonight so they didn’t understand no unfortunately 🙃

I tell people around me that I don’t like when people random try and rub my belly just like u wouldn’t randomly go up to someone and touch there baby as it makes me feel uncomfortable and people are really understanding or they will ask first x

I let my family and 2 best friends if want to say hi but i don't want others doing so as they my world

Last night my first cousin asked and i let her and she talked to him and he responded with kick and she had so much joy as its been 27years for her last time felt 1 (her child)
we so close and my family mam and dad sides can't wait for him to be here

I haven't had it much belly-grabbing yet but I had to have words with my Dad about it! He is so excited to be a grandparent but I just said that it was still new to me and I haven't got used to the bump yet. I think he was a bit offended but I think I will be able to offer him a belly-touch soon :)

I get some acquaintances try to reach out but I instantly step back and just smile if im not comfortable. Its weird having strangers touch your belly!

I literally tell people to fuck off and not to touch my belly🤣 the only person i know to touch my belly so much is my partner and i dont mind him touching my belly at all

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
