Announcement boxes

Posted a few weeks ago asking for ideas to announce the news to family, and decided to go for boxes for everyone. Have loved buying bits and getting the Cricut out to make bits! So excited to give them to people next weekend! Will be 19 weeks - anyone still yet to share the news?

I am a bit confused, are you gifting family members baby clothes for your baby?

@Charlotte no, there's just a baby grow/bib/booties in each box for people to open and get the idea šŸ™‚ lots of people do this, got the idea from Pinterest etc. I don't mind if they do want to keep them though as keepsakes!

Aw this is so wonderful and thoughtful! Really kind of you!

Yes, people work hard and earn their own money to do with as they choose! šŸ˜€ If you don't like a post, I would recommend scrolling on by, rather than leaving inflammatory comments - being kind costs nothing! šŸ’ø

omg I love this!! I did little promotion cards for everyone that said ā€œcongratulations! You’re being promoted to nanny/grandad/auntie/uncle/Godmummyā€ etc & then my work is probs my favourite announcement story. I’m an avid ā€˜friends’ fan and showed up to my last shift at the nursery before the Xmas break in a hoodie that said ā€œthe one where everyone finds out she’s p•r•e•g•n•a•n•tā€. I was 15 weeks and had only just started to show but you couldn’t tell under my work uniform so everyone was gobsmacked 🤭🤣 xx

@Courtney awww I loved the "promoted" cards too, but already had the boxes and thought OTT to add cards aswell haha! Aww that's cute! My colleagues don't know at work yet, and I'm weirdly anxious to tell them haha! Xx

I love the box idea and it’s such a personal touch because you’ve made them yourself rather than ordering cards from a company like I did 🤣🤣!

I couldn’t wait to tell the girls at work because they’re literally like my family. It’s such an amazing nursery I work in and they were amazing! I told my managers the week after I found out (so would’ve only been 3 weeks) but only as I’d suffered a loss previously in 2020 so I wanted them to know in case I had to leave to go to hospital if I had any bleeding etc and they were amazingly supportive and kept it a secret which I loved!! šŸ’™

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

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!😭

Anemia

So my results from the glucose test were good (that’s positive) but It looks like I have anemia. Someone in the same situation? Waiting to see what my doctor says, but any tips would be appreciated.

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