Babyshower🩷

I’m 34 weeks and it’s the day after. Has anybody else had a babyshower recently and just feel absolutely exhausted? 😅 I know I do!

Oh my, you are all beautiful! Congratulations! Yes, this weekend was my shower and I felt absolutely exhausted after! We also hosted family this weekend so we felt so blessed but so so tired.

Such a cute picture!!

We had ours on the 28th and I feel like I’m still recovering from it. We decided to host it at our house to save money and that was a terribleeeee idea lol so much cleaning and prep work went into that and I was physically broken for days. Literally will never have a shower again unless all I have to do is show up last minute. 😂

Definitely! Had my shower this past weekend also and I am feeling super exhausted had I known I would’ve taken the day off of work today 😭

Mine was October 29th and it seemed like I was exhausted the whole week following🫣

I had mine Saturday and yesterday I barley got out of bed I was so exhausted 😅

I had to reschedule my shower… my baby came 6 weeks early and two days before the shower. You look great.

I had mine Saturday and I slept for most of Sunday & today 🥲 it was definitely tiresome and my feet were so swollen from standing all day but it was worth it lol

I had mine at 36 weeks this weekend 🙈 it was super fun, definitely exhausted.

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!

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
