Struggling to stay awake

Anyone else struggling to stay awake during the day?? I'm finding myself napping at least a few hours everyday and constantly feel Knackered! I want multiple children but this is my first pregnancy and I honestly am not sure I could hack having one child whilst being pregnant for the next, I'm so shattered 😂🤰🏻!

Me too! I am struggling more with this than any of my other symptoms. Making me feel super low too. Xx

Yes. And totally agree with the 2nd child prediction. This is difficult enough to manage without a baby/toddler to care for!

I’m the same, pregnant with my second and it’s so so draining😫💗

Same! My shifts at work are 8am-10pm ish and I'm beyond ready to call it a day come 4 😂 I've never really been a nap person but pregnancy has absolutely changed that 🥲

Absolutely, but I do have a toddler that doesn't sleep... But, when I was pregnant with him, I was working from home, and it was a godsend because noone knew I was napping every afternoon with the volume turned way up just incase my phone rang 😂

Literally this has just hit me yesterday and today. Am at work barely able to function!

I'm pregnant with my second and absolutely shattered every day. It's tough, not gonna lie, especially when your little one is sick so you're constantly needed but you just push through it. I know it sounds weird but somehow somewhere you find energy, even on zero sleep, and the way their cuddles fill your heart can keep you going like no brand of coffee ever could. If you want more than one child, don't let the current tiredness discourage you. You'll find a way, believe me, and it will be ok ❤️ - love from a high sleep needs mom with a low sleep needs toddler xx

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!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
