Please help me calm down 😂

So I had 2 under 2. My youngest turned 1 this week and my eldest is 2 and a half.
I have just found out I’m pregnant again. (Not expecting as took the pill).

I’m freaking out a bit. I’ll have 2 under 2 again and I’ll have 3 under 4.
My other half is also freaked out and I just need some calming words 🙏

Honestly I would be freaked out too but then the reality would hit . YOU WILL BE FINE . You’ve done this before and you can do it again . Also your not the first and won’t be the last to survive it . I heard the shift from 1-2 is a lot because it’s a new thing having multiple children but from 2 to 3 your already used to the dynamic of managing more than 1 child and it’ll work itself out . My friend was in the same position as you and now her 3 girls are so close and in school together with her youngest being 2 we were all worried for her but she’s fine .

Hope this helps and congratulations 🥰

I'm now due my 4th in Feb
My oldest will be 5 in jan
So will have 4 under 5
It's absolute chaos but they all bond together and have the best relationships

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

Owlet sock worth it?

Anyone use the owlet sock for newborn? Is it worth the price and what are some pros / cons?

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?
