Baby #2

Hi ladies! I need help, guidance and personal stories. I just found out I’m pregnant with baby #2 and I’m freaking out a bit here. There’s some health concerns with me being pregnant and having another child, but aside from that I’m scared of a second child. My first just turned 4 and I’m worried that it’s going to affect our relationship. We have our own connection and all the time together, but the stress of a new baby and no longer being able to have me all to herself. Plus the mom guilt of being season for the second so the guilt of the growing pains my first and I went through together. Has anyone else ever felt this way?

I felt this way when I first found out I was pregnant with my second child but once she was born and I seen how close they were it went away 10 months apart

Congratulations!! Well your four year old will be starting school so she will be busy with that. There is always some adjustment when a new child is born though, but she should be fine. Maybe get one of those new baby brother or sister books to read to her and let her see that she can be the big sister and help her mommy with the new baby and that will make her feel special. If there are family members that could help take her to the park or something when the baby is born that will be good also.
Mine are 10, 7, 5, 4, and 9 months.

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
