Didn’t know I was pregnant!

Hello everyone! Just found out the day after Christmas that I’m five months pregnant with my second boy! My first just turned one on December 30th. Super excited but definitely overwhelmed.

Can I ask how u didn’t find out sooner? I’m genuinely curious

Congrats!!!!

So curious how you went 5 months not noticing?!

Well I have PCOS and it took me 6 fertility rounds to get pregnant with my first son. My pregnancy with him I had mild symptoms. I never thought I could get pregnant naturally. Next thing I know I was gaining weight which it wasn’t out of the norm thanks to PCOS but I was starting to feel some movement. I took a text before taking Provera and here we are lol

oohhh I have pcos to! But I get periods regularly and usually got my period within the week of my expected period or sometimes within the month at least so after I missed my period I also was like oh okay pcos thing I had symptoms and my mom is like girl take a test so I did at a clinic and I was pregnant found out at almost 7 weeks :0 tho

yea I took too many negatives before and convinced myself I had symptoms that I just was so over it. I tested once but I guess it was too early lol

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

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?

Welll

So who’s pregnant again with me 😂

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 😭

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
