Insert anxiety...

So I just set the rest of my prenatal appointments up until my due date (March 9th). Things are getting so real 🥲 I start weekly appointments on February 7th.

My anxiety is through the roof 😨 like am I ready? How painful will birth be? Am I gonna be a good mommy? Please tell me I'm not alone (FTM)

I’m in the same boat with you girl. I was talking to a friend and she was reassuring me which was something I really needed to hear. So you got this too mama!

Same! I start my weekly’s on the 5th. It’s my second baby, and I’m just anxious because I can’t wait to hold and love on my baby! You’re definitely ready, you’re already a good mom. You’ve been making this baby for almost 9 months now, you’ve got this! Birth is painful, but once you’re holding your baby you won’t even believe the pain you just went through.

I’m also due on the 9th and have been thinking the same things ! It’s nerve wrecking to be so close but not there yet to me. I’ve been trying to stretch and get more active to help with my mood and they say it helps for smoother labor. I’ve also have been trying to journal and write out my goals, questions and etc. As a FTM as well it’s hard to anticipate but I’m sure you’ll be the best mommy you can be to your little one.

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?

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?
