I’m having baby no 2!!!!!

Hey everyone. So I have a 10 month old and I just did a pregnancy test and it says I’m pregnant 3+ 😂😂. I’m in shock. I’ve always wanted another baby but I didn’t think it would be so soon.

I’m so happy, shocked and scared. I always wondered how people managed life with more than one child and now that’s going to be me 😂.

What scares me the most is my first pregnancy was awful. I had such bad sickness but I had no child to look after then. Now I’m scared in case it’s like before but this time with a baby. How will I manage 🫤.

Love babies but just not the pregnancy part.

Anybody else in the same boat as me? How are you feeling?

I'm not in the same boat but congrats
My ten month old is my second child and pregnancy was awful too especially sickness, my eldest was 6 when I was pregnant, and I found it hard as I couldn't get on the floor and play with her towards the end, but she would sit and rub my back when my head was over the toilet 😂 bit different to a one year old I guess.
On the plus side you may still be able to get an hour here and there and sleep when baby sleeps to keep rested... My sister in law managed two under two and said it was actually surprisingly easy, compared to having a bit of a bigger age gap xx

I've got a 5yr old and 10m old so a bit different lol but I'd rather they were closer in age. Pregnancy wise my 2nd was easier, less nausea and fatigue. Even the accidental home birth went smoother than the hospital birth. We did try sooner but it just didn't work out. They still get on etc and fit a similar routine for bedtime no problem now, I just think doing it all at once with the same/similar ages would have been easier. Especially when it comes to going back to work 😂 I'm off now until she's 3 and has free school because nursery fees are just impossible lol

I’m 12 weeks with a 10 month old. Weeks 6-10 were very difficult-nausea, exhaustion and bloating but I seem to be feeling better now. My worry is current baby still breastfeed when new one arrives. Currently getting v broken sleep

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

Boy or girl?

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

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.

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!
