Scarier the second time..

I’m a second time mom & im actually kind of scared for this go round. My first pregnancy was a breeze, birth experience amazing.. this second one?? Pregnancy is whooping. My. Ass. What is going on. I’m 33w and I am NAUSEOUS, in discomfort 24/7, I don’t want to eat anything but then my sugar gets too low and I feel even more like garbage. Then I eat and I hold back the urge to throw up so bad because I don’t want to have to eat again.
Already having contractions but not close enough for concern.
My pelivic area is a stomping ground for my baby, I mean she looks down, sees my cervix & decides violence, I thought I had lightning crotch with my first.. I THOUGHT. The lighting bolts coursing through my pelvis and cervix when she gets feisty should be illegal.
I’m bigger than I was with my first, I use to think the penguin walk was cute but now I’m like yes please clear the aisle because here comes me swaying far and wide to travel from point A to B.
Someone on here told me that their second was their hardest pregnancy so I’m praying that’s the case for me cause at this rate???? Jesus Christ all mighty someone induce me now. How am I meant to do this for 7 more weeks.
Btw my doctor just says it’s all apart of pregnancy and it’s normal and I’m like is it cause I’m being abused from the inside out 🥲
That’s it, hopefully no one can relate but I know yall can 😭

I can relate!!! This is my 3rd pregnancy and 3rd boy. He's like the little alien trying to rip out of my stomach. 😆😆 I've got 6 weeks left, and I can't do this! My house is not even ready, but I don't care, I'll walk and carry him home in a dresser drawer just to be done with this.

This second pregnancy is rooooough. Bigger belly, constant pain. I feel you lol

the alien part! I didn’t even mention that, why are they trying so hard to escape?? The kicks hurt sometimes 😂 like can you relax in there please. I’m not fully ready either but my hospital bag is packed so, Jesus take the wheel or something cause I wasn’t informed of all this.

I almost wanna say no one prepares you for this but maybe they do and it just never came across me because I wasnt in the situation.. yet here we are 😂 too late for any preparation now I’m in the end game here. I feel like I need to warn people lmao

I know lmao. When I found out I was pregnant again, I was like “okay, I’ve done this before!” Cue all kinds of symptoms I didn’t have the first time around, plus familiar symptoms arriving way earlier 😆

I thought I was rhe only one feeling like this. Sister I'm exhausted this is my 2nd pregnancy I'm nervous but tired of it . Just want to be on epidural

SAME 😩 my first was a breeze compared to this. I’m physically uncomfortable everyday and this baby is huge!! I look 9 months pregnant already, and haven’t gotten shit done or ready been busy chasing my toddler around loving on her with what energy I do have. I can’t wait to trade out the newborn exhaustion for the pregnancy exhaustion just so I can have my body, “partially” back. lol all of this to say, I am v grateful for this child!! But yikes. Idk if I’ll be doing this again if it’s within my own will.

I totally agree. I think I have to hire a cleaning lady to help out cuz I'm exhausted. I feel like it's even more work nesting the 2nd time cuz you have to find everything in your house and clean it lol

Omg this second pregnancy is kicking my ass!!!! My son was a breeze ….. she is opposite. Top it all off She gave me a belly button hernia and it’s been hell!!!! I have five more weeks ….get her out !!! 😵‍💫😮‍💨

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

2nd baby

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 😭
