Emotional about pregnancy ending

This is our rainbow baby, we wouldn't be pregnant without help of doctors so we are incredibly lucky to be where we are now.

The first 24 weeks were terrifying about it something went wrong, it would add another loss to the cards but it didn't!! So after 24 weeks I tried to enjoy pregnancy as much as I could but to be honest I hated it. I have constantly been sick, sore, unable to leave the house most of the time. I felt quite guilty for hating it.

I'm now 35 weeks and I'm looking back at how maybe I didn't hate it as much as I thought, I'm starting to feel really emotional it's nearly over. I'm sooo excited to meet this little ball of joy but part of me isn't ready to let go of the best feeling of carrying and growing this little miracle.

I've appreciated and loved my body more than I ever have and I just can't get my head around what it's capable off. So many women say they feel lonely during pregnancy but it's been the complete opposite for me, I've been amazed I have a little best friend with me all the time.

I'm so sore and uncomfortable but so ready for baby to be here but I really don't think I'm ready to part with carrying my little miracle.

Loved reading this ❤️ I'm having my rainbow baby in November too and have felt ALL the emotions. As soon as your little one is here you will won't miss pregnancy, as your baby will be in your arms finally after all you have been through 💓 our little miracles! Hope everything goes well for you lovely Xx

I feel similar and feel like I will miss being pregnant and carrying about this little ball of love. However, I keep reminding myself that the best is yet to come 💛💛

This is also my rainbow baby and I feel similar. I keep thinking how much I’m going to miss having him with me all the time. After such a traumatic loss last time and the anxiety from this pregnancy, I’m not sure I’ll ever go through this again, so trying to soak up all the little moments I can ♥️

I feel exactly the same. I lost a baby last year at 20 weeks. Im so scared about giving birth but also so excited to meet my beautiful boy thats been kicking me every day. I feel like im going to miss being pregant and going to find it strange. Ive been so anxious waiting every day for him to kick so i know hes okay and knowing i wont be feeling that and looking at him next to me seems so sureal, so excited though.. weve got this 💙❤️

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
