Sharing the excitement!

Hi guys, this isn’t a question as such but I just wanted to say not long now until we all meet our new additions! I’m excited but also terrified myself 😂

If you want to share how you’re feeling, have any cute nursery pictures or tips to share - whether it be about packing your hospital bag or if you’ve experienced labour before - I’d love to hear them!

I am of course SO excited (first time mum!) but I’m also trying not to be too much incase it makes the next few weeks go slower 😂 i know it’s so silly but my baby shower is 4 weeks before due date so I feel like I’m trying to atleast save myself til then 🥰❤️

I'm maybe feeling fractionally more excited. I've struggled alot with anxiety in this pregnancy after 6 years of trying and three losses so I don't really feel like I will be properly happy until he is here and safe

I’m 32 weeks too and just feeling so wild as it’s getting so close now!
I feel like it’s only just dawned on me that there will be a baby here very soon & my life is about to change 😳

I’m starting to pack hospital bags and washing baby clothes now and setting up her room, it’s all feeling so real!!
So excited to become a mum but also so scared & nervous, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing 🤣💖

I am getting so nervous!
6 weeks to go until due date and only 3 free weekends to get any DIY and preparations ready 😅😅
Then a baby moon ( very excited for 24 hours childfree before baby is here 🤣)
I'm so nervous about monitering movements and so scared she won't arrive safely.
I have GD so birthing out of guidelines and can not wait for my water birth! And for some chocolate afterwards.
Pretty much everything is here and ready for baby , we just need her! And then when she is in my arms then I can finally relax c

ooo I’m going for a waterbirth too!❤️🛁

aw how exciting for you! I hope you have the most amazing baby shower! 👶🏼🍼

I’m feeling the exact same, you’re not alone. My husband and I were told we wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally and after 4 years of trying and adopting our little girl, baby boy is on the way! A huge congratulations to you, we’re nearly there now! ❤️

aw adorable! It’s definitely starting to feel very real, how exciting for all of us!!

ooo super jealous of your baby moon, that sounds lovely! Definitely start to look forward to that well overdue chocolate now, you deserve it ❤️

@Saskia honestly they are amazing 🥰

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?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it
