Another baby?

Anyone thinking about another baby? My little one is only 7 months and husbands mentioning about having another one close in age 😬

Not for us yet! We are considering a third, but it won't be until at least our youngest is 2/2.5. The 2 year 9 month age gap we have now has been challenging at times, I personally couldn't imagine anything shorter than that🙈x

Not right now but we’re already planning on when to start trying lol. The earliest is in June after he turns one, but ideally in September so even if we get pregnant first time (which we won’t, but still) there will be a 2 year age gap between them.

We are looking at trying in February, LO will be 8 months.

We are looking at starting to try from October onwards. That will be a 2 year age gap then. Also I had a c section so don't want to rush into another pregnancy too quickly just in case. Also I need to go back to work to be able to afford to go off again

We’re waiting till our girl is at least 2 we feel like that’s a decent age gap - both our siblings have a five year gap and we’re like that’s too long 😂

So a two year is a compromise 😂

Currently 9 weeks pregnant and also have a 2 year old and a 7 month old! We wanted them all close together it’ll be hard at times but worth it!🥲😇

Hubby is planning to get the snip 😅

it's such a hard decision!! I feel like I didn't treat my second pregnancy as my last though🥹🥹 x

I knew we only wanted two and I hate most of pregnancy, but it does feel sad that this chapter is over now!! I’m trying to soak up Cece being a baby but it’s all going so fast 😭 also I’m 38 now so getting too old for this (personally!) 😂 x

I've been tempted by the thought but finances are a big issue for us as I only get Statutory Maternity and not entitled to any other help. My SO "earns too much" yet he doesn't earn enough to cover the bills on his own so with our first who is now 7 months, we had about 5k saved to top us up each month but that's dwindling now. And with childcare costs too I couldn't imagine how we could manage a 2nd😩

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Second day post section

Hi all - I had my c section on the evening of the 17th so I’m on my second day of recovery. Yesterday I felt pretty good and was walking round the ward, with some pain obviously but it was manageable and wasn’t getting to me. I came home last night so 24 hours after section but today the pain seems to have got worse. Just feel much more bruised and achey. Was this the case for anyone else, that it got worse before better? Thanks
