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!🥲😇

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😩

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
