Early pregnancy symptoms?

How soon did you have a feeling you were pregnant? I had unprotected sex a week ago but man I just have a gut feeling I’m pregnant again 😩 had my first 3.5 years ago. I have a tightening feeling in my stomach, not sure if it’s nerves or what. I should be expecting my period in 1-2 weeks so I wanna wait it out to test but I will be spiraling until then 🥲

Second time, I knew within 4-5 days (def less than a week after sex). It wasn’t just the gut feeling but definitely my body was very aware and I felt the implantation pain and some uneasiness in uterus (something hard to describe in words but I just knew it that it wasn’t normal period cramps). When I took my test, my hcg levels were still low and got negative but I was just so damn sure that I ended up taking tests the following days and finally it showed positive. I gave birth last Nov and we have our boy here. Although since I knew so early, the wait just seemed forever to even go to my first OB appointment. So I wouldn’t recommend losing mind over it.

I felt so off when I found out I was pregnant with my second.. I had a lot going on at the time so at first I just passed it off as stress. Well a couple more weeks went by and I was still feeling off and was going to the bathroom a lot more which I thought was odd for me, honestly thought I had a UTI. My son had barely turned a year old and I still hadn’t had a period yet so I thought maybe I’m about to start my period.. well that didn’t happen so I took a test just as a precaution and it came back positive IMMEDIATELY! I was so shocked but also not surprised at the same time.. I was about 4-5 weeks at the point of taking the test. Baby girl made her arrival last week and I haven’t been more happy.. rough pregnancy but amazing baby!🥰👶🏻

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏

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!
