Mum Guilt/Exhaustion

Please tell me this isn’t just me…

Does anyone else get so exhausted that everything just feels like a routine and you’re a robot and you don’t properly see your baby?

Like they’re there in front of you but you sort of zone out just trying to stay awake and get from one task to the next, walking around like a zombie?

Then all of a sudden it’s like you wake up and look at your baby who gives you a smile and it’s like oh shit I’ve been sat here feeding you for 20 minutes and haven’t actually engaged with you at all.

I’m feeling so guilty

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

20 week anatomy scan for baby girl today 🥰💕🌷

So grateful everything was perfect with little miss baby, she’s right on track around 20-21 weeks, can’t wait to meet my baby girl! 😇🌸🙏🏻

Has anyone started to plan out their first birthday yet lol I know it’s a little bit early but I like to plan ahead. I already have a theme picked out.

😂😂I am thinking about Sesame Street and Toy story as a theme

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

Implant

Hi mamas I have a problem, I have the implant in again, I had it in before was in for 6 years new rules now, not a single problem no periods nothing, got it re fitted this time I have been bleeding non stop noticed on Friday my arm was sore and was swollen I thought it was from work, turns out my implant has moved up my arm and it’s not producing the right hormones 🤢 I woke up yesterday to the bruising on my arm (picture inserted) the pain I am in is so bad, I am worried about having sex again due to getting pregnant 🤦‍♀️🙈 can someone help me, I am going to hospital tomorrow morning to see if they can help me I need this out 🙈🤔

Girl names

We have an Elsie and we nickname her “Elsa” like queen elsa from frozen

If we have a girl my husband would love a spin on “anna” without actually calling her Anna lol

What names are similar to Anna / could be a play on words?

I’ve said Aria but I don’t know any others
