I was super anxious with my first. On top of pregnancy anxiety, I was made redundant, my dad passed away, I fell out with all of his family, and my dog died, as well as a tricky pregnancy! Not a fun period! But my now 3 year old has never had any health issues and has always been a suuuuuper cheerful little one ☺️ I used to stress about my anxiety affecting the baby, too! It gets better, I promise! See if you can get some talking therapy through the NHS, it helps loooooads! And you’ll jump to the front of the queue for being pregnant. Sending all the love ❤️

Stressed and worried.

I’m 9 months post partum and a couple weeks ago I found out I’m pregnant with my second. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have had high blood pressure since I’ve been checking the last 4 days. I had preeclampsia at the very end of my first pregnancy and for a few months after had dangerously high blood pressure and was put on medication. I guess I’m just worried about this pregnancy already cause I’m so early with very high blood pressure constantly. Im sure stressing about it isn’t helping. But there’s not much else I can do besides try to talk to my OB about it. Just worried I’ll be dismissed and told I’m fine.

Is anyone actually enjoying pregnancy ?

So this is my first baby (probably my last too cause wth😭) and omg, the road has been long. I wouldn’t say I’ve enjoyed any part of it but I also feel very ungrateful for complaining. I see these other pregnant women on TikTok and it seems like they are having a blast. Like how does someone even have more than 2 kids??

First pregnancy!

I’m nearly 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I never realised how hard this part of pregnancy is. Just having the test, no one around you knowing, living anxious constantly and the exhaustion wow!!!

Nub Theory guesses 🩷💙

Hi ladies, anyone got any idea on the nub theory? This is our 12 week scan - and will be officially finding out gender at the end of October. So excited to find out if we will be adding another boy or girly to our rapidly growing family ✨
