Are you still waiting?

This September baby is taking its sweeeet time to come.

I'm sooo impaicient haha. I have another 10 days but I'm like hurry up already.

Ive been having fake painful contractions for 2 weeks. Been loosing mucus plus for 1 week. I was convinced she would be here by now.

I'm hoping she isn't an October baby!

Are you still waiting on your September baby??

Bump to head..

I was lying down breastfeeding, trying to get my arm in a comfortable position when the phone fell out of my hand and fell into the back of my baby’s head. She startled and then did the most awful cry 😩 I managed to comfort her after a few minutes and then she carried on feeding and is now asleep but my anxiety has me spiralling. She’s 13 weeks old, I can’t tell if there is a bump (I don’t think there is) and it didn’t fall from a height or with any great force. It would have scared and hurt her a bit…I just feel really bad. She’s going to be okay, isn’t she?

Pressure in bum

Did anyone else have a lot of pressure in their bottom before going into labour? Im 39 weeks tomorrow and it feels like i have got a poop stuck and i cant close my bottom its sore! ive had a pile for about 10 weeks now and ive applied cream but its literally done nothing the only thing that makes it feel ok is clenching my cheeks

Sneak peak gender test

Do any of you mamas have any experience with the sneak peak gender test? I'm roughly around 8-9 weeks with my 2nd and am considering having it done at my OB appointment tomorrow if it is offered. I only have experience with the NIPT, which was accurate for my son so this will be my 1st time having it done. Was it accurate for you mamas & how long did the results take to come back? 🤍

So sick of my postpartum body

When does it get easier to feel confident- I was 130 before pregnancy now I’m 7 months postpartum and 180. This is me currently. I struggled with body dysmorphia before and now I feel like maybe it’s happening again? Idk. My fiancé says I look fine but I feel so embarrassed to even go out in public. My double chin and arms make me feel terrible.

Not hungry/craving food in my second tri.

Hi! 👋 I wanted to hear everyone else’s experiences 😊

I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and I’m a HUGE foodie. But for the last couple of weeks, I just haven’t felt particularly hungry and I haven’t had any cravings yet.

I’m a little surprised because I always hear mums talking about how their appetite went crazy during pregnancy or how they suddenly craved the most random things 😂 I’ve also had people tell me that maybe I’m not craving anything because I’m not deficient in anything, but I’m not sure how true that is.

I need to force myself and eat. I still kinda enjoy it and eat to proper amount but I’m just not interested???

I’m not nauseous anymore either, that stopped after my first trimester.

Did anyone else have a similar experience around 19 weeks? Did the big appetite and cravings come later, or did you just never really get them?
