Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

That’s how I was with my first. I got pregnant with him at 18 and had him at 19.

I’m 20 and my daughter is 8 months and I felt this and I do still feel this but you just learn it’s weird how natural it all came to me. I also don’t think you’ll ever stop learning as a mum but it’s so magical and amazing that you’ll just feel joy as soon as they’re born. So don’t stress so much just enjoy your time without a baby while you can cause it’s very hard work 😂

I just had my second baby two days ago and I’m 19 and I had my first at 17 and I can tell you the first is definitely gonna just be a learning process. No matter how much you learn and prepare they’re still going to be teaching you along the way but I can tell you now, having my second, that the first makes you feel so much more ready for that second one

honestly i felt the same way !! and i prepared a lot for baby too. i learned as much as i could and still felt unsure. it’s a good feeling, it means you care, that baby has a good mom already !! but trust me by the end of the first week with them you’ll feel more seasoned already. there’s still gonna be a lot of stuff you’ll learn week by week but you’ll feel a lot more like you know what you’re doing a week in

Worried about stomach pouch after having kids

My tummy has always been my problem area. I’ve now got 3 under 3 kids and after the first 2 I lost the weight pretty quickly and went back to my previous weight. Now after my 3rd baby I’m 6 months postpartum and my stomach still bulges outwards under my breasts if you know what I mean so I still look pregnant. Not the lower tummy but the bit that curves out under the breasts if you know what I mean and I don’t know if this will ever go down? It’s like it’s muscle that’s used to being pregnant now!

2nd baby

Honestly mammas the 2nd pregnancy with a toddler is rough! I don’t remember this much nausea or gagging, the loss of appetite or the back pain and random cramping and oh my the tiredness! Anti sickness meds don’t help, they make me gag even more and I’m sweating 24/7. Oh what a day and I’m not even 8 weeks yet 😴

Breakouts

Has anyone else experienced their skin breaking out in early stages of pregnancy? My skin had been clear for a year or so after finding a good skincare routine (I used to struggle with breakouts) but over the last week or so has started to get bad again, I really don’t want to go backwards & hoping it doesn’t last for the whole pregnancy!! Any advice would be really welcomed 🫶🏼
