Heya I’m 40+5 I remember saying from 38 weeks any day now hahaha.

The waiting game can be rough mentally and I wish I didn’t tell people my due date because the texts are draining. But I’m just really trying to protect my space and have a morning routine of a walk and stretch, lots of series watching and reading. Be kind to yourself. I’m doing all the midwife tricks as well dates, teas, exercise , sex, rest etc etc but baby will come when baby is ready ( but yeah, over it hahahaah )

They say the most common dates is over 40 week for FTM dunno if that helps or hinders

Are you able to do all routines normally as a few weeks before?

I am able to do all routines normally like before without any symptom yet like pains/mucus plug/etc....
Hoping that's normal

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 🫶🏼

Stressed

For whatever stupid reason we have decided that putting our house on the market and looking for a bigger place during the 3rd trimester is a great idea.. also switching my toddlers nursery so i am surviving by the day with estate agents, house viewings, paperwork, midwife appointments, settling in sessions at nursery, all while working full time.. i almost forget i also have a whole baby to buy and prepare for simultaneously too😅

Anyone else super stressed right now and can make me feel less alone?😂

10/7 baby became 9/14

Ms Harper couldn’t wait anymore. Due to hypertension we did a repeat c section early at 36 weeks 5 days. 5lbs 12oz and 18inches. Our lungs weren’t fully developed so we are in the NICU on a c pap. But we’re progressing every day! So hoping and praying by next week if not sooner we can go home 💗
