34.1 weeks

Turned 34 weeks yesterday & I am utterly done with pregnancy. Second pregnancy too , got anxiety keeping me up because my first born was born 35.6 weeks so I’m sat anticipating when this one will come . Then my 4 year old is high energy . I don’t work but existing feels so exhausting. I’m overwhelmed because we’ve had to change the birth plan & turns out I can’t just have a normal labour without interventions so I’m anxious about that . Anyone else?

A lot of different things for sure you are conscious of and feeling. What gives me some comfort is all those reels saying being pregnant is more tiring than having a new born and older child. Is baby in an awkward position or something ? Key thing now, is finding what helps you have some control over how you feel, support and knowing it can go in many ways as its unpredictable so also a chance it could be swift and quick and nor go as they predict as medics can be wrong xx

Understandable its not preferable and a nice idea being in hospital. Keep talking to your midwife, some great ones in the service on wards too to support ya. A lot of unknowns isnt fun is it xx

Thats great about your partner, naturally you feel more of the pressure than him and I relate i felt I did the birth last time solo so a lot to be proud of and skills u have x

Second baby

Advice on second baby , when is the right time to start trying my daughter is going to be 1 next week and want advice on when to start trying for a second when is the right time and good amount of age gap between the 2 I would like to have a boy as then I have 1 of each but I’m happy either way I just would like 2 children just really scared. ! , as not to blow my own trumpet but the pregnancy went well with her i had a planned c section and that was all fine no complications or any problems, she was healthy and all fine and she’s just been the best baby she has slept for 12 hours a night from the age of 2 months she’s eating well she’s just perfect I’m just worried about the next baby the pregnancy or the birth something will be wrong or something could happen . Advice please and your own experiences

C-section dates 🩷

Hi mammas when did you all receive your planned C-section dates? Im nearly 36 weeks and hoping I get mine soon. Bonus points if you had yours at Birmingham women’s and children’s hospital 🩷

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!

Chances of pregnancy?

What are my chances of pregnancy from yesterday? We may or may not try again.

Postpartum Stories 💐

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵

What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?

The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?

I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.
