I’m in the waiting phase for my second baby

Please comment how far along were you when your baby came. I’m trying to see if I have realistic expectations on when my second baby might come. First came at 39W+1 and I’m currently 38W+1 with my second. I’m hoping she comes at 39W like her brother.

40+2 with first
40+5 with second

Try the dilation station! Girl it put me into labor! I wanted to have my daughter at 39W+1 but I ended up having her at 39W+3 because my OB/GYN would not schedule me for an induction so I had to force myself into labor. I had a natural labor but that shit actually put me into labor !

36+4 with my first
39+5 with my second

36+4 with my first and currently 29 weeks with my second

41 weeks had to be induced lol

Not currently pregnant, but I’m hoping that if we do have a second that they’ll wait to cook a bit longer as my first came at 36 weeks 😅

1st 39w 2nd 42w 3rd came on his EDD. I’ve had one early one late and one smack bang on date 😂

37+1 cesarean

My son came on the 40 week mark. My daughter was on the 39 week mark.

Pay query - two weekly

Hi I'm starting a new job next month which is paid 2 weekly in arrears, e.g. work 1st - 14th get paid the following week on the 21st

I'm used to having a full months wage on the 15th, and I'd like to 'pay myself monthly' any advice on how to do this I'm struggling to figure it out

Prenatals

So since I’ve been taking my prenatal my belly hasn’t been doing well. Like I get so sick from it. I don’t get nauseous i literally cannot throw up but I have other issues with my prenatal and I get so bloated from it. Would it be terrible if I just stopped taking my prenatal? I’m 22 weeks almost 23. Or does anyone have a good recommendation?

So much pressure!

I’m 35+5 currently and since around Tuesday this week I have suddenly got so much pressure on the bottom half of my bump! At my 34 week midwife appointment she did say baby is head down (4/5 engaged) so I’m assuming this additional pressure increase is baby moving down further? I’m just sooo uncomfortable when walking now or when I lay/sit in certain positions lol. I just don’t think I was expecting it to be this bad!
Anyone else at this very uncomfortable stage? 😂🥲

Anxiety

I’m starting to feel like I have prenatal anxiety or possibly even depression. I think it’s mainly work related, but I feel like it’s becoming a bigger strain every day. Any tips or advice?

Unsure

This test had the faintest line on it that came up within a minute. It’s really hard to get a picture of it but can anyone see what I mean? Im waiting for blood test to come back but Im impatient lol. More pictures in comments.

Am I reaching?? Line eyes help please

I don’t know how to do the invert photo!

I’ve had two and have never caught a pregnancy early! Noticed months in for both- 1st: periods were super irregular, 2nd: period had just come back from 1st pregnancy. I’ve been wanting another pretty badly, but haven’t been pushing for one cus 4 and 2.5 keeps me busy! My period comes in a week (very regular now), but I’m being impatient because baby fever!! Any help greatly appreciated:)
