May 2026 Babies 🇺🇸

Have you started preparing for baby?

Im currently 34 week about to be 35 weeks and im having the urge to nest since I’ve had my 1st and 2nd babies at 37 weeks. I feel like im less prepared for this baby since I still have things from my 1st 2 I haven’t really bought anything but clothes. And I’m barely now starting to prepare my body for birth by stretching and doing breathing exercises. I haven’t packed my hospital bag yet either and I feel like I still need to organize my house for baby. Just starting to feel like I’m behind on everything and feeling like I only have 2-3 weeks left. Anyone else feeling similarl?

I’ve been preparing since 20 weeks and yet still feel like I have nothing done 😂

I’ve been preparing and still have a few things to check off my list

This is also my 2nd. I have the necessary things ready. Baby’s hospital bag ready as of this morning. Mine and my husband hygiene bag ready but any clothes for us no😂

31 weeks slowly getting everything together

This is my first and I’ve been getting baby stuff little by little but I’m not fully ready yet

I’m 32 weeks FTM and I very much have the urge to nest and get ready, but I’ve been so exhausted that I haven’t been able to do as much as I’d like. My husband and I made to do list and color coded it based on priority and who is responsible, and that’s helped a bit with my anxiety.

31 weeks and I’ve prepared my bedside cart, washed babies clothes (not folded still in hamper lol), just cleaned our old swing from our first and set up the big playpen in the living room, and I’m starting to purchase stuff for the hospital bags and just postpartum in general. Slowly but surely trying to deep clean different rooms before I’m too tired 😅

I’m due in 5 weeks and I haven’t done anything

I have 6 weeks left. I just need to organize my carts at home and pack hospital bags. Everything else is ready!

First Trimester Hell

I’m almost 8 weeks and I’m honestly a bit shocked by how hard the first trimester is. It’s not even the nausea for me, it’s the physical changes. I feel swollen, full of fluid, my hands feel weak, my legs and knees feel weak, my skin is changing so fast, I feel I’ve already aged a decade, and my breasts have doubled in size and are so sore that I can’t sleep properly. Bra hurts, no bra hurts, and lying down sometimes literally makes me feel like I can’t breathe because of the weight of them.
I really didn’t expect it to be this intense this early. How did you get through the first trimester? I’m dreading getting through the next 7 months like this… Any tips would be very appreciated.

9 month nursery funding, help!

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out when my girl is eligible for the 9 month funding... It's the term after she turns 9 months, so it would be September term if she's born at the end of September? Because I'm sure I've read online that it's January and I'm not sure how that works 😭 it baffles my brain

Period post birth

So my baby is now 4months and I still have not had my first period. Is this normal?! I don’t remember waiting this long with my other two babies! This is my first c section.

2 under 2

I just found out that I’m pregnant again at 15 months postpartum. I’m gonna have another December baby. There’s a very high chance they’ll have the same birthday. I don’t know how to feel right now. I’m turning 22 in a few months. This is gonna be so hard. And I feel bad that I’ll be potentially giving birth when I’m supposed to be celebrating my daughter’s birthday. I don’t want her to feel like an afterthought.
