Bottomless Pit

I had my 2nd baby on March 8th, and I AM A BOTTOMLESS PIT. Absolutely ravenous. Way hungrier than I ever was while I was pregnant! Tell me I'm not the only one 🥲🙏

Grateful I'm producing a ton of milk, though! Way more than my pregnancy, I need to make more space in my freezer 😅

Same! I am constantly eating & im not joking…I have snacks hidden in every seated area. And don’t get me started on my water intake 😮‍💨 I can’t get enough!

It makes complete sense though. We’re burning so many calories and need to replenish the nutrients.

I was thay way with my first. I could have eaten a whole cow for dinner 🤣 it got better after a few weeks

Super hungry tooo and I’m an under producer

Had my baby the same day as you! I’m hungry 24/7. I try to eat lots of protein to help, and just eat when I’m hungry even if it seems like I “just ate”. Really leaning into listening to my body!
I’ve been eating lots of chicken, healthy oatmeal bars with dried fruit in them, eggs sandwiches, etc. the protein seems to help me stay fuller a bit longer. Hang in there and keep snacks nearby at all times 😂🤩

After I wrote about eating meat I see you’re vegan. Maybe look into high protein/filling vegan meals. Maybe your typical meals aren’t enough to satisfy your hunger right now!

You’re definitely not! It takes a lot of calories to recover from birth, blood loss, and continue building a human being with your body!

Labour/birth

Did anyone just have a feeling that they were going to go into spontaneous labour and then did that same day? If that makes sense 😂

I keep having a feeling that today is the day but I'm trying to not get hopes up as it's probably nothing 😂

Anyone else miss that magical feeling of being pregnant & giving birth?

I wish I could go back to those days of having midwife appointments & scans & even giving birth, I loved it all. Baby is now a month old & those feelings have worn off & im just tired & stressed & emotional all the time. Which is weird because when I was pregnant, these were the days I was dreaming of. But now I’m dreaming of those days again. The buildup & excitement.

Intense anxiety in pregnancy

Is anyone else having random bouts of anxiety? I’d say they’re more like anxiety attacks than constant anxiety but I’ve never experienced it in any pregnancies before not to this extent. It’s making me feel physically sick and keeping me up at night.

If you’re experiencing or have what did you do to help? Did you seek help? I can’t really pin point what’s causing it last night I started thinking about giving birth and got scared and had a panic attack that went on for hours and kept me up all night and then today suddenly making my morning tea it hit me again but this time no rhyme or reason. It’s making me tense and on edge idk what to do it’s not nice feeling this way I’m usually such a happy go lucky what will be kind of woman 😖

Antibiotics?

Hi, im 11 weeks pregnant and take immunosuppressives for a pre existing condition.
I've gotten a cheat infection this week and my GP has put me on penicillin antibiotics...is there any risks I should be looking out for?

How's your nursery progress going?

I told myself I wanted to wait to start it because I finished way too early with my son and had nothing to do in my late second and third trimester. So, I started around 20 weeks and planned to have it most of the way finished by my baby shower. Baby shower is next weekend, the nursery is not nearly finished, and I went it there with every intention to get shit done yesterday and ended up just sitting in the rocking chair for an hour lol. Third trimester fatigue is real.

Thinking about another baby

Hi all, I'm not sure what the point of this post is other than for reassurance...

I think I'm ready for baby number two? But I'm SO scared to be pregnant again!

I really struggled with my first pregnancy, I was unbelievably nauseous, constant vomiting until I was 28 weeks, then again at the end.

I was exhausted, fatigued and just felt pure rubbish! Can I really do it again with a child?

I have always known I would like another, but the pure fear of going through it again has made me not have the urge or want up until now. The last few weeks I'm feeling broody, which is the first time I've felt this way since my little boy!

Ugh what do I do 😭
