I think he’s starting to understand now! He gives my belly random kisses and rubs now.

My baby is about to be 4 months and my son absolutely loves her. We include him as much as possible and I always make sure he gets attention and cuddle time. We haven’t had any jealousy except for their first meeting in the hospital since both me and dad were away from him for the first time

According to my blood test as I haven't been able to get in to see the doctor yet I'm between 8 to 9 weeks pregnant. I have told my almost 3-year-old multiple times. He's about to be a big brother, but I don't think he understands. He is a big snuggly mommy's boy though so I am a bit worried.

Anyone else full of doubts now?

Hi all,
I'm just going to preface this by saying I've not enjoyed pregnancy at all and I've felt super guilty about it the whole time. The third trimester is just really taking its toll on me though, I've got awful pelvic girdle pain which I've had for at least the last 5 weeks (I'm currently 37 weeks), I'm tired, I'm irritable and I'm feeling really down about my appearance at the moment. I've put on quite a bit of weight and I hate looking at myself in the mirror now.
This last couple of weeks I've just been feeling so full of anxiety. This was very much a planned and wanted pregnancy (it's my second pregnancy, my first ended in miscarriage) but I'm not a maternal person at all, I've never had an interest in babies and I'm terrified I'm just going to be a useless mother. I don't have my own mum to help me or guide me, I lost her when I was little and my dad never remarried so I feel like I've never even had a good female role model.
I'm just starting to panic that I'm about to ruin my life and my relationship and wondered if anyone else is feeling this way. If it's just nerves because I'm so near the end now. I want more than anything to fall in love with my baby as soon as I see them but I'm terrified I'm going to feel nothing and then feel like the worst mother on the planet.

Safe for 6 month old?

No pillows etc but want to know if I can buy this for my baby as her ‘cot’

postpartum confidence

20mos postpartum and I’m stronger than I was pre-baby! I can’t believe I had spent DAYS mourning my old body during pregnancy, I love this version of me so much more

OCD

Does anyone suffer with OCD, I’m specifically struggling with contamination OCD. And it’s ever since I got pregnant, baby is 8 months now and I wonder if it will get any better. Or what will help!

August babies

2nd pregnancy

Did anyone else feel like they're "pushing away" their first born, after you found out about ur 2nd pregnancy? I feel so strange, I still play with my baby girl and interact with her but sometimes I feel like I'm not as connected to her as I used to be. My pp was really good, I bounced back pretty quickly considering most pp is a struggle for a long time. But I'm due in September and I'm really freaking out about my pp. What if I push my daughter away completely? I don't think I would but jw if anyone else has experienced this?
