Anxiety

Has anyone got any tips for managing anxiety in the early days? I’m only 3w6d so reallyyyy early and I’m struggling with having faith that things are doing what they should. It’s my second pregnancy and I had this anxiety with my first too.

26 weeks and 4 days

I just really want to see my baby now, obviously I want her to be as healthy as she can be but I’m really struggling with pregnancy from the start and especially now we aren’t having scans then I feel disconnected from her and I just want to see her now and have her in the flesh rather than just a photo on a screen.

I just don’t know if I’m alone in this feeling and I just want to talk to people about it. Especially with being a first time mum.

So happy It’s a Boy 🎉🎉🎉💙💙💙💙

Having a boy and 2 girls already this will be my last Baby so I’m so happy to be having another boy 💙🎉 2 of Each xxx

Pregnant again

Anyone pregnant again yet? 🥰 just found out I'm pregnant again! Unplanned but excited, and also a little worried of what's to come!

Transitioning

For me in my pregnancy I’m just now at 14 weeks transitioning into the second trimester. I heard people say that the second trimester is more like the honeymoon phase. You feel a lot better. I feel terrible going into the second trimester. I am so tired. I have slept so much this week. The nausea has came back, but the fatigue and the brain fog are just terrible. Has anyone else had this experience just feeling not great going into the second trimester

Did you enjoy labor & delivery?

I’m 8 weeks pp now and I often lay here thinking about the day I gave birth to my baby and I miss it so much. I loved the whole experience. The excitement of being induced and knowing I was getting my baby soon. Having my waters broken and hearing he has lots of hair & then the actual pushing and getting him out. I’ll never be able to explain the feeling of seeing him for the first time an all the love I felt. And that first cry 😢

I wish I could relive it all again. I mourn it so much. When I’m old and lonely I’ll come back there and relive it In my head over and over 🤍

Help! Braxton Hicks or Early Labour?

I am 37 weeks + 6 and haven’t slept from a constant pulling sensation in my stomach.. it doesn’t hurt but there’s a strong sensation in my uterus and every time it happens, my baby wiggles or moves and she feels really really low.. each tightening lasts about 5-10 seconds only and they vary 2 mins - 30 mins apart. I’m so uncomfortable as it’s been constant for over 14 hours, I can’t sleep because everytime I rest, it pulls and tightens…. Will I be meeting my baby soon or is this likely Braxton hicks??? It hasn’t got worse, it’s just maintained a steady feeling. Xx
