Random confession: The older I get, the more pregnancy gives me the ick

I used to think it was the most beautiful thing ever but now the thought alone exhausts me lol.

lol how old are u? I’m 35 and Ive NEVER in my entire life viewed pregnancy as the “most beautiful thing ever” and I used to think I was under qualified to say that stufff when I was a childless woman, bt now that I actually have a child, I’m even more positive and sure abt what I used to say abt pregnancy. Our bodies are amazing bt I’d never call pregnancy as “the most beautiful thing ever” 😇 I’ve always had the ick even when I was younger and childfree

So i said not me, but to be honest I never thought it was the most beautiful amazing thing to go through. But I also didnt think it was super gross and horrible and disgusting. So I guess maybe I shouldn't have voted.

Idk about the getting older part lol I’m almost 22 and my husband and I are expecting our second child. With my first I was like who this is beautiful now tho I love having kids I just wish I could skip the pregnancy part sometimes lol but I also have (HG) so it might just be because I’m insanely sick my whole pregnancy

Ive never ever thought it was the most beautiful thing 😬 its used to freak me out big time though!!! Now it doesn't!

please tell me i’m not alone lol.

so i have posted a little about this before but im having my second c section on the 13th this one is planned as my first was an emergency and im absolutely terrified and im not sure why… just nothing will ease my mind this pregnancy has been much much harder then my first was in multiple different ways including health problems that are specifically pregnancy induced & i just feel really uneasy about it.😭😭
maybe because i have a toddler at home?? im not sure pls give me some reassurance.
as i fully trust in God and his plans .. my anxiety is starting to get the best of me .
TIA.🤍

BP

Would this be considered high? I’m 39 weeks pregnant & my blood pressure tends to creep towards the end and I’ve been induced both times for it. I wasn’t diagnosed with preeclampsia they were just being safe by inducing me.
I’m hoping for a home birth this time round so I don’t want them to have another reason to want to induce me but also I want to be safe for me and baby. Should I keep monitoring it or contact triage today?
Feeling disheartened ☹️☹️☹️

Preparing for baby

Hi all, I’m expecting my first child in October, so I am currently 13 weeks. When do people usually start buying things for their baby

Bloods

I had my bloods taken and haemoglobin was 107 and apparently they don’t treat until 105 😬😩

Nervous 😥

I am over being pregnant, I am ready to have this baby, BUT the adjustment of having a toddler & newborn is making me so nervous like everything is going to change! I know not to change my toddler’s schedule & adjust baby to it, but it’s easier said than done. I think I’m more so worried about the naps…idk!!
