This is completely normal my daughter is 2&1/2 and I still get feelings like this. It’s okay xx

Try and think of it as a phase
You’ll get some things back as baby gets a little older. Once kids start having a consistent bedtime you’ll get some adult/me-time after that. Mine go to their rooms after bathtime (which is 6pm). Also when they start to be able to play independently

Also I find returning to work helps me feel like “me” instead of only mum as well

Completely normal I felt the same with my first and now I feel the same with my second in a completely different way xx

your life will change, your relationship too. but not in bad ways. your relationship will become deeper than before, you will have so many new shared “firsts”, you’ll be growing up while a little version of you does the same. along as you are supported by this partner you will also get me time and time alone. if you have other support there use it or find a very good and trusted babysitter and use them for date nights or time alone if partner is busy. you’re going to enter the most rewarding chapter of your life. of course it’s scary because it’s a lot, but it’s not all negative. come at it with love and good communication with your partner.

Is baby okay

My 3 year old was bouncing on the bed and I was on my phone and he landed on the right side of my belly I’m 29 weeks and it didn’t hurt but felt like pressure and I haven’t felt any pain I have felt baby boy kick and move around but I just hope since I am in the 3rd trimester baby is okay? I did pray to god already and I’m just hoping that baby is okay. But I’m kinda worried

C-section booked for today and I’m so nervous

Woke up at 3.30am and I’m so nervous I can’t switch off again.

C-section was never my plan but baby is breech so we decided to go this route.

Can’t believe we’re going to meet our baby girl today 🥹 it’s also my second one so I sort of know what’s ahead of us and panicking about the postpartum 😅

Good luck to all of us mamas! 💕

Unexpected blessing

Never thought i’d be on these type of apps! I’m 31 and pregnant with my first. I’m 4 months now. I still can’t believe i’m pregnant. I’ve lived my life being told that i’d never be able to conceive naturally with PCOS and being overweight my whole life until about 3 years ago when I lost 85 pounds. And with my current partner of 1 year… BOOM i’m pregnant. I really accepted that i’d never be a mom and I was okay with it. But now that I’m pregnant, I’m so happy but scared at the same time! Anyone else on the same boat??
