Announcing pregnancy to bff dealing with recurrent miscarriages.

The title sums it up. What is the best way to go about this? this will be my second child. I have also dealt with miscarriage in the past before my first born so I can only imagine how horrible it is for her and I feel so sorry for her. I don’t know how to tell her I am expecting a second child. I am still in the early stages of my pregnancy. She tells me she is positive about her situation and I know she would be happy for me but I feel some kind of guilt and I don’t know how to bring the news to her.

Wedding dilemma!!

We (myself, husband and 3 year old daughter) had been invited to a wedding in October and responded to the invite. Since then, we're pregnant and due in June.

I received a text from the bride (husbands cousins partner) saying that babies were not invited to the wedding and she hopes it doesn't change anything.

I completely understand child free weddings but it's upset me that my one child is invited but my newborn who is more reliant isn't. I'm not willing to leave my 3/4 month old so early on.

How would you respond to this? Decline?

Baby Bodhi, Born at home on his due date 🥹🩵

After weeks of start stop / prodromal labour our baby boy was born on his due date at 20:25pm!
I went into triage that morning as I thought that my waters had started to trickle (this was only by the off chance because I felt a tiny bit damp I honesty thought it could of just been watery discharge because it wasn’t a lot) and I tested positive for my waters going, they wanted me back in at 6am for an induction the next day (which I really did not want) I went home spent the day preparing and went on a nice walk, contractions began less than an hour before he was born on the living room floor in 2 pushes 😭😭😭 I didn’t have chance to make it in my birth pool or into the ambulance waiting outside for us, (my midwife wanted me to go in to deliver at hospital) what an unbelievable experience!

I never thought id be posting on this

Has there been any moms that have been cheated on but they did right by your and your 1 year old and made things right?

Just found out my partner cheated at the beginning of our relationship and flirting with girls through it and messaged sex workers and met up with them 4 months ago (2/3) sex workers for a quick romp for 15 mins.

I feel sick to my stomach. I hurt so bad. Ive cried so much that im numb.
Ive just ordered a test as Ive had flu symptoms so fingers crossed im not suffering with HIV 🤢 I feel lost.

Baby's stomach measuring big at 20 weeks

I had my 20 week scan yesterday and everything looked perfect apart from the baby's stomach was measuring a bit bigger than expected. Has anyone else had this and what did it mean? They have told me not to worry and that because I already have a gestational diabetes test in June they don't need to book one.

32 week ultrasound

Yesterday I had my 32-week ultrasound at 32W4D. I read the results and it says based on the size of my baby I am 35 weeks with an EDD of May 19th. Lucky for me, I track everything on my phone, so I know that isn't possible. I have an appointment with my OBGYN on Monday but I'm wondering whether they are just telling me my baby is big? Has anyone else been in the same boat before and still had the original due date? I was set on a June baby 😅

Does anyone ever NOT get sick with a stomach virus in the house?

My 3yr just started throwing up in the middle of the night. I know its highly likely I'll get sick, too, but I'm really hoping I don't. I just started a new job. It's literally my second week. I know its not really something I can control, but I'm scared it will look bad if I have to call out so soon. I'm holding out hope I don't get it
