Baby no.2 coming earlier?

So this is baby no.2, first baby didn’t ‘drop’ until near due date but this baby dropped about 3 weeks ago. I have had a lot of pressure and generally just feeling like I could go at any point! I’ve had some on/off very mild cramping through the day and the last couple of days I’ve also had loose stools and now I’m panicking! Will I go early? I don’t even have my bag packed and all baby stuff is at my mums 4hrs away!!!!

It’s normal for 2nd/3rd babies to engage sooner. My 1st and 2nd both came at 40wks, it’s so hard to tell! My 3rd is currently 4/5 engaged and has been for a few weeks- it really is a wild card 🙈

Yeah I was 4/5 engaged at my last check which was 3 weeks ago 😭 I better get packing

My first and second both came at 39+3! 4/5 engaged means 1 5th of the head is engaged it’s the opposite way round for some reason it makes it confusing 😅

Currently postpartum & curious 🤍

Being away from family and with my husband traveling for work, it’s been just me and baby a lot… especially overnight.

How supported did you really feel during those first few weeks?

I keep thinking I would’ve loved a few hours of help just to rest or get things done… honestly I might’ve even paid for that 😅

Did y’all ever feel like that?

Is it worth getting a pregnancy ball?

I like the idea of using it but also just think it will be staying in the middle of my living room being not pretty and slightly annoying 😅

Anxious

Hoping someone has been through something similar or can just ease my anxiety around my second C section. I'm due my second child in July and will be having another elective C section, my first pregnancy was absolutely perfect and I loved my section but this pregnancy has been the complete opposite and I've got low iron and blood pressure which has made me feel really anxious about having another C section. I know it'll likely all be ok but I'm just so so anxious this time round 😭

Hormone dip at six months ?

So my baby is 6 months old on the 1st May but I swear my hormones must be dipping or whatever they’re doing because the last few days I’ve felt so anxious and very mood swings etc the way I was when baby was originally born! Like I just very emotional anxious it’s exhausting x
