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 😅

It works wonders for my PGP😩it gets to the point it’s the only comfortable thing to sit on😂😂

I would say it is useful but only towards the end of pregnancy for pelvic exercises.. it’s then easier to accept having it taking up the space if it’s only for say, 2 months.

Some people also rave about using it to settle a baby when they’re a few months old so could be something to try after the baby’s born too 🤷🏼‍♀️

Used it for half a year after giving birth by jumping on it and putting the baby to sleep

Omg yes! I thought I wouldn’t need it until later in the pregnancy but at 19 weeks with sciatic and PGP etc, it’s saved me! A few weeks on and I’m using it multiple times a day!

Was good for me when I had hip pain! My cocsix (can’t spell it lol) was so painful throughout pregnancy and this was the only thing I could sleep on sometimes x

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?

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!!!!

2nd Pregnancy

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant with your 2nd?

I’m want a second more than anything but am scared I’ll have a ‘here we go again’ ‘back to square one’ moment…

When to announce pregnancy?

I'm 10 weeks and my sibling is having a baby that is due any day now. Do I wait until after baby is born to announce my pregnancy so that I don't take the spotlight away from them? Or do I just do it when I'm ready?🤔
