Third trimester worries!

I got quite lucky and the 1st and 2nd trimester felt like a breeze for me. This 3rd one is testing me. Naturally I feel more exhausted and tired... However, I'm constantly worrying.. I've suffered with depression in the past and I'm terrified it will come back just as bad! Does anyone else feel like this?

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 😅

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!!!!

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

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…
