Falling pregnant this month.

I really want to conceive this month. Its the last day of my period today. I have bought iron tablets because am always low and never take then, and folic acid/vitamin d pregnancy tablets as vitamin d is always low too 😅 will start them tomorrow. Then try and look after myself better eating and drinking. As I have a habit of skipping meals due to being so busy and then eating/snacking all at once. We will try from tomorrow is that the best way? Would you recommend trying every day or having a gap of 1 day?

Great that you’ll be taking iron and vit d, my advice would be to make sure you take iron with vit C and away from caffeine and calcium, and vit D with your fattiest meal of the day for better absorption. Regarding trying, is tomorrow the start of your fertile window ? If so, every other day for a week is a good start, I believe.

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!!!!

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 😭

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?

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
