Paranoid lol

As I get closer to due date obviously i'm getting more nervous as a ftm, but I had a midwife app today and didn't have my usual lady. The one I had today has made me feel worse lol and tried to tell me, not suggest, to not use prep machines and asked why I'm leaning more towards bottle feed and if I've even spoke to anyone about breastfeeding and if I've bothered to attend any classes for anything. It was the way she said it

Then when feeling my stomach she says she's not sure if the baby is head down. I mentioned in my last appointment they said he was. She continued to feel and said feels like the head is up top but then just moved on and didn't mention it again 😩

Now I'm feeling even worse and wondering what to do

Don’t let anyone pressure you into breastfeeding!

I have had a different midwife everytime it’s been a terrible experience tbh!! Just ignore her and as the lady above said don’t let anyone pressure you. Initially I said I would BF because it’s ā€œbetter for baby etcā€ everything the midwifes drilled into me when actually it’s not really what I want to do. Now I have made my firm decision I feel much better and happier about it, each to their own I have my own reasons for wanting to bottle feed, stick to your guns whatever you want to do x

Third Trimester Acne

Hii ! so I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant, and my acne has gotten the worse it’s been since middle school. šŸ˜‚ Has anyone noticed this to be true for them, and what have you been using or doing to keep it at bay? I eat pretty healthy, and limit my sugar intake. My baby shower is coming up in 2 weeks and I feel so insecure about it. 😭 #help

Bump

Feel like I’m about to explode, the exponential rate I’ve grown at is next level. You know it’s bad when people stop asking you when you’re due and start asking how long have you got left. Second pregnancies are HARD….im done.

Complete placenta previa

Hi , im currently 25w1d . Ive had 2 natural births prior from this pregnancy. I was told after getting my second anatomy scan , that i have complete placenta previa and i would have to do a planned c section around 36 weeks. All ive been doing is research and im not so sure it’s the best idea. Im terrified . For the surgery/recovery. Etc. i just really wanted to know if anyone had any advice on the preparation and process . And what i should really look into as this being my first c section.

32 weeks coming up!

Hey ladies! How are you all feeling? Have you started preparing for delivery yet? Did you get a diaper bag? I feel like am very behind because I haven’t got anything for myself post delivery yet. I’ve been receiving gifts from friends and family for the baby but I havent thought about my post delivery care and essentials!

Also, how are we feeling mentally? Am still working full time but it’s really starting to get uncomfortable being stuck in DC traffic and working for long hours. I’ve been very irritable and having mood swingsšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
