Does anyone else wonder when the first June baby in this group will come? 👶🏼 👀

I was in a Feb 2023 group with my first born and seeing all the baby pictures start flooding in was the best. Hopefully not just yet though, but I can’t wait! Wishing everyone a healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum 💗

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

Babies!

Has anyone had or due to have their baby in the next week or so? It’s getting close now so interested to know how people are doing! I’ve seen a few people say that they were due right at the start but due c sections or inductions towards the end of April! Or baby could have come early of course!

Did you think genetic testing was worth it?

Hi mamas 🤍 First-time mom here!

Going for a number 2 feels different?

I'm almost 2 weeks PP and ever since I've given birth, the feeling I get when I need a number 2 feels completely different? Has anyone one else experienced this? It's so strange 😂

Any plus size mums?

I'm plus sized and was due to have a C-section today as baby was breech, they did a quick scan and baby was head down so they cancelled my section and said it was best as I have an apron belly and it would make an increased risk of infection on the scar.

I asked for possible induction but they again refused to me having a high BMI and an increased risk of bleeding as I'm on blood thinners. Even asked for the balloon but consultant said no to that too :(

I just feel really disheartened about it all, I was so ready to go meet my baby this morning we got up at 5am to be at the hospital for 6.30 but now I'm back to square one.

Midwife gave me a stretch and sweep, said I'm 2cm but it literally just made me bleed a little and have a few little cramps :( but nothing since :(

I just want my baby here 😭

Did your second baby come later than your first?

I had my first daughter at 38 weeks + 3 days. I was so convinced I'd have my second daughter at 38 weeks or even earlier as I'm WAY bigger. But I'm not 38 weeks + 4 days pregnant and no sign of baby.

Were your second babies earlier or later than your first?
