I am currently on mat leave and started at 31 weeks mine is due to having regular growth scans due to baby being small. Last time I was 34 weeks and baby came at 36 weeks

I would say take annal leave from 36 weeks if you can. As second borns can come early/ quick. I decided to push mine to my due date with 2 weeks annual leave and baby came earlier than expected.

Okay ladies, how long did you wait??🥴🥰

Second child, no epidural, no tears no stitches…just trying to gauge how long everyone waited. It’s been about a month so far…looking forward to you all sharing…

Weight gain

Hello!! So im 25 weeks pregnant and I already haved gained 23lbs, which my doctor suggested to go on a diet and watch out for what I eat. I am in the heavy side. When I got pregnant I was 225lbs. I know I was overweight, but I had always weight heavy due to muscle and bone weight plus im tall. I went through a tough time in my life which lead to depression and anxiety, that caused my to gained weight rapidly. Anyway, I have been in a diet ( gestational diabetes diet) that consists on high protein/ low carb diet. I have been exercising plus I work on my feet for 8hrs constantly moving and I weight my self today thinking that I would loose at lease 5 pound and nothing I gained 1 pound more which make me sad. I dont know what else to do. My OB say that I have a big baby, but she is afraid that I would have GD and if im have a bigger bmi that I would have a high risk pregnancy. Im scared

Baby coming hopefully

So my due date is tommorow , ob appointment today I was 4cm & 80% he said he’d be suprised if I made it thru the night 😩😩
My 13 month old has been clinging to my belly all day I’m pretty sure tonight’s going to be the night ! Makes me super emotional knowing that her entire world is about to be flipped inside out.
