Nursing pillow

Hello, 37 weeks here and starting to overthink everything I've prepared (or not) for the baby. We haven't got a nursing pillow yet, but I now wonder if it is something that we should consider buying? I'm planning to breastfeed and this is our first baby, so all still very abstract to us.
Do you have one? How are you finding it?

HEART BEAT

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and my baby’s heart beat is 142bpm. What was your baby’s heart beat around this time and did you conceive a boy or a girl? 🩷💙

Fear of birth

Okay, I’m gonna be real with you ladies, I’m the biggest wimp in this world.
I literally am terrified of everything, any type of pain etc.
My brain also catastrophises and makes me focus on the negative stories I’ve heard of birth and postpartum so all day every day I’m replaying the worst case scenario in my head, even before pregnancy.

Those of you who have given birth before, are there any tips or tricks you could give a first timer? Anything I need to be aware of? Did you have an amazing birth and postpartum?

I think I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope once we come home, everyone always talks about PPD and not coping and my brain keeps going over and over it.

Thanks! 💙

anyone else terrified of having sex again?

I was bleeding so heavy on my first period and a pad was not enough, but I still can’t even get a tampon in. and if I cant get a tampon in then… how am I meant to have sex😫

I had a C-Section so I have no damage/tearing down there to be worried about.

My partner is so supportive and patient and doesn’t mind at the moment, but I still feel bad!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Waiting for baby!

My due date was yesterday. I’m a FTM so knew it was likely that baby would go overdue but feeling a bit defeated that I will probably be having baby in May rather than April. Especially since I’ve been in false labour since 35 weeks.

Myself & my partner are getting constant messages asking “any signs” and giving “tips” which is making it worse.

Anyone else in this situation? Just wanted to vent a bit and see if anyone’s in the same boat!
