Body preparing

I’m 32 weeks. Baby has started to drop and get in position, mucus plug is coming away, Braxton hicks and increase in back pain. This is baby number 2 and definitely feels like my body is getting ready. Now the long wait to see if I’ve still got the full two months to go 😂 if anything, these signs are just telling me to get the house and bags ready because there’s only so long it can be put off 😂

How is everyone?

Now that all the March babies have been born, I just wondered how everyone was doing?
Me personally, I have good days and bad days but I would say overall mostly good! 8 weeks pp, csection, all healed well and my boy is changing everyday!
I think the hardest thing for me is accepting my new body shape. Ive ordered some clothes that I hope help me bring a bit of confidence back

BMI question

I'm currently 12 weeks into my very first pregnancy and had my initial midwife appointment a few weeks ago. The 'consultant' told me that my BMI was slightly over 30 so there were additional things I needed to do such a weight management course so that I dont put on loads of weight - which has really scared me.
Just wondered if theres anyone else who's been through this and if baby was born ok?

How is everyone doing ?

We are in may. I hope everyone delivered April babies. How is postpartum treating you all ?

For me it’s been a roller coaster 2 weeks pp but enjoying motherhood.
