Not trying to brag but 😭

Is anyone else just not really feeling scared at all?? Like about birth or anything?? Second child so not sure if that’s why but this time around I’m just super excited!
I don’t really remember how I felt with my first pregnancy because I was in fight or flight mode the whole time being in an abusive relationship and only 19.
So I kind of assumed this time around I’d be a lot more scared and nervous, especially about labour because my experience at the hospital last time was really awful.
But I’ve had 1 month of worrying and being scared. And now its the opposite and I can’t wait! I’m so so excited to see and hold my baby!
Every time I remind my boyfriend there’s only 17 weeks left, he has a panic and says ‘don’t! I’m so scared!’ Lol

I'm terrified 😭 but exact same as you, second, first one was horrendous and super young. How did it suddenly click for you?

So I am diagnosed with GAD but the whole time I've been pregnant I've felt quite calm about everything. Obviously a bit scared about the pain but I'm not worrying or ruminating at all. I keep wondering where it's gone!

I feel the exact same lol my daughter is just under 2.5 and had a very medical birth with induction etc and I havent given it a single thought this time! Weirdly I just feel like well I know I can do it and I know how it feels to meet my baby so I am ready. May get a reality check smacking me in the face lol bu for now I feel so grateful for this! No time to be worrying about it with a busy toddler 🙈

Shaving legs

At how many weeks did you stop shaving your legs? Or when did it become too much of a task? For me it’s officially 26 weeks/27 weeks. It’s too much to bend. Unless you have any ideas of how to shave them then let me know!!! It’s having the back pain, and my bladder is sensitive so anytime I even slightly bend I pee and sometimes more than I expected

Went for 38 week check up

They found sugar in my urine … what does this mean? Is it bad?

I did a sneakpeak, any guesses

I feel confident in the test but would like some guesses as well

Valid annoyance?

My uniform at work was too big for me before I was pregnant (I was due to order new ones after loosing weight but found out I was pregnant so kept them), so I feel like I wasn’t ’showing’ to a lot of people at work.

I’m now 33 weeks pregnant and look very obviously pregnant and I’m sick of someone every day saying “wow baby has come out of no where” “you’re so big now, it’s come from no where” “wow you’re really showing”.

I even had “are you sure there’s not 3 babies in there?”.

I just feel like it’s so rude that people keep commenting on my body, just because I’m having a baby, surely that doesn’t give people the right?! It’s also upsetting as I don’t feel my best atm anyway so people daily telling me this is dragging me down but I’m not sure if it’s me being too sensitive or not?!
