Happy Mother’s Day! (And found out I’m pregnant????)

My LO just turned 7mo and I just found out I’m pregnant. We were being careful, we did want at least two kids. I’m just… ashamed, embarrassed and all these emotions. I am happy for this new little one but I’m just not confident? And feel like I’m not ready? This is too soon?? Can someone pls tell me it’ll be all ok or any advice idk I’m just all over the place. Bunch of cries and bunch of worries.
Thanks mamas❤️

Happy Mother's Day! So prop not the answer you want to hear, but if you weren't using some form of birth control, honestly you were bound to get pregnant at some point.

As far as all of your emotions, it's totally ok. How was your partner during pregnancy? Was he understanding, supportive and helpful? How have things been going so far postpartum? Has your partner been a hands on dad? Does he pull his share of the weight or are most things on you? Meaning does he do housework, cook and clean? Does he take care of baby without your assistance? Does he get up with baby at night? Have you been able to rest when needed? Are you able to spend time alone without the baby? In the house and outside? What's your guys relationship like? How stable, secure and happy are you?
I ask these questions because I've seen too many posts of women having children with men who don't do anything or they're very bare minimum. Msny are unhappy and overwhelmed and overworked. Yet they have more kids.

I can't tell you'll it'll be ok. It's only ok if you have the right partner. But if your partner wasn't and/or still isn't doing things the way you need, having a second child right now will make things even worse. And if he really is great but you just don't feel ready, that's a valid feeling. It's ok to not feel ready. I think you should do what makes sense for you. Having another child so soon is alot

The hip and groin lock making me feel like iv dislocated myself 😆 like seriously tell me I'm not on my own and still got like 8 weeks ( praying less ) I even struggle with low down pressure just sitting down normally 🙈

Worried about postpartum

I’m a first time Mum, and everything online seems so negative about the postpartum experience. I appreciate everyone has different experiences and I also appreciate people talking about their experiences so it isn’t overwhelming to new mums if they feel a certain way. But I haven’t seen anything positive about it and it’s starting to make me worry as I really want to enjoy my baby.

Does anyone have any experiences or advice or feeling the same?x

My fear of birth is being dismissed

I feel like my fear of labour keeps being dismissed by people around me. I know they are just trying to be supportive and caring but when I say I'm a little nervous and scared about labour I just get told to get an elective. My partner and other mums have told me this. Is it that unusual to be worried about not knowing how I'm going to feel in labour? I'm definitely not anti c section and it's my plan C but I want to try naturally if I can. I still feel hopeful that I can manage but I'm getting a lot of doubts in my mind because of the amount of people saying I should get one.
