Today’s my birthday

My own family hasn’t even attempted to call and I don’t have any friends. My baby daddy is not in my life. It’s just me and my infant daughter today. Kind of sleep deprived but trying not give up on expecting my birthday to be special.

Any well wishes and/or suggestions on how to celebrate as a new mom is welcomed.

Go get a cake and celebrate with your little one

Where abouts are you based ? Happy to chat xx

Happy birthday!!

I am so sorry honey happy birthday I do too feel lonely sometimes it’s ok to not be ok! But try to do the most to
Enjoy your birthday like even if it’s treating yourself to your favorite restaurant or ordering your favorite food. Pray and be thankful for a new year God has given you. All my best wish for you and love♥️🎊

I’m so sorry your family hasn’t shown up for you how they should. That’s tough.

Even though your daughter is only an infant, you should show her how to value herself by starting with yourself. You should absolutely make a traditional to make celebrate yourself on birthdays however you’d want your daughter to do so when she’s older.

Buy yourself a few gifts, wrap them up pretty, get whatever treat you want, sing yourself happy birthday, take some photos of you and your daughter together celebrating.

Honestly I wish someone had told that to me a long time ago. Don’t skip it!

Also - HAPPY 🎂 🎉 🎈

Happy *birthday*

Happy birthday and go celebrate anyways. If you want to chat hit me up.

Happy birthday! Give that baby extra cuddles and just look at what you made. Take time today to marvel. She wouldn't be here without you! You're awesome! Give yourself a treat in whatever way you need. Permission to eat some more chocolate, sleep more, leave the kitchen a mess, order out, or just lie in bed cuddling your little one.
You're amazing, she's amazing and forget everyone else. Self care matters. You're worth it

Happy birthday Taurus ♉️ girl ✨❤️

Happy birthday girlie ! I definitely understand wanting your birthday to be special . On the bright side you and your baby girl can celebrate today 🫶🏽❤️

Happy birthday!! Get yourself a cake and some candles and take bubba out !! Tonight snuggle down and watch a movie together xx

Happy birthday, I've had birthdays where my mother didn't even call, and it hurt. It's ok to feel sad, and celebrate by doing something nice for yourself if you're able to, like a manicure/pedicure. You might be able to have one of the staff watch your baby if she's in a stroller. It only takes about 1 hour and half, but at least for me, a mani/pedi helps me feel better. I understand that not everyone is in a place to financially spend on that, and may not be in a location where that is possible, so definitely understand if this is not a possibility.

Happy birthday, small cake and grateful for life. And special your baby!

Happy birthday Mama! Take your daughter and go do what you love doing. Even if it’s to go to the aquarium, or the zoo, or to the mall just to treat yourself! Oh, and don’t forget to get a cake too if you like cake🫶🏾❤️

I love her so much already!!

Pregnant after 2 missed periods!!!

For context: My last cycle was Feb. 12th. I had a blood test on March 25th it was negative. On Mother’s Day I went to the ER for chest pain. The doctor comes in and says “ congratulations you’re pregnant!”. I didn’t believe her so she did an ultrasound. This is my 3rd and has never happened to me. I struggle with fertility, as I have PCOS now called PEMS.

Has this happened to anyone else? No cycle and ended up pregnant?

Baby no 2

How long did it take people to fall
Pregnant with baby no 2?

Who should be next?

I booked a nail appointment for 10am. Walked in at 9.50am behind another lady who didn't have an appointment. The 5 technicians were already busy. When one was finished, the lady without the appointment was sat before me. Surely if you have an appointment you should be next?
I ended up waiting until 10.25 before I was sat in a chair.
I know it's not first world problems, but who should be sat first? 😂

Body scans at airports while pregnant

I’m travelling tomorrow and I know I’ll have to go through a body scanner. But I don’t feel comfortable doing that specially in my very early pregnancy. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first I asked to opt out but they kinda refused and said it’s safe and that I will get more radiation from the plane.
What are your thoughts? Did you go through them or asked to opt out?

Just got off work at 6am

I swear I need to get some sleep, but cant because im so over filled with joy. I guess ill make my appointment monday🙏🙏🫶😊 cant wait for my 1st ultrasound to see my lil bean.
