Announcing!!

Hi! My ladies with EDDs around 1/18 or so, when are you announcing publicly/social media? ** we do not believe in HAVING to wait 12 weeks and we believe it should be when you’re ready since anything can really happen anytime. I pray that we all have healthy babies 🙏😊💓 **

We told our parents and friends the weekend after we found out!! Just curious to hear when you’re announcing publicly, we’re thinking 6-8 weeks! I’m almost 5 now. Picture is how we told my husbands family.

Water broke

Yallll I’m only 29 weeks and I sneezed today and my water broke…no hospital bag no baby bag no NOTHING I am soooooo angry and anxious with myself 🤦🏾‍♀️

Lost but excited

I feel lost in this pregnancy even though it’s barely just begun. I have a 3YO and a 1YO🥲. MyEDD is January 12, and I’m almost 6 weeks!! I knew I was pregnant before I even got a positive test🤣 I swear we just know sometimes! I also started my new job yesterday!🥳 I know it’s nothing fancy but I love my job, I’m a Donut decorator at my father-in-laws bakery! Excited to tell the baby news to all our friends and family but we’re waiting until I’m in my second trimester! My little beans💕 also why do people judge just because I let my son keep his long curly hair? ITS GORGEOUS!!❤️

When are you telling everyone?

My husband and I are gonna tell our boys we are pregnant at 7 weeks by doing a private ultrasound with just us. Then we plan on telling extended family that weekend with cute little gifts then probably waiting to announce on socials until around 10 weeks. What about you all?! When and how are you gonna tell your friends and families?! It’s the hardest secret to keep I swear😅😭

preeclampsia / gestational hypertension

hi! I’m just shy of 32 weeks and have hyperemesis. I also just got a gestational hypertension diagnosis as my bp has started creeping up. It went from 120s/70s to 150s/90s within about a week but fluctuates a lot. My doc already said we’re gonna have to induce at 37, but I’m terrified of things creeping into preeclampsia territory & having to deliver at 34 or sooner.

for anyone that’s had/has preeclampsia, were there any early signs? & was there any specific trigger that moved you from “okay to monitor at home” territory to hospital/delivery territory?

Not feeling pregnant and freaking out slightly

18+1 with twins..I had a midwife appt 1.5 weeks ago and we heard both heartbeats so I don’t know why I’m worrying. I saw a couple of pieces of content about ppl losing their babies around this time and now I’m spiralling a bit, I just don’t know why!

Anyone else feel like this or can help me get out of this headspace?!

29 weeks, been sooo crampy this week. 😞

Things are getting real, almost to the 10 week countdown! (Well, both my other babies came at 39 weeks so I guess this is the 10 week countdown) 😅
