2 under 2

for the ones with two under two, that are in their early 20’s, how are you guys managing ? how did you guys pop out pregnant? did you post your pregnancy? I’m currently 6 weeks and a few days pregnant, and I want to protect my peace, so, I will be keeping this pregnancy to myself, but, I just wanted to know how you guys did it, for reference, i’m 21 with a 9 month old.

Is my baby okay?

I’m 9 weeks pregnant and my son who is 2 was sitting next to me as I was laying on my side and he stood up by putting pressure not kick but kinda like a step/ push off on my left side of my belly and now I’m so worried what if baby isn’t okay and what if the baby is gone. I went through a miscarriage in January of this year and since then I’m just already so worried of another one. I tell my 2 year old be careful with baby and he has kicked my belly before and everything was fine but still I get so worried especially because that side does feel sore especially in the pelvic but please someone help with my stress.

‘Borderline’ high blood pressure

I’ve been had readings of blood pressure that’s ‘borderline’ high and one or two in which my diastolic was 90 and over since Friday. I’ve been sent to triage today after seeing my own midwife and was seen Monday, baby’s movements all fine, urine fine, no symptoms but they’ve done bloods and sent me home today with plan for my midwife to see me next week to repeat my BP.
I’m 35 + 2, just wondering if anyone else has had this and what they did? I’m just feeling drained due to worrying on and off and don’t know what to do for the best.
Any input is massively appreciated. Thank you ☺️
