January babies

Did everyone go for their first appointment and have their ultrasound already? I found out I was pregnant earlier this time around since we were actively trying. I still have one more week until first appointment and then I’ll schedule my first ultrasound 😬😩

How did you get rid of your c section shelf?

Example what workouts (bonus points if you have the video links!)
What creams to help with scarring? Or just firming up the shelf

Baby number 2

I had a my baby via c-section. She’ll be 1 by August 2026. Has anyone been pregnant before their baby turned one ? Did you get any health complication ?. I don’t know if trying for another baby a month to her 1st birthday would be a terrible mistake.

Leaving baby during day/overnight

I saw a post on here recently where someone was saying they haven’t left their baby with anyone yet. I regularly have my parents or my partners parents have my baby for a morning or afternoon and I’ve already left him overnight twice - once for a wedding and once to go to a gig. I know I’m in a very lucky position to have both sets of grandparents live locally and that can help. But I wonder if it’s unusual that I’ve already left him a few times compared to other people?! Curious to know if anyone else has left their baby over night yet?

Exhausted

Is anyone else just exhausted, I haven’t slept longer than 4 hours in 4 months. Sometimes it feels like your doing something wrong when you hear baby’s sleeping all night

Lower back nerve pain

I have what feels like a pinched nerve in my lower back right side that goes into my hip, any tips on how to relieve this, it’s been a long night so far 😩 stopping me from sleeping on my left side completely, now right side is also uncomfortable

Edit - I’m 17 weeks, first baby

so much pain

i’m 31 weeks, this is my second baby (2 under 2) and past few days i’ve been having severe back/rib pain that doesn’t seem to get better when i lay down. it’s also soo much more difficult to breathe while im laying down as well. i know rib and back pain to some extent is super common and normal but this level of pain is unreal and i don’t remember it being like this with my first, i wasn’t nearly as uncomfortable this soon. anyone else???
