Dose it feel different announcing your 2nd pregnancy compare to your first pregnancy?

I’m 20 weeks and only 10 people know I am pregnant! I don’t know what it is this time but I feel more cagey about announcing my pregnancy this time around! I’m so excited for this baby and I’ve been waiting for 2/3 years. I announced my first at 15 weeks and announced the gender at 18 weeks but this time I’ve managed to make it to 20 weeks and I just don’t know, I don’t feel like the need to tell people like I did with my first! My husband is super excited to announce it but is patiently waiting for me to be ready!

Soft spot anxiety

I’ve suffered with 6 years of infertility, 3 miscarriages and finally got pregnant via IVF and had our beautiful boy in April, I’ve always been an anxious person but my the anxiety that comes with being a mum is enormous!

Anyone I’ve been rubbing his head dry with a towel after his bath to dry his hair, and all of a sudden yesterday I just became so unenviable anxious about his soft spot and the fact I could of hurt him or caused some damage, my husband has tried to reassure me but my anxiety is absolutely eating me apart thinking the worst 😭😭

Third baby?????

Debating if I want that third child lol. I already got my boy, and my girl that was born last September. I’ve always wanted more kids but once baby number 2 came, definitely changed my perspective on everything 😂 I’ll be 35 this year and if we do decide on having one more, definitely want to try before 40. Anyone else? Any mamas wanna share their thoughts on this :) no judgement here !

Anyone throw up more in their second trimester than their first?

I was lucky in my first trimester because I didn’t experience any vomiting, just really bad nausea.

Now, the nausea has definitely subsided but I can feel my body physically changing and how it’s putting pressure on my stomach. I’m even more sensitive to what I eat and sometimes it gets so cramped so quickly that I throw up.

I’m bummed because I was really looking forward to the second trimester and feeling better. Anyone else dealing with this? What’s helped?
