I have 2 under 2 and I'm struggling it's not easy at all but they are growing so we just have to stay strong

If you can afford hiring help, do it! I just had my 2nd(1.5months ago) & I have a 3.5 yr old. My husband was only able to take 2weeks off work so we hired a postpartum doula that came 4 hrs a day for 2 weeks. That gave me a month to recover a bit until family was able to fly in to help a bit with the toddler.

I have 2 under 2.5 and it is really hard but I’m loving it, I also don’t have a village around me just me and my partner. I keep telling myself I’m not having anymore so try to be in the bubble with it, and it seems to be working I had a c section too & then a week after my stomach went black, it’s been so testing but just need to ride the wave. Always here if you want to message xx

For fun

I was inspired by a post I saw earlier. For those already married. What is your relationship with your bridesmaids currently like vs. When you got married?
I'll start: i thought these girls were the best of friends but my wedding day taught me otherwise. I talk to 2 out of the 4 on a daily basis. One I occasionally talk to still. But one of them I have not spoken to since the wedding.
Bonus if you share pic from your wedding day :)

Did your second child come sooner?

Just preparing myself incase! I had my little girl at 37+3 weeks and I’m due my boy in September but from people’s experiences should I be expecting him sooner? I know it’s not possible to know for definite but I’m really not prepared this time around😂 so which birth for you came sooner? Your first or second?

Help, feel like I’m driving myself mad

Hi, I’m 37w1d I’ve been getting Braxton hicks, back pain, period pains etc. I feel like my waters may have potentially gone their trickling slowly. Triage have said to go up but I’m worried that it’s nothing as I’ve already been up there today. Advice please

Movements

At what point have you all gone in for reduced movements?
I feel stupid going in when baby is still moving/kicking but less than normal (a lot less but still there). And have been in about 4 times already this pregnancy, it’s my first and don’t want to be seen as over anxious
