Announcement

When would you begin telling friends and family?
I only just found out two days ago I am pregnant, I’d be about 4 weeks at the moment?

With my son I told my mum and sister at 4 weeks, some immediate family at 6 weeks and everyone else at 11 weeks after scan. This time round I’m struggling to keep quiet after waiting so long!

I’d personally wait until 12weeks… once I told my sister, when I was 4 weeks pregnant, and after 3days I found out it was a chemical pregnancy. So now I keep it quiet!

I found out I was pregnant in jan. Told my family at 10 weeks ans stated to miscarring the next day. Im currently about 5 weeks pregnant again and I have told my mum and my dad. I dont want to be alone if I have to go thru loosing another. I will tell me boss (as im close with her) and my close friend after my 6week scan next week.
Its completely up to you, I would say personal preference. It would of been nice to have the support when I was going thru the tough time of not knowing. But also its nice to surprise people. Xx

So over ittttt

I’m 37 weeks and just so over this pregnancy now!
I know baby will come when they’re ready but I just want this baby out of me now!😂
I’m so bloody exhausted and having constant painful pelvic pains.

Any way to help bring on labour soon?
I’ve been collecting colostrum, eating dates, walking everything.

FTM scared

Hey guys, I’m 27 a FTM and I’m sooo scared. I had to go to L&D today due to high blood pressure and my feet and hands have been swelling I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant and according to my dr baby is ready and in position I’m not sure if I’m dilating as of yet he didn’t check my cervix today. Also I’ve been gaining weight like crazy he said it could be fluid retention but my goodness I’m passed 40lb and I’m trying not to stress to not make it worst but idk what to do. Anyone ever experienced high blood pressure during their pregnancy.

Sharing the news with a new employer

I’m 15 weeks pregnant and I’ve just started a new role. I’m feeling nervous about sharing my news cause I’ve just started & it’s a contract role. Nothing in the world is more important to me than growing my baby but I also don’t want to disappoint anyone. I also don’t know exactly when I should share it - I was thinking maybe 16 or 20 weeks. Does anyone have experience with this now or in the past? How’d you frame the conversation?

Nub theory

Does anyone still grieve their pregnancy?

I have an 18 month old girl who I absolutely adore the bones of but I still get upset when I think about my pregnancy. I deeply miss that chapter of my life. The scans, the planning and just the magical feeling of carrying her and feeling her kicking. I waited so long to experience it and feel like it was all over in the blink of an eye. I find it very difficult to look at my pregnancy pictures and the newborn photos as it physically hurts my heart and I just sob 😞

I am on 20mg Citalopram have been for 8 months now but I’m starting to wonder if I need to speak to the doctor again or are these feelings normal? Also struggling to accept I won’t be having anymore because my partner isn’t on board. X
