Fathers’ Day

I’m 41 weeks tomorrow and have been trying EVERYTHING to get this baby out. It’s just dawned on me that it’s Father’s Day this Sunday so if I have the baby on Sunday, the baby is the gift😅
This has given me patience to wait a few more days, if anyone else can find comfort in that

Normal reaction to pregnancy announcement?

I told my friend who I used to be close with that I'm pregnant, she pulled away and said " what the fu*k " with shock that looked anywhere between surprise and disgust.
No smile.
Just stared at me until I nodded and i said yes, she then asked who knows, etc. Not once did she say congratulations.

We haven't been close in months.

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.

Last baby 👶🏼

I’ve just had my second, and last baby, 2 weeks ago. I know I’m done at two, and I’ve been lucky enough to have a girl, then a boy, but does anyone else in the same situation feel sad that they’re never going to experience pregnancy, and labour again? Labour with my son was fasttt and so intense with crazy contractions but I’d do it again in a heartbeat for my perfect boy.

I don’t know what I’m getting out of writing this post but just felt I needed to write it somewhere! It’s the end of an era and I’m content with my two children, but never experiencing pregnancy, kicks, scans, or having a newborn baby placed on your chest, or having that first night in hospital just you and your baby again makes me feel a little sad too!

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!

Anyone else not bothered with the raspberry leaf tea and other stuff ?

My first pregnancy in 2022 I drank the raspberry leaf tea, tried to eat dates as much as I could even tho I don’t like them , did the perineal massage , harvested colostrum, bounced on my exercise ball everyday and probably other things that are said to help with labour and delivery etc that I can’t remember now . This pregnancy I feel like I’m so occupied with life and my 3 year old that I just haven’t bothered with any of it , I’ve even forgot to take my prenatals for probably months now🤦‍♀️ I was so on it with everything before and now feeling paranoid that I’ve done nothing this time round and I’m now 36+5 weeks absolutely exhausted and ready for baby to come!

Oh and considering I did all that last time I ended up having to be induced at 41+5 and had my son exactly 42 weeks so does it really help? 😂
