Is this normal to feel this way

Hiya, I feel like this may make me sound like an awful human. But did you all feel that immediate love and connection when you saw the two lines?

We were trying and know we want a baby, but I thought I would be overwhelmed with love immediately, and instead I’m just overwhelmed haha!

I’m hoping this comes soon as right now I feel pretty indifferent to the fact I’m pregnant.

Has anyone else felt in a similar way? Thanks xx

Yeah. Just shocked and not sure what’s going to happen. We had a scan at 7 weeks and that’s when it felt more real x

Once you have a scan and see the baby that’s when you’ll feel the love 🥺

I agree, felt it more with the scan. The test with lines was more of an “oh fuck it actually worked” and then loads of anxiety until I saw/ heard the heartbeat

Couldnt agree more, we've been trying have known we've wanted a baby for a few years but since getting our positive test I've been terrified and havent been able to enjoy it

Thank you all, I hope that’s the way. We have an early reassurance scan in 3 weeks today.

Only found out yesterday and was not expecting a positive so feel utterly shocked! I am happy but I think I just feel so much anxiety suddenly about “should we have done this now” “what about my career” “we need to move house” etc… x

Air conditioning/cooler recommendations.

Hey ladies. I am at the end of my tether and really cannot cope with this heat anymore 🥺 I am someone who has never been able to deal with heat anyway but being 24 weeks pregnant during it is another ballgame. I am very anxious that there is a long way until the end of summer, have any of you found a portable air con/cooler that actually works??

Those that have a newborn and a toddler - how are we doing?! 😴😅

I am super lucky that my husband still has a few weeks paternity leave, but I am tiired 🤣 however seeing my toddler with their sibling is the most adorable thing!

Anyone else the same weight as pre pregnancy ? 19wks

I felt like I was gaining weight but it really seems like I’m sticking around the same number. I started around 125,127 pre pregnancy and went to 133 but I got on the scale today and found myself back at 127. I’m 5’2 and stayed pretty lean before from the gym and wanting to have abs but I’m a bit concerned now. I had a midwife I seen twice but haven’t seen them since 12 weeks bc I moved states and am waiting on insurance to kick in. Anyone else weight similar or do I need to foot the bill sooner rather than later. Baby is still kicking and I have a bump.

Had my little cutie today 6/26. ♡

Honestly this was the easiest birth experience ever. I did get an epidural at 5 cm. It worked so well that even the birth itself felt like nothing. Baby boy was born at 9 am at 8 lbs 2 oz. I'm so in love all over again. 🥰
