Honestly, both my toddlers are tetchy because of the heat, plus trying to find things to keep them entertained in this heat and foods they’ll eat, newborn just eat sleeps and poos πŸ˜‚xxx

Omg it's brutal isn't it haha! Thank god it worked out my husband had two weeks off before birth and two weeks after because I honestly don't think I'd be able to do it!
He's back to work part time Monday and I'm already dreading it. Baby boy seems to be wanting to feed exactly when it's time to get my 3.5 year old up for nursery in the morning. Think the logistics of it all is going to take some time to get used to as well as adjusting back to being sleep deprived (my toddler sleeps 11hrs most nights!). Thankfully my eldest has adjusted so so well to having a baby and not having mummy around as much, so I know it could be way way worse.

I have so much fear about my husband going back to work! He's had 4 weeks off and 2 more left but my almost 2 year old is big and strong and I don't know how I am going to deal with him running off throwing tantrums on the floor or trying to bounce the baby into space on the bouncer, he wakes at 6am so I don't even have time to get ourselves ready before he's on the rampage screaming and shouting about every every daily task like his nappy and getting dressed 😭

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

Air conditioning/cooler recommendations.

Hey ladies. I am at the end of my tether and really cannot cope with this heat anymore πŸ₯Ί 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??

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. β™‘

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. πŸ₯°
