Last few weeks!!!

I had my birth plan appt yesterday and for the first time in 8 months, I feel excited about the baby. Sounds awful but it’s been such a lonely journey. My ex has got worse with his abuse over the last few weeks and I’m just mentally worn out. So having this chat yesterday and saying what I want just felt so good. I’m giving birth in a midwife baby led unit so it’s a little new for me, but the support and the way they do things just makes me so excited. Yes the father of the child will be there but just knowing the midwives will be there to support me and have my back is just the best feeling. ❤️

I got married! 🩷

Yesterday was my wedding day. I was pronounced a wife at 1:30 at the court house.

After having 2 babies, with my man for 4 years and knowing him for 6, we finally got our documents.

Labor questions:

Hey there! My name is Lindsay. I’m 22 (almost 23) and I’m due with my first baby July 13th, making me 38w2d as of now. Everyone tells me “oh you’ll know when you’re in labor”, but I’m doubting myself after seeing second and even third time moms not knowing even after having a kid or 2. I can’t really ask my mother as she had a c-section with both my sister and I, so she didn’t get to experience labor or her water breaking. (She has been WONDERFUL this pregnancy though none the less and I am VERY greatful to have her around.) 🥰
Any advice for a new mama? 💖

Does anyone else relate?

I'm 6m postpartum and... I miss being pregnant. I know I'm sure I sound crazy to some. To be more specific, middle of the second trimester, when it was obvious I was pregnant but not yet waddling.

With my first that was my sweet spot, enjoying less/no morning sickness, bump is showing, people asking about me/baby, fiancé doting on me & getting all my cravings.

I think it's partly because in the newborn stage w my 6mo, I wasn't very present.. like I was in a fog, only semi there. I was very much in survival mode. Looking back I don't really remember much. I'm so grateful I took as many pictures as I did, so many I don't remember taking.

Does anyone else understand this?
