I’m also due on the 2nd! Have done barely anything but then it is my second so I’m probs a bit too relaxed haha. Also feel like now we are on the last few weeks time has stopped😂

Bought everything! Probably from the 20th week, next to me crib, car seat, stroller, bouncer, playmat, clothes, bottles etc. it’s just all in boxes, so now need to build it all and set it up. Anxiety got the better off me so I just wanted to be prepared just in case.

I’m due the 4th I’ve got clothes all washed, hung and folded from newborn up to 6-9 months. I’ve got nappies and wipes sorted all bedroom furniture and Moses basket and next to me ready travel system set up car seat ready to go in. Got my baby shower this weekend literally got everything ready except my hospital bag packed and I’ll probably get that packed within the next week

Pre term labour

Hi I need some advice as this has never happened to me before yesterday my waters broke and I’ve been in hospital ever since I’ve been told by doctors and staff that I will have remain in hospital until my planned c section I’m so scared and I’m constantly worring about my kids as they are with my husband and I don’t like to be apart from them for a long time but at the same time I want to try to keep this pregnancy for as long as I can due to this being my last pregnancy what can I do to worry less or to ensure that I don’t go into early labour again as they seemed to stop my labour yesterday

Line eyes?? Tesco pregnancy test

Genuinely can’t tell if its an indent or if im seeing things?? Not sure how reliable Tesco pregnancy tests are either

I don’t want the newborn phase to end 🥹

This baby is my third and definitely my final baby and I am soaking it allllll up. It hits differently when you know it’s your last. The days are long but the years are short - make the most of it all if you can mamas these really are the most special days 🥰

Gaining weight

I just wanted to ask something that's been on my mind lately because I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling the same.

Has anyone started feeling a bit insecure about the weight they've gained or how their body has changed during pregnancy? Until recently I honestly wasn't thinking about it and was just happy that everything was going well.

But over the last few weeks I've had a few comments from women who had babies years ago saying that I've "put on a lot of weight", and it's really got into my head. I'm currently 25 weeks and I've gained around **13 lbs (about 6 kg)**, and now I keep questioning whether that's too much.

How do you deal with comments like this? Has anyone else found themselves suddenly feeling self-conscious after other people's opinions?

2 under 2!

I’m absolutely terrified to become a mom of 2 under 2 my baby will only be roughly 14 months when my next baby is here. How can I make the transition easier for my girl? I will also be having a repeat c section due to already having a uterine window and only 24 weeks. Any mamas who share similar experiences what should I expect and dos and don’t. I want all the good and bad!!
