Who else Had both Pregnancy and Birth a positive experience?

I enjoyed my pregnancy and birth but feel I can't talk about it as everyone else had bad experiences.

Nah it’s just you girl.

jk lol. Pregnancy was mean to me 😂
My birth wasn’t not positive. I had healthy babies. I couldn’t ask for more.

Having a smooth pregnancy though is not something to not talk about! Brag it up all you want. It’s also ok for women who didn’t to not relate. However, don’t dim yourself. You had a great pregnancy? I love that for you! Go mama!

Haha giiirrrrllll believe I hated being pregnant but the experience was fuxking great I’m gonna suffer again 🤣🤣! I’ve had 3 pregnancies 2 I had and 1 miscarriage all 3 were the same I was fuxking miserable and hated life the first one I had an epidural and the 2 he was natural the experience I loved it. I was jealous of women that seemed to be able to carry a 60lb baby eat and be happy 😊

I had a beautiful pregnancy but a traumatic birth. Everyone is different. But definitely talk about it - we are here for the wins!!

I loved being pregnant. Has very easy pregnancy. My birth wasn't terrible I had a planned C-section. Everyone who I talk to about my birth say it sounds traumatic though 😅

Preparation

Mums due early September, what have you bought/got ready so far?? I’m due on the 2nd and I feel so unprepared time is flying!!

Failed my glucose by 3 points

Honestly yall im gonna decline the 3 hour. This is my 3rd pregnancy and no prior complications. I really don’t have child care to go to a 3 hour test when my hospital is 45 minutes one way. I can also monitor my blood sugar at home. Is this a dumb idea to skip

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?

NIPT
