Any August mamas given birth yet?

I’m due Aug 19 and just have a strong intuition feeling that baby’s coming a lot sooner, what are the signs leading up? This will be my third baby

this is my first baby so i don’t really know what i’m looking for that indicates that baby is coming soon other than the usual losing your mucus plug, bloody show, water break, stomach upset..
i’m due august 6 and my baby is already head down into my pelvis and the pressure is getting pretty intense. my gut is telling me that this is going to be a july baby.

I’m due Aug 15th and no signs of labor yet! This will be my 2nd but with my son I was induced at 37 weeks so who knows if my “signs” were labor approaching or just stress that I knew when baby was coming 😄

I’m due August 9th but being induced at 37 weeks because of pre-eclampsia 🥴 I’m nervy this is my first pregnancy.

Can’t control my eating

FTM and 30 weeks pregnant. I cannot stop eating, I think about food all the time. I used to eat fairly healthy and only eat what I cook at home, take aways were very rare. The last few weeks I’m craving chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts etc. I just went to the shop and forgot all of my usual shop. I can home with 2 packs of ice creams, a giant bar of chocolate, crunchy doughnuts, pizza, burgers, full sugar ginger beer, sausage rolls. What is wrong with me?
I started hiding chocolates in my room out of fear of judgement from my partner.
I want to be able to lose the weight after and worried I won’t. I have an auto immune disease so already suffer with fatigue and on bad days worsened mobility.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Any advice?

Just wondering if I’m alone

Was anyone else nervous or worried about raising a baby girl in this world? I’ve been through things because of being a girl that no one should have to and it makes me nervous as we prepare for our baby girl in the next few weeks.

Low blood pressure

I am almost 9 weeks pregnant with my second and I have been strugglinggg with low BP in the mornings and dizziness all throughout the day

The mornings are the worst. This morning I got up and could hardly make it to the dog to take her out. I laid down and checked and it was 97/54. That isn’t horribly low but it makes me feel so awful. I also have suspicions I am anemic due to me already being borderline before pregnancy. What can I do to help??
