No seriously. I started freaking out like 2 months ago because it was going by so fast. We have our shower this month on the 18th and how much still needs to be purchased off the registry genuinely has me crashing out 😅 like how am I about to be 30 weeks already when just yesterday I was seeing his little heartbeat for the first time where did all of my time go 😭

Mine is due the 15th and I have nothing !!!!!

mine is due the 20th, he's my second boy so i just have to get the stuff out of storage but i don't wanna wash it all to have it sit in the dresser i want it to be fresh

I’m definitely in the same boat and due at the beginning of September. The time has seriously flown by and it feels like there’s still so much more that needs to be done.

Im due the 18th of September and feeling the same way 😭😭😭

Due the 8th of September and yes its all starting to hit me! I feel like this pregnancy has flown by and now ive only got weeks left 🙃 im so ready to meet her and be able to lay down comfortably again.

My doctor actually moved my due date from Sept. 1st to August 31st…so the pressure is for sure getting WORSAA!!

Yeah it’s a ton of work! 😭 when I was told I had to file stuff out for her social security and birth certificate and also the birth plan. I was freaking out! Now I have to wait till we get a new apartment too so I can set up all her stuff plus the baby shower is coming so soon 😭🫩 gotta decorate and plan! My goodness this is stressful! Plus I’m seeing a ton of September babies born June-July

Same here freaking out because we still need to get car seat and nursery set up

I feel it ladies. I'm due on the 23rd but I feel like she's going to come earlier than that. I was already washing some of her nb clothes the other day and hubby was like idk why you're jumping the gun lol. We have most things but really need diapers.

Anyone else having gallbladder attacks caring for a newborn?

Honestly I’m so sad that when I finally had that feeling like I can conquer the world of motherhood comfortably because I had an emergency c section I’m having gallbladder attacks!!! Like I just wanna be able to give the best care to my baby and I feel like I can’t because for one I overworked myself in the first 2 weeks of recovery taking care of my baby and now that I’m finally getting used to my body again this 💩 happens!! (Literally) now I’m going to have to have more help with him and I just hate it so much because I have the worst anxiety about him…

Guess!!

Question how many weeks do yall think I am?

‘failed’ GD test

I had my GD test last Monday, and found out Wednesday I’d failed. Fasting was fine, but 2hr was 8.3

First few days all my finger pricks were fine, and well within range, sitting closer to lower limits than upper.
But since yesterday breakfast every reading has been high, and I can’t make any sense of it. This morning is the first fasting reading that is high.
I’m basically eating the same food or a variation of.

I’m aware I’m not even a week in, but I feel like it’s knocked all my confidence with pregnancy.
I was anxious/nervous for the health of little one as it was, and this just feels like an uncontrollable/unpredictable whirlwind 🤯

Didn’t feel like there much help/support from the hospital when they diagnosed, literally given a glucose monitor and sent on my way, was there for less than 5 minutes and waiting for a follow up appt for a growth scan and to see a consultant, with no time frame given for it.
Locally the only maternity contact given is triage, and it doesn’t feel like the sort of thing to be contacting them with.

When do you find time

Previously I spent a lot of time working on my fitness and eating habits before getting pregnant. I’ve definitely let myself relax and enjoy pregnancy in a sense. A lot of my journey was because I wanted to get my PCOS symptoms under control so I could have a baby some day just didn’t think it would happen so soon. After you guys got cleared what time did you find worked the best for you? Pics at the gym pre pregnancy, I had lost 75lbs before finding out I was pregnant in February and I’ve gained at least 35lbs back 😭(technically like first weeks of pregnancy I didn’t know yet lol)

more babies?!

anyone else missing the newborn/pregnancy stages? i already want more babies, i didn’t think it would be this early lol but i get a little flutter in my stomach just thinking about it!

Mostly a rant

I’m still super early in my pregnancy, about 7 weeks (tomorrow lol) but I’ve already gotten a body pillow to get myself in the habit of sleeping on my side and sleeping with part of it between my thighs.
My husband will not stop complaining about how much space it takes up on the bed. It’s literally one of the ones that is basically just a long standard pillow.
Idk what he thinks is going to happen, especially the farther along I get. Like what is he going to say when I’m huge in the third trimester??
