What made you decide you were done having kids.

I have a 2 year old and I'm currently pregnant. She threw the biggest tantrum today.

I'm sitting here laughing to myself, thinking I will have to go through this terrible 2 phase with the next one.

I thought I wanted more kids. But defo think I'm done after 2.

I don't understand how mothers don't loose there sanity. I grew up in a big family, loads of kids. But this is not for the weak. Haha

I have an 11 year old, 3 year old and 5 month old. We knew when trying for the 3rd we were done after 3.
That hasn't changed a hormonal pre teen, toddler and newborn are killing me off 😴

When I think about our family it feels finished. When I try imagine another baby in the mix it doesn't feel right.

One and done for me.

Because I know my limits and these 2 are my absolute world but most days I’m absolutely maxed out. It wouldn’t be fair on them to stretch myself even further.

Hi all

Hi everyone I’m new here, I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant with my little surprise 🙈. I also have a 4 year old little girl, It took us 2 years to conceive her. So it was a little shock to pregnant again 😂. In also 38 so id accepted that my 4 year old would be our only 1, and tbh I thought I was getting to the peri menopausal stage (obviously not). Don’t get me wrong this baby is very much wanted and already very loved. It was just a surprise that’s all.
Has any one else had a little surprise? Or has it taken you a long time to conceive? I’ve been in both positions so I will understand what ever. Xx

Anxiety

I’ve been excited and felt ready to meet my baby the past few weeks but as my due date approaches (currently 39+1) I all of a sudden feel extremely anxious about giving birth and having a baby. Anyone else? Is this normal?

Trying to stay positive

Hi I’m a first time mom and I’m absolutely miserable, my stomach hurts a lot and my obgyn said that my stomach is going to stay this size while pregnant, it’s very small and baby doesn’t have enough room , I just want to cry because sometimes it’s painful . I’m so close to the end I’m due August 7th

37 weeks tomorrow 🤰

Cramping sooo bad... I’ve already had 2 false alarms in the past 3 weeks for contractions lasting longer than an hour. I just have a really weird feeling though, something feels off, which is the same feeling I had the day before I went into labor with my second baby (at 39w2d).

Baby girl was measuring about a week ahead at my growth ultrasound (which my Dr said since I didn’t have my first ultrasound til 12 weeks, andI ovulated 5 days early, it’s very possible I’m 3-7 days farther than they think so maybe??)

As DONE as I am, I’d love to make it to 39-40 weeks, because we still have several things to get done! 🫠
