Birth prep

Second baby and I have done nothing to prepare for birth mainly just because of running around after my toddler but as the date gets closer I’m worrying as I feel like I should be doing more. What are we all doing to prepare? Tips and tricks welcome! Also worrying as it’ll be my first time leaving my toddler for long and presumably overnight :(

I am in the exact same
boat as you! Still working, running around after 2 and a half year old & not really done anything 🫠

I’m in the same boat but I genuinely believe that all the running around after a toddler is prep in itself! There’s no one more active than a toddler mama! I’ll honestly be surprised if this baby doesn’t fly out because of how much running around after my little girl I do, birth will actually feel like rest at this point 😂

This! Having the baby in 5 weeks! My son is 3 in 6 weeks! I'm so unprepared 😂

When to be ready for?!

31 weeks tomorrow and wondering when is everyone putting up the big things like next to me crib and I ram etc. This is my third baby and my last one came spontaneously at 36+6 so want to be prepared for an earlier arrival but don’t want the stuff sat around the house for weeks for no reason 😩

Breathlessness worth a triage call?

Im 31 weeks today have been getting out of breath for a good few weeks now. Today though I was at work today really struggling to breathe to the point it made me cry a little. The smallest tasks and im panting. I know im pregnant and this is normal, not that I had this with my last pregnancy, is it worth a call to triage I dont want to waste their time but im struggling

Related pregnancy

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and experiencing severe itching all over my body. The itching makes me scratch a lot, and now I have brown pigmented spots where I’ve scratched. I’m really stressed and worried about whether these marks will go away. Has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy?
