Pregnant 🤰🏽

Hi! I’m pregnant with baby number 2. My first baby is only 15months old. I was ready for another baby which is why we started trying but I think it happened faster than I expected. And I’m feeling the mom guilt and currently sobbing knowing everything is going to change and it won’t just be my daughter and I anymore. And trying to soak everything up but also just exhausted. Please tell me all the words of wisdom or just that someone knows how I feel 😭

The best thing I did was give my son a brother. I swear he would have preferred sooner

Exactly where you are right now! I’m 3 weeks away from our 2nd and it feels so overwhelming to share my time with a new baby when I just adore where my 1st is at right now and want to soak it all in. You aren’t alone. Things will change but you’re still their mama and you will adjust great!! God made us for this!!

I’ve also heard more times than not your 1st is gonna need you more after baby because their needs are more emotional and easily met while newborn is feeding typically and diaper changes. You will have so much time🫶🏼

Pregnant… baby no2

I’ve just took a test and it’s a clear as day plus!!! My baby is 8 months old🥹 couldn’t stop crying when I took it! Makes so much sense now but really need a sit down with my partner and also to know I’m not alone. My sister in law is pregnant with baby no2 and the age gap will be about 18 months. Waiting to take a digital test too. Just feel weird🥹

Glucose Test

I went for a 32 week growth scan today because my previous baby was small at birth. Whilst baby’s growth looked fine, my fluid levels were measuring a bit high so they’ve booked me in for a glucose test next week. I feel quite anxious about it because I’ve heard the drink can make you feel really sick. I’m quite a nauseous person anyway - like I’m worried about how I’m going to manage the car sickness in the drive over to the hospital/ when having my blood taken if I haven’t eaten or drank something other than water in 10 hours.

Does anyone have any tips for keeping the drink down for the 2 hours? I’m already planning on bringing some ice water and a handheld fan

Pelvic Pain

I started having really bad pelvic pain that wouldn’t go away at 3:00 am this morning so we decided to head to labor and delivery. They tested me for a yeast infection and UTI, but all came back normal. They did a cervix check and said I’m dilated to a 1 but said to just watch and keep an eye on it and if I get contractions that keep coming to come back in. I’m still having some pelvic pressure tho and I hope it goes away soon. I had my first child at 34 weeks due to preeclampsia and I’m currently 34 weeks so I’m starting to get nervous! Let hope she stays in longer!

Poop

Is anyone else (I'm in the early first trimester 5 weeks) afraid to poop? I have IBS-C and I'm terrified of straining to go poop. I'm scared I'll confuse my body and loose my baby. Please tell me I'm not alone and maybe more importantly, that my baby is going to be fine

Pregnancy pillows

Hello, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow? It’s one to lie back on when I’m in bed. I’m so sick of all the big pillows I have in bed that take ages to set up and are not comfy x
