Is the heat making everyone give birth early?!

I feel like everyone is having their August babies early! I don’t even have my hospital bags packed?

If this perception is just based on this group, it's a biased selection as those who are having more trouble/problems would be more likely to seek extra support or post about their experiences. Healthy and less complicated pregnancies would be underrepresented.

Opposite for me! I have everything done and ready for my baby and he’s being stubborn I swear he’s making me wait the full 40 weeks. I’m due August 11th

Owlet sock, is it worth it?

I’m halfway through my pregnancy and have seen loads of mixed emotions on the owlet sock, as it’s so spenny is it worth it?

Anyone else feeling uncomfortable already 🙃

I’m 30 weeks today and I’m just exhausted. My bump feels massive, I’m out of breath all the time. Not sure if it’s cause this time I’m running around after a toddler but it’s so much harder second time around

Down 30 lbs, but feeling discouraged...

I have lost 32.4 lbs since really trying to focus on my health. I'm proud of this change, but I've recently received some discouraging words from my mother. I mentioned the weight loss to my mom and her response was, "I didn't even notice. You'd think 30 lbs would be enough to start to make a dent." She also talked about how I've lost weight before and I just let myself go again and get fat again. (I did lose 100 lbs about 5 years ago, and unfortunately I did gain some of it back when having my son and with 4 other pregnancies all ending in miscarriages.) My mom has always been my biggest critic, so I'm trying to not let it get to me, but I hear those words in my head constantly and I am starting to feel discouraged. I logically know there is a difference. I have gone down 2 pant sizes. My husband tells me he has seen a huge difference not only looking at me, but also in my energy level. My doctor is happy with my progress and for the first time in years, my blood pressure is normal, which he credits to the weight loss and life style changes. I can even see a difference when looking in the mirror, but I now can't look into the mirror without hearing her words. I guess I just need some support and encouragement and want to know how you all don't let the harsh words and negativity of others get to you. Any advice? I just don't want to let her win and give up on myself like I have in the past...
