Surprise 2 under 2

Our first LO was a surprise as we thought we couldn’t conceive naturally and now an even bigger surprise - I’m pregnant again and my head is going crazy!! I feel super blessed and lucky that we’ve had two miracles (I know what so many women have to go through) but I’m so overwhelmed right now. My first is still waking multiple times a night and needing to come into our bed from around 3 am. I also can’t imagine not being able to give her all my attention when she’s still so little! But I also know that my babies will grow until so close and hopefully have an amazing relationship in the future. Are there any other 2 under 2 mums (or mums to be) out there who can offer some words of wisdom?

Urgent

Did any of your doctor suggest low dose Aspirin during pregnancy saying you might prevent preeclampsia as your father have BP and your age is 35????

Baby drop?!

This morning breathing got so much easier. On the other hand I'm having to pee more, my sciatic pain has increased a great deal and there is a new weight on my pelvic floor. I'm not supposed to be due until September 25th and this is my second baby. The drop is supposed to happen 2-4 weeks ahead of labor with your first baby but not until labor with subsequent babies. I'm definitely not in labor but I'm very worried.

Positive pregnancy test today!

Ahh anyone else with a Nov 2025 baby find out they’re pregnant again yet? Both excited and very nervous for a 17 month age gap… if anyone has experiences with that age gap would love to hear 😅 Part of me also feels sad as my current baby still feels so young, it’s crazy for me to picture her as a big sister already.

Something to look forward to…

Is anyone else just really looking forward to being able to see their vagina again? To be able to shave properly / tackle an ingrown hair. I can’t wait 😂😂😂

Feeling judged

This is my first pregnancy after a long IVF journey and I am finding it really hard with all the negative comments about being a parent and having babies by people at work. I also have a heart condition so I am going to the hospital more and I feel the horrible comments about all of my appointments which are not wanted or asked for. I am now not talking about my pregnancy at work and want to sit somewhere else for the rest of my time at work as it's bringing me down. I already have so much anxiety about birth and the baby due to my heart I feel I am not enjoying my pregnancy at all. What would you do about the girls at work I am just becoming sick of hearing it.
