Advice, thoughts, or anything!

Hey all! I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with my second boy. I had my first 5 weeks early at 35 weeks. When I had my OB appointment today she stated that they are going to be doing ultrasounds every two weeks to check my the length of my cervix to make sure we can make it to 35-36 weeks. She also prescribed me a baby aspirin daily to help lower the risk of preeclampsia since I had high blood pressure during labor and for 2 weeks postpartum the first time. I am mentally freaking out and would like to hear anyone else’s thoughts, advice, story, or basically anything!
Thank you!!

Constant worry

Anyone else just constantly worried something bad is going to happen or something is going to be wrong with their baby? I am always thinking of the worst! My partner reminds me baby is happy and healthy and there’s nothing wrong but sometimes I just get overwhelmed and feel scared, I am always checking her! Someone tell me this passes - she is 12 days old

Birth guilt

Does anyone else feel a sense of birth guilt for their baby on how their baby was bought into the world? I planned on having a “natural” birth and ended up with an emergency c section but looking back 4 weeks later at how it all happened, I feel like my autonomy was taken away and maybe I felt slightly pressured into interventions by my partner and the midwifery team that ended up with the c section happening. After a slow labour, my progress stalled and the hormone drop was recommended - we didn’t get to this stage because after the epidural was put in, babies heart rate plummeted and I spiked a temperature. I just can’t help but wonder if I just trusted my body a bit more would it all have been ok?! It’s so annoying thinking like this as I know I can’t change it, I just keep looking at my baby and feeling so sad and hoping the way he was birthed won’t affect him. For context he wasn’t breathing when he was born as he was in shock and swallowed loads of Meconium so had to be resuscitated (it wasn’t long enough for any further care, they seemed happy with his scores after 5 mins but it still makes me sad). For the first couple of weeks I was making peace with the fact it didn’t go to plan as he is with us and seemingly ok, but as time is going on I find myself feeling worse and feeling so anxious about his development and brain and health and I know it’s all overthinking but it’s hard. Anyone else have similar feelings/experiences? Or anyone else have a traumatic birth for the baby and have positive stories on how they are now thriving? Sorry for the essay just wanted to put my feelings out somewhere x

Apparently I’m to Fat

My ob quit so I had to get a new doctor. Today was the 1st appointment & he asked me my pre-pregnancy weight which was 165 and I now weigh 192 at 29 weeks. Guys the doctor wants me to stop eating bread, pasta, juice, icecream + more to slow my weight gain. For context I’m not high risk and everything is normal. I don’t want do it😭😭😭 Food is one of the only things I’ve still been enjoying pregnant

Am I going insane for already wanting a second baby?!

My body feels fully healed and my body is craving another baby biologically!

I know it is not the best economical timing nor the best timing spacewise when we live in a 2-bed but part of me is urging for another child

I absolutely hated being pregnant and I am not looking forward to it whenever we decide to have our second baby - but my biological clock and my own baby makes me say; YUP, COME ON GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE!

Does anyone else have this at 6 months postpartum? 😂 best way I can describe it is like when I was addicted to smoking and craved a cigarette (horrible comparison but it is the best way I can describe it)

I’m not readyyyyy

I’m not ready for my baby to be one 😫😫😫 this is such a bittersweet feeling 😢 I keep tearing up each time I think about it and plan for her party 😔
