When to buy things

So this is my first baby, im so excited to go start buying everything!
I'm 21 weeks, and in my head it's too soon but I'm also stressing about leaving everything too late.
The reason it's too soon is bacause
1. I don't know what I'm doing, I might buy the wrong things and then can't return them
2. I feel like I'm tempting fate, like something bad will happen
3. I don't know what other people are going to buy for her

Do other people think like this?! 😅

My baby girl is here!

She arrived yesterday, 15th August 2026 via c-section due to baby being breech. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Good luck to all the rest of you that is going to have an August 2026 baby! Also thank you to everyone that has commented, gave me advice on previous posts that I've put on here..

34 weeks today!

I’m 34 weeks today and soooo over being pregnant 😭 obviously I want her to finish cooking but god I am miserable 😩

Birth 11 days overdue

Posting this to give the overdue girlies some hope!
I was on the list for induction from 10 days overdue. They called at 9 and 10 days, I declined going in both times. I went into labour spontaneously at 41+3 and had my baby boy 12 hours later at 41+4 (born on the day of the solar eclipse and meteor shower - so special). I had started to lose hope because I had my daughter spontaneously at 40+4 in October 2023, but ultimately I trusted my body to bring him earth side when the time was right 🤍 you’ve got this girls.

Maternity triage / midwife pushback

If feel like every time I’ve called they just push back, I called today after my sister who is a nurse told me contact the maternity so that they could monitor my blood pressure as I put up 1.6kg in 6days and that’s quite a lot for me compare to my normal weight gain so far as I’ve put 12kg total since pregnant (now 36+5).

So I called and the person I got on the phone said they ignore weight gain completely as it’s not an indicator of anything, she didn’t ask me about any other symptoms either and when I said if I was to put up another 1kg in 3 days should I worry, she said no they don’t need to know about it…

They always said to call if we have questions or worries but then every time I’ve called they don’t want to hear about it.

Also baby is already estimated to be 80th percentile before that weight intake.

How do you know when the right time is for the 2nd baby?

I’m 9.5 months pp (emergency c section) & will turn 35 in a few days. I’ve always wanted to my baby to have a sibling. We’re still surviving each day 😂 when to start trying? Im thinking maybe soon but also is it too soon? Will having 2 under 2 be really hard? Anyone willing to share their experiences/thoughts?

How did you announce your pregnancy?

I’m looking for cute ideas! This is my last pregnancy, and I want to make the announcement in a cute, creative way that I can remember. My first one wasn’t well thought out, and I kept my second baby secret until the day he was born lol. So I want to remember this one. Give me your ideas. 💖💙
