I am 6 weeks into a 20 month age gap and I honestly love it. It’s so hard, but I am managing so much better than I thought I would. I have two girls and my first has adjusted really well. My second sleeps so much better than my first did as a newborn, so I think that is really helping. Can imagine it would be extremely hard if she didn’t sleep.
I found pregnancy with my toddler harder than juggling a newborn and a toddler (overall.. some days it’s not haha)😅
I do have alot of support too though, which also makes a huge difference! How are you feeling about it?

Mine are almost exactly two years apart. It’s not easy but pregnancy plus toddler exhaustion is so much worse than having two in my experience, so it does get better! Just try to get as much support as possible x

27 weeks and omg the pain!!!

This is my second pregnancy but I do not remember the pain being as bad as the first! Granted I am a single mother of a two year old and I am also working so that could be apart of the reason! I feel like it’s dragging y’all, I’m so ready for 39 weeks to be here!! And too meet my baby! Anyone else feeling the same?

Postpartum Body

Was anyone else as worried as I am about losing my pregnancy weight? My LO is 6 weeks . It seems so scary now that I won’t get back my flat stomach before pregnancy. It feels so weird when I dress to go outside. My confidence is so shattered 💔

Labor Q's

How hungry did y'all feel when you were laboring? I know fueling yourself well is crucial during that time. How large was your appetite while in labor? Did you feel like you could eat heavier or lighter foods? Hot versus cold? What did you crave and how often? Did you ever feel nauseous or throw up from a contraction? Or even faint or lightheaded?

I haven't given birth yet but I know how my body responds under stress or I get over heated, adrenaline, not much appetite, can get faint etc so I'm just curious how it was for you? It's hard to imagine for myself having a large appetite for anything heavy and I feel like I would be more peckish instead. I'm trying my best to know what to expect and plan for as the date approaches.

What foods worked well versus not so well? Any recommendations and tips are greatly appreciated! ☺️

Low blood pressure

Yesterday, I had a vasovagal episode. I experienced blurred vision, cold sweats and dizziness and I was very close to fainting because my blood pressure dropped considerably. I went to the maternity unit for a check up and the doctor mentioned that the episode was triggered by my position (standing up with my chin close to my chest) and that there was nothing to worry about. She recommended drinking electrolytes and resting.

I have always had low blood pressure, and I’m really concerned that this could affect my baby later on or even impact my labour experience.

Has anyone else dealt with low blood pressure during pregnancy or labour?

Giving birth!

Hey mamas! I been seeing so many different answers on tiktok so I wanted to ask here. For your first pregnancy when did you actually give birth or when did your water break? Or if you had it broke by the doctor. I’m just nosey but I also wanna be prepared when it happens to me lol. I’m 36 weeks tomorrow!
