Pregnant!!!

I’m so nervous but so happy at the same time, anyone got any advice on how to tell my mum? I’m nearly 23 but I know she isn’t going to take this well. It’s what’s making me so nervous at the moment if I’m being honest

I was 23 when I had my first baby. It's your life not hers x

A baby is a blessing

Congratulations girl!! Maybe ask chat gbt to write you up a meaningful message send and hide lol. Im sure she'll come round remeber your still her baby! 🤍

Remember how you feel about the news when you tell her, it can be difficult people can react strangely to happy news! My partners mum was happy for us but her face said otherwise😂 just remember how you and your partner feel about it and don’t let it cloud your excitement. Congratulations💞

Same age with my first and i wasn’t sure what to do so one morning before she left to work i told my mom i had something to tell her and when i did she thought it was me telling her my brother was having another kid and i laughed and said no it’s me .
She was happy and then outta everyone told her for this second pregnancy before i tell the rest of the grandparents

How soon is too soon to announce?

Hey! I’d love to hear when others announced their pregnancy! So it’s something we’re super excited about and sadly we lost twins back in June. Due to the nature of my job I’m seeing clients regularly and I’m extremely bloated (looking about 5 months already 🤣) I’m trying to hide it but clothes are too tight and it’s showing big time which people are now asking questions. (Yes, my lot don’t hold back!) we’re really proud and actually would love to shout it to the world but also feel we’d be frowned upon as it’s so early. I’d love to hear your journeys and announcements and if this bloating has happened to others!

Why am i more nervous this time than my 2 previous pregnancies? Its like its my 1st time giving birth and its my 3rd! I dunno if its cause people keep saying baby will be early this time but ive only got 1 week left anyway or what. Ive had no signs besides lower back ache, even braxton hicks have eased off. Im just super tired all the time! Im almost scared to go into labour and i dont know why! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you prepare your body and did it help?

I’m curious if anyone who had preeclampsia, or more specifically HELLP syndrome, with their first pregnancy had it with their second pregnancy. If not, did you do anything different the second time around to help prevent it? Were you close to or over the age of 35?

Also, as a bonus question, if anyone also went through their placenta giving up early on them and getting induced, was your second the same?

My little guy was IUGR and I had HELLP Syndrome pretty bad. It truly was not a fun time. I realize there’s no rhyme or reason for what causes these things but we’re in the stages of wanting to try for a second and if there’s anything I can do to help prevent either of those things from happening, I’m down. We’re not the youngest parents, which I know doesn’t help, but we eat alright and stay pretty active. We will double down on those things if we have to though! lol

Thanks in advance! 🫶🏻

First baby

Hey guys 🥰 I’m due in less than 2 weeks and I am so nervous. This is my first baby and I’m constantly thinking about how the birth is going to go. Please if you’ve had a positive labor experience and was really nervous before can you share your story and advice 🥰

2nd Pregnancy

I've noticed so many differences with this one versus my 1st pregnancy. This one's way more picky for starters and lazy. Plus I've had to deal with the realization that this one I'll have to deal with much more complicated things.
