Baby #2 On the Way!!🥳

Hello beautiful people! I wanted to come on here and celebrate with you as I just found out yesterday that I’m pregnant. It’s very early (4weeks+2) but I just had to share this exciting news because honestly it’s not a lot of people in my personal life I even wanna tell. My friends want to remain childfree (which is totally fine) but they weren’t very happy or excited about my first pregnancy.
Most of my family won’t be excited because they don’t like that me and my partner don’t want to get married right now and they believe in more “traditional ways” of doing things. So at least I have my partner and you guys to be excited with me! My son will be 3 when baby is born and I’m so excited for him to be a big brother 🥹🥹🎉

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!

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

3 mo 3 weeks, its a hard stage!

Surprised by how full on this stage is compared to earlier, I thought I had no time then but now it's really zero 😅 Baby not sleeping well, can't entertain himself for more than ten minutes before needing picked up, napping only on me... Just looking to hear others experience. So tired 😅

Nervous

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Baby moment

I am currently 23+ 6 pregnant and today i am not feeling my bby moment as much as i was since last 2 weeks and i have placenta on the back so my mid wife said you feel bit late the moment but last 2 weeks baby was very active just today it’s very less active is it normal please help i am feeling very anxious

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! 🫶🏻
