Hitting 40 weeks with 2nd baby

Hi moms! Maybe this is silly but I’m a classic overthinker and just looking for advice. I had my first girl at 39+1 and am currently at my due date with my second! Everything I’ve read says typically the second comes a little earlier. Not a big deal she didn’t but now I’m seeing all sorts of things at how going passed 40 weeks is risky. My induction date isn’t until 41weeks. I’m starting to worry about what could go wrong and why this one is taking so much longer! Has anyone else had this happen?

My first was 38+5 my second (twins) 36+4
My third was an induction at 39+1 everything was okay
Every pregnancy is different I’m sure they are still monitoring you until your induction. I’m also an overthinker so I get it try and relax and tell yourself everything is okay

Anyone else just really uncomfortable 🤣?

I’m 33 weeks tomorrow, I’m all baby/bump and I just feel so squished, the right side of my ribs are so uncomfortable I can’t sit in any position comfortably. And now my right side of my lower back into my butt and right leg has started 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

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 🥹🥹🎉

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 😅
