Brain fog and dates
I've been saying the baby is due in 6 weeks. I woke up today with the whole realisation is 4 weeks.
ImSo now I'm panicking thinking I have absolutely nothing. Will be running out this weekend for the buggy, Sterlizer, bottles etc. Basically everything.
If you have 4 weeks to go are you prepared?

Statistically its more like to be 5 or so weeks! Dont panic. Remember nowadays most things can be gotten the next day
I had that feeling 2 weeks ago too, woke up at 2 am and stayed up till 5 panicking. I was due in 6 weeks then. I was up ordering things online etc and now I’m 4 weeks away and slowly getting more things ready. Don’t worry mama, no rush, we still have time xx
Honestly you’re best having 6 weeks in your head 😅 dates after ‘due date’ can be very long 🫠
I wouldn’t panic, if it’s your first baby you’ll likely go overdue. However, that’s not always the case so best to be prepared. You have plenty of time to get what you need, most things can be ordered online for next day delivery, or if you’d prefer to buy in person you can get most things in one store :) enjoy it and try not to stress!
4 weeks is still plenty of time to slowly get things organised but I would say at the very least sort your hospital bag, my first was 3 weeks early and I wasn’t prepared.. had my mum running round asda grabbing all sorts for me. I have 5 weeks til due date this time round and my bag has been packed for about 3 weeks, all baby clothes washed, dried & put away.. all I need to do is collect the pram and make up his next to me. I finish work on Saturday so will sort these things then. Would like to batch cook a couple of meals too but not putting myself under too much pressure for that 😌
Im being induced today and was packing my bag til midnight. Second baby so a lot calmer this time round with what's needed. Shops aren't far if you need someone to grab something :) c

Potentially coming early?
33 weeks, due October 12th but they are saying my stomach and her head/body are measuring October 4th, weighing 4lbs 10 ozs. Are these things usually accurate? Shes also my third so wonder if that will factor in coming early or not.

Little worried
Have had some brown discharge since the weekend after me and my partner got intimate in the afternoon shortly afterwards. So to say it still comes and goes but very little not a lot only when i wipe . I have a ultrasound appointment tomorrow and i am just hoping for good news. And to hear the baby growing and to hear the heartbeat a bit better this time. As i somewhat heard it but it was faint- that was last week.

Birthday vent 🙄
It’s my birthday today ! 🥺🎂 and honestly, I’m feeling a little sad. I don’t really have anybody to hang out with, and I don’t have the money to go do anything, so it just feels like another regular day. I’m grateful to be here, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. Just venting today.
