Hi all. It is my last Sunday on maternity leave. Feeling a lot of emotions. Especially since it was her 1st bday yesterday. I was so busy planning for that that I didn’t think about the last Sunday as well. I want to do something to commemorate the year I had at home with my loved baby. We’re both getting ready for the next steps! Did anyone do anything nice on your last Sunday together? And how did you get ready to look forward to work?

Wow. I wish I got a year. I only got 6 weeks.

On my last maternity leave which coincided with Lo's birthday we did a special breakfast, his favourite pancakes with blue coloured frosting/cream, we went for parks and soft play at the baby café. I also put together a video compilation of the first year together with all the cute moments, people who came to meet him, his milestones captured on camera etc. which one day we will show him 🩷🩷

I had an abortion this year in may as i couldn't mentally handle another pregnancy but i had complications with it... i had the abortion as i lost my son exactly a year prior, before him i had numerous miscarriages and im honestly terrified im gonna end up losing this one too or wont be able to handle having another baby since losing him too.. ive been testing 3/4x daily since I found out and panicking over the smallest things: twinges, slight cramps, symtpoms changing, not "feeling" pregnant etc and its honestly driving me nuts... anyone got advice to help calm my anxiety down about it??

Hi mamas! Baby is 5 months today… wondering what your typical schedules look like as far as day naps and night routines, wakings, bedtimes, etc. I know every baby is different, just curious how it’s going for everyone else. I deleted social media because I found that was not at all my reality lol, so want to hear from real moms :)

How did you plan out what KIT/SPLIT days to take? I’m doing the first two inset days but feel like I’m going to be a spare part 🙈😂 I go back in April 2027!

Came back a 176. So bummed bc I eat well and my A1C is always good but I know that doesn’t really matter with GD. I just don’t want to be stuck there for 3 hours on my day off.
