Does the date you had your 1st baby impact your due date for your second?

For context, I was 38 weeks with my first, so I’m curious whether I should expect the same this time around? Or is there actually nothing behind it? Just wondering if anyone who’s been through it before knows! Thanks 😊

I was always told that they get earlier. But apparently not…
First - 39
Second - 36+6
Third - 38 and still pregnant 🫠

Twins & High Risk Anxiety

For any twin mums/mums-to-be - how are you dealing with the constant reminders of being high risk and all of the scary things that could happen?

I’ve had my first consultant appointment and growth scan today. All looks really good from the scan but the consultant appointment afterwards really took allllll of the reassurance away, with the long list of things that could happen and ‘to be aware of’.

I know the worry likely won’t go until they’re safely here, but how are you coping with the constant worry/scary reminders? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated 🩷

First joint after baby 😂

My bf has made me the tiniest joint now that I’m finally not pregnant anymore and laaawd… just walking into the room after he had a bong took me away a bit. Good job he did make it so small lmao

Getting emotional as our baby is turning 1

As I wrap his presents and preparing for his upcoming birthday, I got so emotional thinking how much things have changed over the past 11 months. It has been such a roller coaster ride! It’s infuriating but humbling in ways I never could have imagined before babies! Well done to all mama for surviving this journey!

Pregnant again with a 9 month old…🥹❤️

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again and I currently have a 9-month-old 🥺❤️

I have such mixed emotions. I’m happy, shocked, scared and honestly overwhelmed. I never expected to be pregnant again so soon and I’m struggling to know what’s best for me, my little one and the new baby.

For mums who have had babies close together, how did you find it? Was it as difficult as you imagined, or did you adjust better than you expected?

I’d really love to hear your experiences, especially from mums who had around 12–18 months between their babies. ❤️
