Am I over reacting? 6 days pp

Literally bawling my eyes out. I've been so caught up in everything that I just realized that even though we told every nurse that I wanted to keep her clamp with her umbilical cord they threw it away. I told them they could have my placenta and whatever I didn't care but I wanted that clamp. My heart hurts so bad. I've been crying for hours.

I’d be upset too!! You’re freshly postpartum and it’s one of those things mums just love to keep! Totally valid to be upset but try not to dwell on it too much, maybe doing another kind of newborn keepsake will make you feel a little better?

Your baby doesn’t have the clamp ? It usually comes off around 10-15 days of life. I am sorry that happened to you. I’m just confused

Little rant 😕

Is anyone else feeling emotional/mental pressure now that their due date is lingering?
I’m due on Friday and really didn’t anticipate the guilt I’d feel when I hear family/friends say things like “oh come on baby where are you?!”, always with an air of exasperation 😕
Like I’m sorry that I’m not producing your child/grandchild/child’s play mate any quicker but these people think THEY’RE exhausted with waiting?

I can’t believe how much this is bugging me but it’s a weird pressure that I really didn’t expect 😣

Combined Screening Test

Has anyone had their combined screening test results through? Just curious how long it took for the results to show on your badger app? x

Anxiety help

Had major bloating, big boobs, severe nausea last week and now nothing. Took a test this morning trying to get a 3+ and still only got 2-3 but my line tests are dark but not as dark as the test line. I can’t help but feel impending doom even though I know this happens and is normal for symptoms to fluctuate as this is my second pregnancy but the anxiety still isn’t any bloody better. 5+5 today, is anyone else the same?
