Any tips?

Just found out I'm pregnant with baby no 3! My 2nd is only 5 months old, she'll be about a year old when no 3 is born! Any tips? Things to buy that helped lots?
I'm excited, but very scared. We don't have a 'village' near by to help so will be on my own while my partner is at work

It can be tricky at first while you’re getting into the routine of it but once you start to really know your newborns habits and schedule, it gets easier. Just try to remind yourself that the 1 year old is still a baby too just with different needs. My kids are now 1 and 2 and they are now playing together and I feel like I can finally breathe a little lol

Congratulations! I was in your shoes last year with a 13month difference between th younger 2! It's scary but you'l find your grove with it! We said we wouldn't need a double stroller and then tiny became massive and baby wearing got too heavy so we caved and got a stroller and low n behold... Neither of them sit in it 😂😞😂😞 we didn't buy anything new till we needed it, we just went with th flow of it all!

What’s one thing your excited to have after birth? 😍

I’ve told my husband I want a steak dinner and maybe a cider or rosé 😍

First period since baby

I’ve got my first period back already and the bleeding is so heavy. This happened with my first but I just want to see if this has happened to anyone else too?

Pregnancy and anxiety

Has anyone else noticed a heightening of general anxiety since becoming pregnant? Feeling like I’ve started to loose my mind since becoming pregnant. I suffer from really bad sickness and still at 20 weeks I’m dependent on anti sickness meds. Don’t know if that’s playing a part but wondered if anyone else is feeling a little crazy? 😅😂 xx

Might be pregnant - could I have a natural birth?

Im 22m pp and I think i might be pregnant. I know they give u an 18m grace period for it to be safe to get pregnant but my question is, can I still have a natural birth or will I be a high risk pregnancy?

Will they push me to go c section?

I haven't been massaging my scar that much or regularly. Will that affect it?

I'm asking you mums because who else is better than chatGPT (i refuse to even touch ai).

anything else i should be wary about..

Also I havent checked yet because I want to wait as long as possible before I find out. I dont want others inc husband to know yet but I know that if I find out then I can't keep it in and have to twll him
