So I’m now 10.5 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby. My 12 week scan is booked in for the week after next.
My first two children are twins a boy and girl so most people probably think we’re not going to have anymore. Also my daughter is SEN and non verbal at age 3. Our son had a speech delay but now is a very chatty toddler and has completely caught up 😊.
Anyway I’ve only told my mum and sister that I’m pregnant and no one else knows. I can’t help but feel we will get some negativity with announcing this one.
We don’t ask for help.. never ask for baby sitters. I stay at home with my twins and they go to nursery twice a week and my partner works full time. The only person who occasionally looks after the twins is my mum for the odd appointment and we are ok financially.
The older I get though the more bitter people seem to be in general which I don’t think is personal but people just seem like that these days. We did have some negativity with my twins which was odd as I was 30 and in a stable relationship 😅
How was it when you announced your 3rd? Did anyone else feel this way?

Not my 3rd but, my 2nd. First is non verbal (autistic) there are many people i still haven’t told for the same reasons😂 Only my mum & my partners mum know. We also never ask for help, in fact we decline help. We do great financially, but obviously there is the Immediate opinion that our hands will be full because of my sons needs, and that we should only give our time to him. I’m just not in the mood for the commentary really or the intrusive doubt, even if they mean well. Almost 18 weeks now😬 maybe i’ll announce it at Christmas 😆
Last night at about 3am I had a fall, I’m 29 weeks+2 days pregnant. Thankfully I didn’t land directly on my belly but I did land quite hard on my side. I’ve definitely bashed both my knees quite hard. I’m quite concerned because I don’t know what’s going on with the baby but I do have a scan today at the hospital so they should be able to see if there’s any problems there. Has anyone else fallen during their pregnancy? Have you had any problems because of it?

I am 39 weeks pregnant. Ive had a baby before but oh my God I'm so nervous about birth. I'm trying to be zen and all chill and just wait for baby to make their appearance. I feel more anxious than first time around. Does anyone have any words of affirmation? Or anything that really helped them. Thank you 😊

Has anyone else been diagnosed with polyhydramnios in the third trimester and told to rest more? How did you cope with the discomfort and stress, and were you put on bed rest or just encouraged to take it easy?

Where are people going on their babymoon? Is everyone doing it? I feel a bit anxious to go to another country and what if something goes wrong. 🤞
