2nd child and feeling huge

I am 12m post partum with my little boy, and recently found out I am pregnant with my 2nd (due 11th May).
Anyone else in similar situation and feeling like they look huge already!?
I have compared my bump size to photos of my 1st pregnancy (I am 11kg lighter since then too) and I look more along the 16w mark, not the 7w mark.
I had an early pregnancy scan to confirm dates too, so know im not further along.
Feeling very blessed to have got pregnant naturally too this time, as last time was a very hard fertility journey.

NIPT test results time 🙏

I’d love some uk feedback on results time. We was called in for NIPT Harmony last week and had the test on Tuesday. The results take 7-10 days but the nurse said they go to Germany and there super efficient so she would expect to get them back possibly today. Has anyone else got results in 6-7 days. I’m making myself ill worrying and barely sleeping

scared

Is anyone else getting more scared as they get closer to due date? I don’t mean scared of birth, I’m actually quite excited for that. But I mean scared something is going to go wrong before I reach birth.

this is my first baby and my whole pregnancy I’ve had NO complications, it feels too good to be true. now everyday that goes by I’m worrying “everything’s been so perfect somethings bound to go wrong”. and I just keep worrying about the WORST scenarios. it’s sending my anxiety through the roof.
I just can’t believe this is real life and I’m really about to have a baby in my arms. It’s so bittersweet but feels too good too be true.

I just want him out of me already so this anxiety can go away and I know everything is fine.

anyone else?

Feeling all the emotions - c section is tomorrow!

Second pregnancy - third baby! Just feeling all the emotions at the moment as I’ve got my beautiful twin girls already and I am more thinking about them than my baby boy who is going to be born tomorrow! Also worried about my recovery and the c-section itself as there is more at risk.

Really hope that these sad feelings go and I feel happy and excited for the girls to have a new baby brother. Not sure why I’m posting.

Is anyone having their c section soon? Or has the same feelings? Xx

Is anyone else just done with pregnancy now?

34 weeks tomorrow and just ready for this baby to be evicted! I never struggled in my last pregnancy but this time everything seems to be going wrong 😩 I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism a few weeks ago and my anxiety is sky high and I just can’t breathe especially with a big boy pressing on my lungs 🤦🏼‍♀️ Please tell me I am not the only one who is done😭

Insanely heavy periods

Apologies that this post is TMI but I dont know what to do. I've got two daughters who are 2 and a half and nearly 10 months. I've always had really heavy periods since I started at 12, I'm now 29.

After my first daughter was born, I bled every day for 6 months, had a load of hospital tests, scans, blood tests, nothing was ever picked up. I'm incredibly anemic, my ferritin level recently was 6, I was put on iron tablets that are 210mg but they aren't working. I feel really weak, constantly exhausted, dizzy, no appetite and for heavy periods all I get given by the GP is tranexamic acid tablets which help to slow it down. The consultant also said this after my first daughter qas born.

The GP just doesn't care and said they aren't doing my bloods again until November. I can't go to A&E when I've 2 kids to look after and my partner works full time and none of our family live near us. Has anyone been through similar? What was the outcome?

Been a while

I’m almost 21 weeks, haven’t posted since I was like 6-8? I’m having a baby girl!!!!! Who else?
