Maternity Bucket List

I go back to work at the end of April and don't want to feel like I haven't made the most of my time off. I'm looking for suggestions for must do activities. My LO is 17 weeks. Thanks

I think at 17 weeks you can honestly just soak up the time with them as its so precious and it'll never come back. Contact nap and watch your fave show, meet other mums for coffee, wear them and dance around at home. Just soak up them being a little tiny bubba!
To get out i really enjoyed baby yoga and wish I had done baby massage. Baby yoga was a class I felt like was actually more for me than for her! If I did first time again, i'd baby wear and go hiking but thats just my preference of things to do. Also take lots of photos and videos of the two of you together at home just singing on the floor or whatever. Enjoy it x

Here's mine:
Swimming
Make baby safe hand and foot prints for cards/keepsakes
Baby club cinema
Complete life admin overhaul
Scrapbook of first year by month

Not too exciting but I'm in 2/9 months so hopefully will get some more ideas added!

In terms of going out, once baby got to 6 months he seemed to be so much more interested. Baby sensory classes and the aquarium were his favourites for us.

Baby sensory classes
Baby massage classes
Baby swimming
Local mum and baby coffee groups
Local library baby groups

These are some of the things I enjoyed with my 1st and hoping to do with my 2nd. Some can be free, others can be on the pricey side. For your local mum coffee groups, reach out on your local Facebook groups. Wishing you a joyous motherhood 🥰

Ok ladies... Let's talk panties lol.

I am honestly sick and tired of tampons and pads. 🤣🤣 When wearing a pad I feel like it's moving and I'm getting my underwear messy. When I wear tampons if it's not in correctly it's horrible, if I'm not bleeding enough it feels horrible or when I'm not in the mood it feels horrible. And both make me feel icky so I've been thinking of trying period panties. What's everyone's thoughts on this one? And then if you do use them . TELL ME HOW THEY WORK! LOL Do I wear one all day or do I need to change it a couple times. What do y'all do? 🫣😄😜

No sex during pregnancy

I’m 12 weeks pregnant and horny as hell 😭 My baby’s father and I broke up, but I don’t want to sleep with anyone else while I’m pregnant. It just doesn’t feel right for me, especially when I’m not in a relationship with them.

Part of me wants to reach out to my baby’s father just for sex, but I’m worried that would pull me back into something emotionally messy. I also heard that going without sex during pregnancy could make you more likely to tear during labor. Is that even true?

Has anyone else been in this position? What did you do?

Are there any REAL people on here?!

Seems I keep finding "fake" people looking for friends cause everytime I think I've maybe found one, they POOF disappear......

ISO : Genuine, truthful, no bullshit friends that I can message, text, video call, etc if need be. Someone who will listen and wanna be a part of my life and bring me into theirs. I would love someone local so we could go try new places, go on adventures, have playdates, and actually hang but I'm not opposed to being able to chat and video someone long distance (my best friend lives in Florida and we have never met IRL) so if you fit the mold and wanna go get tattooed, feel free to comment your favorite color, movie, and what your favorite picture of me and part about my about me section was (that way i know you're no bullshit). Here's to hoping I hear from someone! 🤞🤞

GBS POSITIVE

Tested positive for gbs, did anyone decide to decline the antibiotics? What was your experience after delivery? How long did they have you stay?
