I am beyond elated to have my baby but since I was not lucky enough to have a supportive sperm donor, I have been going through this entire experience all by myself.
To the point where I feel like I am not enjoying any of the milestones and just going through the motions…

I’m also going through it alone. I’m trying to experience as much of the joys as possible but it has required me to step out of my comfort zone and ask for help. It comes with risking rejection. I asked friends to host the baby showers, asked my nieces to do a gender reveal, and lean on guy friends for more vulnerable conversations.

Def have the friend throw you a shower!! Single moms need one more.

Have fun with it! We’re doing a French Bebe theme. I made a pinterist board. :)
Is anyone else setting up baby stuff yet or not I have this urge too but also it’s early ?? 😂

Is anyone else so emotional about the babies gonna be 1 cos I’m an emotional mess my baby boy is 1 on the 17th and he wil be my last baby and I just want to keep him a baby as long as I can but this year has just went by too fast. I also had a traumatic experience with he’s birth and complications after it I think as it coming close to year it’s bringing back a lot of emotions x

Hey ladies, looking for some advice.
I was already plus size (actively losing weight) before pregnancy so I’m already belly heavy however since I’ve reached 18 weeks my belly feels so heavy and I’m already starting to show
Finding it hard when I’m walking for a certain length of time now (nothing crazy) - my belly feels so heavy and it’s getting me out of breath. Is there anything I can do to help ease this?
I’ve ordered a pregnancy support band in hopes this will help but me and my partner are going to USA end of this month when I’ll be 21 weeks and it’ll entail quite a bit of walking (again nothing crazy but walking around the parks with plenty of sitting breaks etc)
