Happy mama to be
So I found out I was pregnant this morning and I’m abit shocked because this wasn’t a planned baby but still a lovely surprise 🥰 how did anyone who’s got 2 children find the transition?

Congratulations! 🥰 personally I found the transition from 1-2 way easier than 0-1
Honestly, 1-2 was really tough for me. It was my older child’s behaviour that was the most difficult thing. I’m nearly 11 months in and it’s finally getting easier again. There are so many lovely moments though. It’s so amazing watching your oldest become a big sibling and you soak up all the baby time so much more second time around. Your heart grows. Just give your oldest the biggest cuddle ever before you leave to have baby, as when you come back they will feel like a giant. Congrats!

Fear of giving birth
Hello everyone. This may sound extremely silly as I’m 35 weeks and it’s too late now but all of a sudden I have an overwhelming fear of giving birth , my mum laboured fast with me and my brother ( 3 hours from the first contraction to having him & 1 hour from the first contraction to having me )
I am utterly terrified I am 100% set on an epidural but if I labour fast like her by the time we get to hospital sit and wait to be assessed, wait for labour ward , wait for the doctor to be free ect ect . There mayyy boy be time . I’m utterly terrified it’s all I have been able to think about for days I go to sleep thinking about it I wake up thinking about it I’m even dreaming about it now .
I don’t really know what to do . I was offered an induction at 39 weeks for pgp and when I asked to talk to my midwife about it at my 34 week appointment( that another midwife made to discuss it ) she said no we will talk about it at ur next one wich is at 37 weeks 😩

Elective cesarean date?
Hi! I have a few medical issues and the general advice from practitioners is to opt for a caesarean.
I’m just wondering how many weeks in advance I might know my date? I have an obstetrician appointment eight weeks before my due date, is it likely I might get my date signed off then?
Due date is currently 25th of December.
Thank you!

Csection day
Potentially having my 2nd little boy today and I am so nervous. Any tips for recovery with a toddler. My partner is having 3 weeks off but I am quite worried about the initial 6 weeks period.

Postpartum
Ugh! I cannot stress it enough! The brain fog is insane and not something I can’t control 😟 I left my phone in Starbucks bathroom and thought I left it in the Ross changing rooms. Whole time I didn’t notice until I was asked about my phone!! Luckily it was still in the Starbucks bathroom but UGH! How do you make this stop??? I swear one day I might forget I have a baby! My son! Like I don’t know. This isn’t predictable and it just happens when it happens and I don’t notice until asked. Do any other mom’s experience this? What do you take or do?

Eustachian tube dysfunction/muffled heading
Hi, anyone else had experience of blocked ears during pregnancy? Feels like I'm underwater when I talk. It's intermittent. I'm 27 weeks but had it for a couple of months now. It's driving me nuts. Gp said I don't have wax and that it's eustachian tube dysfunction. Anyone had this and did it go after birth? Any tips of managing in the meantime? Thanks so much x
