She’s cominggggg🥹

Alright ladies, I’m officially coming into that final stretch!! I’m 31 weeks on Saturday.
I would love any and all advice. Anything you’re thinking “oh I should definitely tell her that” tell me. I want real don’t try to sugar coat or try not to scare me I want it all!! lol
Things I should not be worried about but might, things that people make a big deal about but it’s not, things I absolutely need to prepare, things I absolutely don’t, etc. 😅

Heyyyy I’m 31 weeks on Friday I’m so excited twin we are gonna be mommies!!! I’m also having a girl too lol.
People have been telling me to stock up on diapers as much as possible that’s pretty much all I know and apparently raspberry leaf tea helps to induce labor. Also pack a really thorough hospital bag and make ice pads with witch hazel. So far that’s all the stuff I’ve seen (:

1. Go and take maternity photos
2. Make ur hospital bag earlier and don’t need a lot of stuff, matching outfit with baby put make up and take photos with ur baby in the hospital.
3. If u feel it u need to go to the hospital and get checked up go.
4. Get rest, u don’t have to be active all the time.

These are the things i regret it myself 7 months pp

Advocate for yourself! If you feel like something is happening and you want to be checked, make them check you. Especially in the delivery room. I got told 3 times I wasnt in active labor when I was and nobody checked, for at least 40 minutes I was pushing on my own because they told me id be another couplle hours before I was in active labor. My son almost ended up under me and could have died because I didnt know what i was doing.

Check in

Just wanting to check in and see how everyone is feeling, we’ve not long to go. We’ve got through the first trimester, the second, and now we are just waiting for baby to arrive. I’m due 15th November so could be 3 weeks or 7 😵‍💫

Hope you’re all okay, and thought I’d make a post so we can all share our current ups and downs, what we are looking forward to or what we are nervous about. Let’s support each other 💕

Going from 1 to 2

I have a little girl and I’m currently 5/6weeks pregnant. I’ve had two chemicals so this pregnancy so far has had me on edge. Although we did want another, I’m now scared.
My girl will be 3/4ish weeks off turning 2 when the next one is due.

I’m now starting to think about how it’ll realistically work… having to get out with a toddler and a baby. How am I going to get them both up and ready, meals, nappy changes solo trips etc. like I was shopping earlier and thought ‘how could I do this with 2?!’ When my toddler was climbing out the trolley and not letting me get her in the car seat etc.
panicking..

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

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?
