I’m nearly 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I never realised how hard this part of pregnancy is. Just having the test, no one around you knowing, living anxious constantly and the exhaustion wow!!!

Congratulations then, make the most of this part because once everyone knows noone leaves you alone and everyone worries about everything little thing x

Thank you girl! I know it’s such a special time. I just feel like I’m counting down to my scan so I can actually see rather than just a test!😅x

Congratulations

I’m also 5 weeks! 💜

Congratulations x I’m also pregnant but only about 3 weeks and I get the anxiety it does get easier once you are past the 12 weeks but for now you have to try and think positively otherwise you spiral and that’s not good for anyone xx you’ve got this mama 🥰

Congratulations!

Can you not go private and have a reassurance scan? You can have from 6 weeks I’ve got one booked (if from uk) usually about £30/£40 it’s a long long wait till 12 weeks I couldn’t do x
Hi ladies, anyone got any idea on the nub theory? This is our 12 week scan - and will be officially finding out gender at the end of October. So excited to find out if we will be adding another boy or girly to our rapidly growing family ✨

So this is my first baby (probably my last too cause wth😭) and omg, the road has been long. I wouldn’t say I’ve enjoyed any part of it but I also feel very ungrateful for complaining. I see these other pregnant women on TikTok and it seems like they are having a blast. Like how does someone even have more than 2 kids??

Can anyone recommend a twin feeding pillow? Everyone raves about the twin z but no where in the UK seems to sell it

I’m a little over 32 weeks but baby has been measuring a lot bigger at every scan for a while now. I get scans every week because the doctor suspects I have mild preeclampsia. She said with how big he has been measuring she wouldn’t be surprised if he came early even though I’m due December 1st. She is thinking maybe as early as mid November. I’m worried and overthinking everything hoping he doesn’t come earlier than that (though trust me I want him out 😅). I’ve been having cramping and Braxton hicks among other things. But no steady contractions and my water hasn’t broke or anything yet. I was curious what “non typical” signs of labor anyone has experienced? Did you get more or less emotional, were you more or less constipated, did you have any specific pains, etc? It’s my first baby so I have no clue what labor will look like for me and I know it’s different for everyone but I just need some reassurance that I’ll be able to recognize it when the time is close or here

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. 😅
