So this is my first baby (probably my last too cause wthš) and omg, the road has been long. I wouldnāt say Iāve 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??

Itās okay to be both incredibly grateful for being pregnant, but also hating everything that comes with it. Your body is going through a lot.. emotionally and physically.. the changes are immense and there are days that are going to be incredibly hard and thatās okay. Give yourself some grace, and know that more of us struggle than you think.. itās always okay to reach out for help if you need it š¤ x

Legit, the only good thing that I would say Iāve had is seeing her on the ultrasound and then feeling her kick but even her kicks are getting harder and starting to hurt šš

This is my 3rd baby and I feel like I'm enjoying this one a lot more than my other 2. No aches or pains and I feel good. Hope you start to feel better

Don't beat yourself up about it, I totally understand how you are feeling. I'm not enjoying being pregnant either. Pregnancy is tough on your bodies, we are building a tiny human and that is hard work. If your nausea is not gone yet speak to your midwife what could help you with it. Some women eat ginger biscuits, for me Lemon sherbets helped a lot, maybe one of those things might help you.
You are not ungrateful, it is a rough time you are going through especially with lack of sleep.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
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 āØ

Iām 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!!!

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

Iām 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 wouldnāt be surprised if he came early even though Iām due December 1st. She is thinking maybe as early as mid November. Iām worried and overthinking everything hoping he doesnāt come earlier than that (though trust me I want him out š ). Iāve been having cramping and Braxton hicks among other things. But no steady contractions and my water hasnāt broke or anything yet. I was curious what ānon typicalā 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? Itās my first baby so I have no clue what labor will look like for me and I know itās different for everyone but I just need some reassurance that Iāll be able to recognize it when the time is close or here

Alright ladies, Iām officially coming into that final stretch!! Iām 31 weeks on Saturday.
I would love any and all advice. Anything youāre thinking āoh I should definitely tell her thatā tell me. I want real donāt 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 itās not, things I absolutely need to prepare, things I absolutely donāt, etc. š
