As a first time mom then 0-6 ish months when he couldn’t move at all. And he was clingy and I could never put him down. So i literally sat all the time and couldn’t get any cleaning done

None the baby stage was the easiest now my daughter is almost 10 this is the hardest part

The attitude honestly and she’s a mini me so I can’t even say anything but I just feel she hates me the now

Baby phase was easy! My toddler son is a monster now 😅 trying to 'tame' him while juggling my 7mo daughter wanting to walk is challenging! But I'm loving it 🥰

0-3 was easy asf he just slept as soon as those 3 months were up and my husband went back to work it was a whole different story😩

3-9 because the feeding journey was a nightmare.

Personally for us I feel like each stage was hard for different reasons and a different type of struggle. 0-3 was an insane adjustment and we wildly underestimated what goes into caring for a newborn. 6-9 she had a sleep regression that was super frustrating. But there's also a lot of things that change that make it easier too so its like a trade off 🤷🏽‍♀️😊

2 year old toddler boy stage 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

i think the newborn stage was hardest for me in terms of adjusting and doing it alone. as she has gotten older it’s just gotten easier and easier and more enjoyable. yes as they got older there are different challenges, but i find it so much easier to deal with because you can actually talk and reason with them now! xx

Almost time?

So at this point I don’t even know whats going on 🤣I am 39+3 weeks and had so many episodes of cramping/pains where I have thought this is it but clearly its been Braxton hicks as still no baby!
Yesterday I had bad cramping and pains for 9 hours from 3pm onwards, had urge to poop and lost thick discharge, and the pains did feel like they were getting worse and at one point it was too uncomfortable to even walk.. to the point I had everything ready to go and then everything just stopped again LOL.
Its my 2nd birth but tbh forgot what it felt like last time as I was induced and the whole thing was a blur as it was four years ago!

Anyone else been experiencing this?

Morning sickness

Hi! I’m 12 weeks 3 days and still dealing with morning sickness. I’ve tried actually everything and nothing works. Is anyone else in the same situation? 😭 Would love to connect with other people going through it or just someone with a similar due date (April 21st)

37 weeks

Anyone wake up in the night feeling nauseous?

Normal?

I’m new to all of this as a first-time mom, and I’m only 6 weeks pregnant, so it’s still very early. I’ve been feeling pretty tired all the time, which I can manage, but I’ve also noticed that I’m becoming more irritable than usual. I feel like I need to poop more often, but when I do, it comes out in small, pebble-like pieces that is not hard. When I can’t go, I feel really uncomfortable and nauseous, although I never actually throw up. On top of that, I’ve been struggling to sleep. I keep tossing and turning throughout the night and waking up frequently, so I never feel like I’m getting proper rest.

Spotting

Hello all! I’m around 9 weeks pregnant.

We recently had some brown discharge about 2 weeks ago. All cleared up and was fine. However now we are having light pink spotting. No pain, a little cramping like a period is wanting to come. I don’t have my first scan till 29th October so I’m a little in the unknown! My midwife said that there’s nothing they can do about it 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone experienced the same? Or in a previous pregnancy and all was fine?
