Lifting and carrying toddler
Second time mummas, did you/do you still carry your toddler whilst pregnant? I try avoid it as much as I can but my two year old still wants and needs to be carried sometimes. I do occasionally feel pains in my abdomen after I carry her, like an ache or sore pain which I’m hoping is just muscular. I know it’s not ideal but please tell me I’m not doing something bad or wrong!

I do carry my 4 year old sometimes and do also get twinges however I’m only 10 weeks
Just try not to do it constantly maybe
Pregnant with my 4th here and you’re doing nothing wrong. I have to carry all my 3 even now eldest being nearly 4 and youngest being 6 months. Babe is well cushioned and safe in there. Sounds like round ligament pain just adapt the way you lift and carry if needed
My first is always in my arms. Playing with my tummy (occasionally bouncing off it too). My husband carries her when he’s around, and she’s more than capable of walking. But I’m just enjoying these days of just having her in my arms. I’m also still whipping her around, flinging her upside down at 35 weeks pregnant. She loves it, I just can’t do as many as I used to.
I get Braxton Hicks (BH) often, but I see that as a good sign. My womb is preparing for the big day. So it’s not a bad thing. The BH only stop me bending over when they’re in full swing

Have you been intimate with your partner yet?
How is everyone feeling? I was only intimate with my fiancé from last week as I was scared! For the record, I had an episiotomy and recovery was an absolute killer.

Another baby?
Anyone currently considering having a another baby or ttc?
Feb baby was my 3rd, so another would make 4. Am I crazy? Is 4 too many? We have a q7 so car wise is fine, the youngest two would have to share a room a couple year until we buy a 5 bed but thats not the end of the world I dont think!
Do you think im crazy 🤪

Pregnancy and blood thinners
After my last pregnancy they discovered a clot in my lung post C-section, I was very unwell and felt awful. Any future pregnancies I will now be considered high risk and on blood thinners as well as the likelihood of reoccurring gestational diabetes. My question is, can I hear from some of you who were on blood thinners the entire pregnancy and how this effected birth/c sections? I really want another child but genuinely scared that I will bleed to 💀
