Not yet! But I def don’t think it’s too soon ◡̈ im going to shop most likely after the baby shower and see what we still need.

Yes! Anything I see on sale I try to purchase it, like onesies, sleepers and random Ross trips. I also have my breast pump too. But I’m also not having a baby shower so just trying to spread out everything!

Just found out I’m having another boy! So a lot of my clothes shopping is already finished since I kept everything! That being said, I have been marketplace hunting bamboo sleepers because I can’t fathom paying full price for them. I just got a lot of 7 bums and roses ones for $100

Not yet, I have some stuff that my son has outgrown and some things I was gifted, but maybe since it’s my third I’m more casual about it lol. I am going to get everything the month before he’s due.

Since this is my first pregnancy and I am not hosting a baby shower, I made a list of everything I want to purchase so I can keep an eye on the sales and Facebook Marketplace.

Still researching. I've started a list but am waiting until it's closer to the due date in case things need to be returned.
Just learned that you can get your breast pump covered by insurance, but mine might change next year plus I'm waiting until closer to the due date to purchase bc some have limited-time warranties.

I got a few things so far but definitely not to soon!!
I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and after my most recent blood test I’ve been put onto aspirin due to a risk of pre-eclampsia (1 in 103) and risk of fetal growth restriction (1 in 118) . They didn’t really explain it much and just told me I have to go on aspirin and it’s really scared me.

I am now 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing high BP(I check it 3x a day and it fluctuates between high 130-140’s), am lightheaded, dizzy, and have super bad upper abdominal pain near the center/right side of my belly. It is tender to the touch and feels like a constant burning/stabbing pain(it is NOT the baby kicking). Has anyone who has had preeclampsia let me know if this is concerning? I’ve called my OB 3x now and all she keeps telling me is to go to L&D if I’m that concerned otherwise she’d see me at my next appt 😕 I don’t want to go to L&D and take up a bed if these are just normal pregnancy symptoms but this feels far from normal & I do think something is wrong, even if it’s not preeclampsia!

I’m really tempted to tell our parents and a couple of close friends after our early scan, but part of me feels like I should wait until 12 weeks.
Is it unusual to tell people that early, or do most people tell their parents/closest friends quite soon? I know there’s no “right” time, I’m just curious what other people did because keeping it quiet already feels so hard 😂

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!
