First trimester

Hi moms, how do you guys go to work or get anything done in the first trimester 😭 I feel like I’m just trying to survive each day with a long road ahead. I’m only 6 weeks with horrible fatigue, little to no appetite and morning sickness JUST started 😭

I was the same in my first trimester and I work 8-5 every day. Honestly, I would nap when I get home and also sleep extra on weekends.
The fatigue really got to me in the first trimester, just remember to be kind to yourself!

Omg u guys are so brave im going parental leave 😅 aka I got a doctors note and filed for sickness so im on an early maternity leave. The gov should do this bc the first trimester is the most likely time to miscarry, my job is so stressful and physically demanding that I would not have been able to get through it! I work in nursing so everyone is sick and blah it is rough af.

Its the worst lol, I would leave early a lot when I just couldn’t, and didn’t do much when I got home.

Luckily I was doing student teaching at the time finishing my masters so I took a break from working to do so. It was tough but helped that they had a earlier dismissal than my previous job

Honestly I was a walking zombie first trimester. Always exhausted and throwing up constantly. My coworkers were a lot of help but it was still hard. Bring foods/snacks that you crave or keep the morning sickness at bay. For me flavored beverages helped when I couldn’t physically eat anything. When I was able to eat I’d try to snack lightly. Cold foods helped like ice cream or fruit. I had hg though so it was a miserable even into 2nd trimester

Second baby worries

Me and my partner have a beautiful 3 year old daughter but a few months ago decided we wanted another we were both so excited when we found out a couple of weeks ago we got pregnant, I’m about 6 weeks now and all I see on here or other social media for that matter is negative responses to having a second child (not saying people regretted it but that they wouldn’t want another like 1 is perfect) like it ruined the family dynamic or it’s so much harder you’ll have no time for yourselves or why would you want to start all over again when it’s so hard, so I guess I’m just asking all those mums out there who have got more than one if you could flood me with how amazing you’re little family is now you’ve got your squad 😂 I don’t know if it’s the hormones kicking in or the thought of giving birth again but I’m freaking out a little bit over here and would love some positivity to get me back on track for how excited I felt about adding another baby to our little family unit thank you ❤️

Baby number 2 bs

I'm so tired of people asking when baby number two is coming or are you planning for baby number two, I just had my first people were already asking this less than 24 hours after giving birth to him, I don't want another kid to begin with! I was dead set on only having one kid and everyone's just like I will see about that, oh you can't be too sure, or just disregarding what I've said and how I feel! Including my husband he has made countless remarks on him wanting another kid and I thought I made it clear to him that I only want one kid and I thought he was on the same page as me but I assumed wrong and clearly we are not...

New pregnancy

Hey mamas!!

My baby boy just turned 7 months old today! I found out on the 11th (three days ago) that I am pregnant again. I went to the dr yesterday to get labs drawn and my hcg test confirmed it. They estimate me to be about 4 weeks, but are unsure right now since i did not have a period postpartum (exclusively breastfeeding).

I am pretty sure I have felt every emotion possible. Shocked, scared, stressed, excited, everything. The last couple days have been something.

I just turned 20 in September. I will have 2 babies before I even turn 21.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom, advice, or just any positive words for me😂

I am terrified to say the least, but also cannot wait for my beautiful boy to be the best big brother ever.

Dye stealer??

Is this a dye stealer? Promised myself I’d stop testing once I’d had one. Anxiety levels are very high in these early weeks😵‍💫
