19 weeks with my first baby & confused by all the exercise advice! 😅

Hi mamas! I’m currently starting my 19th week of my first pregnancy. My goal is to have a vaginal birth, and I’m looking to start preparing my body.

Honestly, there is so much conflicting information out there nowadays about pre-birth workouts.. getting super confused about who to trust and what to follow!

For those who’ve been through this, what exercises actually helped prepare you for labor? And what should I definitely avoid? Would love your real-talk recommendations! 🤍

Go see a pelvic floor therapist now it'll make a world of difference both before and after birth

Used baby items

I found a used breast feeding pillow and a used baby lounger at the second hand store. Do you think it’s gross to buy used?

Regret in first trimester

Anyone experienced a very sudden shift to regret about your pregnancy in first trimester? Will things get easier over time towards the birth?

Hi girls!

I’m very early, but constantly seeing videos online about health complications after birth. Deaths, clots, strokes etc… Its absolutely terrifying me. Anyone able to sort of help get that fear gone?🫣
