Should I be panicking yet?!

So I had my LO on June 7th and ummm I still haven’t gotten my period back. My fiancé and I have been intimate (I don’t use birth control due to hormonal migraines and condoms cause me a lot of pain. We do the good ole pull out which we are aware isn’t very effective. For background info we struggled quite a bit to get our LO, so consider us unlucky or lucky depending how you view it) of course my mother has been hounding me if I’m sure I’m not pregnant again (rude🙄). And I’m asking should I be panicking? I find like I should probably just take a test to ease my mind; I do want another baby just not right now. I guess I’m asking has anyone else had the periods return yet?? (And no I didn’t breastfeed)

Gaining a lot of weight In first trimester

I’m 9 and a bit weeks but I’ve noticed I have gained a lot of weight recently since conceiving. Mainly due to the nausea and sickness I feel like I need to keep eating to feel better. And also I eat mainly carbs whereas my previous diet was always as little carbs as possible as I have pcos and don’t process them very well . I’ve gained 8kgs and I’m really worried and shocked. My midwife didn’t think much of it but I don’t know if this is okay and how I can manage it better. I’ve just been trying to survive, it’s been really tough. Anyone else been through anything similar ?

Second baby

Anyone else pregnant with second baby yet?

I’m pregnant!

Hi all,

Just found out I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant after a C-section 8 months ago. If you couldn’t guess, I am nervous.

The one time we have sex without a condom (a moment of passion by me trying to feel desired again) and I bloody get pregnant! It took 2 years to conceive my first so I wasn’t expecting this at all. Obviously I know that having sex can lead to this😂 it’s just crazy the only time without a condom😭

I think I’m just looking for reassurance from mums who have gotten pregnant before the recommended wait time.

Am I crazy for feeling worried, scared and happy and not happy all at the same time?

High Blood Pressure

Has anyone been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure early in their pregnancy (before 20 weeks), not ended up with Pre Eclampsia and had a stress free birth? My 1st pregnancy went smoothly but I didnt end up having the waterbirth that I wanted. I was hoping we would be able to skip the labour ward this time and use the midwife led Birthing Centre instead. My BP is currenrly too high and they want me to have growth scans every 3 weeks once im over 23 weeks.

Time going fast

Does anyone else feel like time is literally going sooo fast! I guess because im busier with my daughter but i just cant believe im nearly 34 weeks already its crazy

Citalopram in pregnancy

Does anyone know if citalopram is allowed during pregnancy? I’ve been taking it for 3 years now and don’t feel I can stop taking it out of the blue!

Work

Hi. I know we are only really early and have a lot of time but is anyone really nervous about telling their managers/team. I'm new to the team and still training. I feel really guilty that I will be leaving them for 9 months.

30 weeks pregnant and sick of “fat” related comments

Hi everyone,

I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I somehow looked very pregnant from the get go. I’ve had HG and was losing weight the first 6 weeks, was in an out of hospital and to survive, I was eating bread and crackers every 10 minutes or so. As a result, I’ve gained 23kgs so far. I get comments like “you must ready to pop, are you sure you’re not having twins?”. Today, my butcher told me to “watch my weight as I’m getting quite big”. Even my own mother has told me to “watch my weight and to try and lose weight” which is dangerous. I gained 30kgs with my first and lost it all which took a year so I know this is routine for me but the comments are really upsetting and getting me down.

Pregnancy Anxiety

Anyone else experiencing severe pregnancy anxiety? I'm 13 weeks, 4 days and Every little ache or pain or any symptom and im spiraling thinking somethings wrong and its really getting to me not sure what to do, this will be my last and I want to enjoy it but im so terrified all the time and I feel like I shouldn't get excited😟
