Fall

Last night at about 3am I had a fall, I’m 29 weeks+2 days pregnant. Thankfully I didn’t land directly on my belly but I did land quite hard on my side. I’ve definitely bashed both my knees quite hard. I’m quite concerned because I don’t know what’s going on with the baby but I do have a scan today at the hospital so they should be able to see if there’s any problems there. Has anyone else fallen during their pregnancy? Have you had any problems because of it?

Not sure how I feel about announcing 3rd baby… any one else felt this way?

So I’m now 10.5 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby. My 12 week scan is booked in for the week after next.

My first two children are twins a boy and girl so most people probably think we’re not going to have anymore. Also my daughter is SEN and non verbal at age 3. Our son had a speech delay but now is a very chatty toddler and has completely caught up 😊.

Anyway I’ve only told my mum and sister that I’m pregnant and no one else knows. I can’t help but feel we will get some negativity with announcing this one.

We don’t ask for help.. never ask for baby sitters. I stay at home with my twins and they go to nursery twice a week and my partner works full time. The only person who occasionally looks after the twins is my mum for the odd appointment and we are ok financially.

The older I get though the more bitter people seem to be in general which I don’t think is personal but people just seem like that these days. We did have some negativity with my twins which was odd as I was 30 and in a stable relationship 😅

How was it when you announced your 3rd? Did anyone else feel this way?

Feeling scared.

I am 39 weeks pregnant. Ive had a baby before but oh my God I'm so nervous about birth. I'm trying to be zen and all chill and just wait for baby to make their appearance. I feel more anxious than first time around. Does anyone have any words of affirmation? Or anything that really helped them. Thank you 😊

Polyhydramnios and bed rest advice for third trimester?

Has anyone else been diagnosed with polyhydramnios in the third trimester and told to rest more? How did you cope with the discomfort and stress, and were you put on bed rest or just encouraged to take it easy?

Babymoon

Where are people going on their babymoon? Is everyone doing it? I feel a bit anxious to go to another country and what if something goes wrong. 🤞

Little bean

Went for a scan yesterday to see if there could be a chance of getting pregnant and in the smallest bubble ever we see this…..

Have another scan in a week to see how bean is progressing!!

Hope everyone is happy! Congratulations everyone 💕

Pregnancy

Has anyone else got pregnant again since having their baby in December? I’m scared about such a close age gap

The things ur not looking Foward to this pregnancy!!

I Love having a baby and adding a new addition to my family of course that brings joy to my heart ♥️ however their are things us moms don’t want to repeat or look forward to like for me the teething stage lord I don’t want to deal with that , catching bad colds , the sleepless nights and endless feeding sessions what do u guys not look Foward to this pregnancy it’s ok to be open and honest this is a age space we don’t judge ????

Another baby

How are we all feeling about a second baby, I feel like I wanna get cracking so they are closer in age but I’m scared 😂

How Far Along Are You?

Braxton hicks

I haven’t experienced ANYYY painful braxton hicks during my pregnancy. absolutely 0! it’s just been “oh that’s solid” and maybe just a bit harder to breathe. no pain or even discomfort, AT ALL!

I am kind of annoyed by this. because yes, it’s nice. but I have never had a baby before. I feel like because I’ve experienced NO pain, it’ll make labour feel even worse. if that makes sense? obviously even if you’ve had painful braxton hicks, labour is still painful. but it probably isn’t AS bad as you’ve experienced practice ones..you know?? so you know at least a little percent of what you’ll be feeling/dealing with.

I’m just scared I’m COMPLETELY UNPREPARED for the pain. does anyone else feel the same?

5 weeks

5 weeks and honestly so gassy 😂 please tell me I’m not alone 😂

Gestational diabetes

I had my 1 hour glucose test this morning and it came back 160 at 26w4d! My doctor hasn’t commented on it yet, but my understanding is that I will have to take the 3 hour test next. I’m so bummed. Anyone that had similar results and passed the 3 hour test?

Glucose test

I’m supposed to go this week for my glucose test and everyone says the drinks are horrible. I’m so nervous and I’ve been nauseous the entire pregnancy so far and don’t want to have to redo it or for me to puke. How was it for u guys?

2 months postpartum. Is it normal to feel low for no reason at all?

Ive had a C section & have a great support system. My parents and husband ensure i get enough rest by taking care of the baby. Baby is healthy and im healthy too. Yet i find myself sometimes reliving my entire pregnancy journey in my mind or start feeling low for absolute no reason at all. Is it the hormones or what is exactly happening with me?

Feeling pressured about having an epidural

I have Cystic Fibrosis and I am 27+5. My midwife requested an appointment with the anaesthetic doctor so I’ve been to that today and I feel like she’s forcing me to have the epidural when I really don’t want it. She says it’ll help with my lung capacity so she wants me to have the epidural straight away as soon as I’m in labour. However, my CF team have said I am and my lungs are healthy enough to give birth as a normal woman, so I can have gas and air etc. the anaesthetic doctor didn’t ask me what my lung function was or nothing. I’ve been so healthy the past 6 years so I really don’t think I need the epidural. I’m a bit of a push over so I feel like I will end up having the epidural even though I don’t want it. How do I get around this? It’s upset me and annoyed me at the same time cause she’s made me think I’m not healthy enough to give birth without the epidural
