She’s here, just over a week early!
Baby girl arrived 25th of March, I was due on 2nd of April🩷

A special thanks to clary sage oil and pumping colostrum, which I think started labour off, waters broke in the middle of the night 😳

And for all the Mamma’s expecting their second wondering if and how they will love their second the same as their first. You do, your heart doubles in size 🥰and use the sadness and anxiety you feel about leaving your first as your strength and power to get through💪🏼

You have got this, good luck all❤️

Part-time working

I’m due to go back to work soon and need to pick my part time days. I’m torn between working Monday-Tuesday or Tuesday-Thursday? Anyone have any experience working these patterns, I’m struggling to decide! I’m a teacher so I also get the half terms!

2nd pregnancy

Did anyone else feel like they're "pushing away" their first born, after you found out about ur 2nd pregnancy? I feel so strange, I still play with my baby girl and interact with her but sometimes I feel like I'm not as connected to her as I used to be. My pp was really good, I bounced back pretty quickly considering most pp is a struggle for a long time. But I'm due in September and I'm really freaking out about my pp. What if I push my daughter away completely? I don't think I would but jw if anyone else has experienced this?

anxiety

trying to decipher if anything i’m feeling is signs of labor starting or not is giving me such terrible anxiety. (or if i’m even really feeling any of it or it’s just in my head) this isn’t even my first baby and i never got nervous about giving birth last time idk why i keep getting so nervous this time

Safe for 6 month old?

No pillows etc but want to know if I can buy this for my baby as her ‘cot’

OCD

Does anyone suffer with OCD, I’m specifically struggling with contamination OCD. And it’s ever since I got pregnant, baby is 8 months now and I wonder if it will get any better. Or what will help!

10 weeks left, maybe counting down

I feel like all I do is bitch about this pregnancy but I cant wait for the next 10 weeks to disappear, between not being able to eat certain things because I'm pregnant, food aversion and now fucking GD, I feel like I should just eat lettuce and strawberries to be safe, same pasta as last night made my glucose levels sky rocket to 8.7mmol today, went to have soup for dinner, nope, baby didnt like then I was reminded I shouldnt be eating anyway because it has Stilton 🤦‍♀️ I'm done and ready for my body back now lol I always feel guilty for wanting it to be over when I know mums struggling to get pregnant or having loss, but honestly reaching my point, first pregnancy was a breeze compared to this

Anyone else full of doubts now?

Hi all,
I'm just going to preface this by saying I've not enjoyed pregnancy at all and I've felt super guilty about it the whole time. The third trimester is just really taking its toll on me though, I've got awful pelvic girdle pain which I've had for at least the last 5 weeks (I'm currently 37 weeks), I'm tired, I'm irritable and I'm feeling really down about my appearance at the moment. I've put on quite a bit of weight and I hate looking at myself in the mirror now.
This last couple of weeks I've just been feeling so full of anxiety. This was very much a planned and wanted pregnancy (it's my second pregnancy, my first ended in miscarriage) but I'm not a maternal person at all, I've never had an interest in babies and I'm terrified I'm just going to be a useless mother. I don't have my own mum to help me or guide me, I lost her when I was little and my dad never remarried so I feel like I've never even had a good female role model.
I'm just starting to panic that I'm about to ruin my life and my relationship and wondered if anyone else is feeling this way. If it's just nerves because I'm so near the end now. I want more than anything to fall in love with my baby as soon as I see them but I'm terrified I'm going to feel nothing and then feel like the worst mother on the planet.
