For anyone that’s due baby number 2 soon and at all worried….

I’m 4 days postpartum and absolutely sobbing at how cute my November baby is being with her baby sister🥹

Frustration with NHS and medical system in UK

Is anyone else frustrated with how things are done here. I’ve had a few minor issues at the end of my pregnancy and the low effort, misinformation and just general care here is terrible. (I’m European)
I’ve just had a consultant tell me don’t bother with Strep B testing. 1h later I had a private test booked and the lady was so concerned the NHS disregard this test.
I’m 37 weeks so I’d advise anyone to do it so you can get treatment.
I never get my test results for blood work send to me, I have to spend hours chasing on the phone.
They constantly mix up my appointments and I also just learned from a midwife that the urine test they do is so basic it doesn’t actually catch any infections. They check for glucose and I forgot the other thing.

I’ve done most of my scans and tests privately and will continue to do so.

I feel very uneasy to give birth and it’s stressing me out. :(

I hate getting told ‘it’s not going to get any easier’

I am having a bad day today with baby as he is being extremely fussy. I’ve been non stop crying. I went into the doctors to pick up a form and the receptionist said aww he’s so cute. I then replied he’s been a nightmare today! Then she said well it’s not going to get any easier. Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear 😐 you get told it all the time and it annoys me.

I'm so confused about how far along i am

I went to the ER on Sunday due to intense cramps and was supposed to be 8 weeks + 4 days going off of my last period but was told that i was measuring 7 weeks + 5. It is now Tuesday, so would i be 8 weeks + 6 today or 8 weeks?

I’m starting to get more excited

I been goin through alot lately
In my life it’s hard to focus on new beginnings and new things when ur still struggling with past things, however I’m starting to finally feel the excitement for my new bundle of joy tummy is getting bigger feeling slight movements now.I’m so happy I can’t wait to meet my little bundle of joy in the near future I’ve already Been nesting and organizing can’t wait to fold his little onesies touch his little hand and kiss his little feet and prepare more for his arrival Anyone els feeling this level
Of excitement for thier babies ????? Joyful

Third trimester sickness

32 weeks and I’ve thrown up the last two nights. Anyone else? What’s that all about 😭

Anyone having another baby who already has a one year old?

Just looking for some moral support as have just found out I’m pregnant and am over the moon excited!
There is a part of me thinking oh em gee what am I getting myself in for 😬😂

Sneak Peek Gender Test?

Has anyone done the sneak peek gender test at about 10 weeks? Was it accurate?
