Anyone else finding first trimester quite lonely?

I'm about 10 weeks now and from the outside theres no real visible change, but the mood swings and nausea are really getting to me. Its hard to share this with people when in general you are encouraged to keep it hush hush in the first trimester. Its so much change to navigate alone

4 months pp

Almost 4 months pp with my second and starting to feel sad and teary alot of the time. Anyone else? We havent had the 4 month regression yet and baby isnt particularly difficult so I dont know why I feel this. It sucks

New here 👋 pregnant again 🫢

Anyone else pregnant with a 10 month old?

I’m about 8 weeks pregnant, trying to find those on the same timeline :)

Not a newborn anymore 😭

I’ve literally cried, probably, 7 times today because my baby girl is 8 weeks next week and not considered a newborn anymore. I can’t bear how fast time goes!

Overwhelmed and anxious at 38weeks

Hey, I’m 38+1 and so overwhelmed with everything and feeling slightly apprehensive now. I’m due 16th Aug, however I am measuring small, according to midwife and scans. I’ve had to go in for extra growth scans and there was talk about inducing me due to reduced movement however I am not yet ready for baby so I put it off last week. Things seemed to have evened out now, and baby was measuring 5lbs7 at my last growth. I still haven’t packed my hospital bag or baby’s bag, and I have no idea where to even begin or which bag to bring. I held off washing baby clothes due to a malfunctioning new wardrobe and I didn’t want to wash with nowhere to store clothes etc. I’ve finally started washing things now and placing clothes in storage boxes for now till I sort the wardrobe out, but I’m worried at my next scan (tomorrow) they might want to start things off. My midwife keeps saying we’ll do the birth plan but we haven’t yet, I’m not sleeping at night and have terrible heartburn :( also I want to try breastfeed this time round and unsure whether to take my breast pump into hospital with me.. any advice please. Thanks
