Not so subtle sign that I am a mom in my 30s

I got an Amazon order this morning and couldn't help but laugh. Thought some others would get a laugh as well.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say hi! EDD Jan 18th. First time mom, I found out at 3 weeks 2 days 🙈 now I’m 4 weeks 3 days. Had my first appointment today, got blood, and met the midwife who will be delivering me. Have another appointment in 2 weeks to see some action and hear a heartbeat!! 🙏 wishing us all safe and healthy pregnancies.

Giving birth nerves

Having baby number 2, first baby is now 3 and a half. Starting to feel abit apprehensive for giving birth this time however didn’t feel this way first time. Am I the only one that feels this way??

Second baby

Is giving birth the second time easier 😅 my little one is due in september and im already nervous to give birth again 😄

Am I being naive?

I haven't done any official birthing classes ($300+ is just ridiculous) but I'm pretty proactive on YouTube and online article to the point I've started to be bored cuz I have so many "I already know that" moments.

As for anxiety and fear of being in labor idk why but im really not anxious, I kind have a chill, my body is designed to give birth attitude. I have music and pain management techniques memorized and Ive started a daily (more like every 3 days, lol, but im getting better) stretching/exercise routine.

But I honestly can't tell if im being naive or if I really am preparing enough. Any advice?

Struggling

No purpose other than to rant to other mums that will get it. I loved my first pregnancy, maybe I look back at it with rose tinted glasses. While I am B E Y O N D grateful for this pregnancy, I cannot wait to have my body back. I am tired, I hurt, I feel sick, heartburn, can’t sleep, skin itches, bleeding gums, more grey hairs, more skin tags, mouth ulcers, big, slow and uncomfortable. 30 weeks and now struggling to put my own shoes. I am not glowing. 😂😂😂

Baby #2

Heyy everyone, I just got a positive pregnancy test for baby #2. And I’m so excited I had to tell someone! I am only 12dpo and I tested positive already! I am also 12 months post c-section with my first baby.

2nd baby and engaged already?

Anyone else on baby number 2 and think baby is already engaged? I’m 32 weeks and everything feels a lot heavier down below today 😬

Dose anyone else find making food decisions overwhelming at the moment?

I don’t know what it is but since being pregnant everytime I need to plan a meal or get asked what I want to eat, I feel so overwhelmed by the whole situation!

Pregnancy pillow

Has anyone found a good pregnancy pillow? I have an Ikea one which is flat and does nothing and then bought a baby bub pillow but that is just so uncomfortable 😭

4 Weeks today!

Just found out yesterday! had some weird cramping and thought I might as well take a test, totally unexpected!
Having a ton of anxiety about this, but I have always wanted to be a mom!
I don't want to tell everyone right away, but do want some people to know, just in case something happens, I can have some support.
So far we have only told Daddy's mom.

Who do you tell, and when?

I won't be making a big announcement until at least 10 weeks after we see the OB.

Help please am not sure x

Hey girls can any ine see a faint line on this test my eyes are defo deseving me 😴😴😪

Braxton hicks in third pregnancy

Is anyone else who is not pregnant with their first experiencing really strong braxton hicks? I do not remember them being so intense in the past. They are even waking me up at night. I’m assuming it’s just because it’s my third pregnancy- anyone else the same?

Pls help!

Hey Mamas , when did u start going for walks with baby? I only step out for appointments and it’s so refreshing ! I’m a lil anxious to go out with just me and baby , in case she starts crying and all😭 I really wanted to go for a walk today but now I’m like cba🥲 She will be 2 months this weekend.

Has anyone attended any baby sessions with other mummies ? How’s it going x

Just finding it hard , anyone else feel like this?

Baby number 2

Hello, I just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 2. I’m 6 weeks and 3 days. Still have yet to go to my ultrasound in about a week and a half. Is it normal for my belly to be this big? I have a PCOS belly but it’s not this big. I know it’s bloat I’m heavier this time than with my daughter I was 128 pounds to start with her and now 170 to start with this one. My husband is convinced it’s twins 🙈. It only gets bigger when I eat.
