How are we doing?

How are we all feeling? 4 days left till the due date for me. My suit case is packed and in the car ready. Just need to do a snacks shop for the hospital. The closer to july we get, the more im bricking it. I think my body is doing a clear out as I have been on and off the toilet through the morning with more episodes on saturday. Im so over this pregnancy. I just want baby out now.

First postpartum period

Has anyone had their first period yet? Im 6 weeks pp and currently on day 2 of my first period. Its so heavy! Ive resorted to my huge maternity pads. Im bleeding through tampons. Is this normal?

35 weeks anxiety 😭

I’m 35 weeks and baby has been head down for a few weeks.

The pressure down below is so uncomfortable and has been lots of lightening crotch. But when I lie down on my side it calms. Baby is a wee wriggler too. I sleep fine at night too. But during the day I can’t walk anywhere or do anything because the only release I get is when sitting with feet up or lying down. I feel so useless.

I have a scheduled section as I had c section first time. My fear is what if I go early - it terrifies me.
How do u know if I’m in labour? People say you just know but what if I don’t.

Everyday I’m constantly symptom checking but I’m so miserable and anxious constantly.

Midwife said pressure is worse this time because it’s my 2nd and pelvic floor
Muscles isn’t the same. But said it’s very normal.

I don’t think I can do this for 5 weeks I’m so scared I go early. 😭 I’ve cried everyday and I have a toddler so I’m constantly on the go.

So excited!

I just got my 2-3 week date a day early than I thought i would. So nice to see it progressing ☺️

Anyone else here at a similar stage? ☺️

Nausea?

Has anyone experienced constant nausea in their 3rd trimester?

Feelings

Hello mommas how early did you have your baby? Also did you feel guilty for having them early like if there was anything you could have done differently? How do you cope with this feeling?

Non stress test

Is anyone scheduled to do the non stress test? I am so confused on why im doing it because im not a high risk pregnancy and my bp has been good the entire pregnancy. Im only 29 years old and its my first pregnancy.

NIPT results

I've been blessed with another healthy pregnancy 🙏🏼💓
This is my 5th. And I am having ANOTHER GIRL 🥴 wish me luck!

Feeling Excited & Anxious

So I'm due the end of July and I am so excited to meet my baby girl and just become a mother however the closer I am getting to my due date is the closer I am getting scared about labour and birth I know there is pain relief and stuff but I am just not sure if I can handle the whole process. Does anyone else have the same feelings or just went through their delivery ?

Has anyone experienced this ?

I get really irritated and uncomfortable when my daughter rubs and kisses my pregnant tummy. I just want to tell her back up, get off me 😩😩😩

Broody

Sorry I just need to write this on here as I think if I mention it to anyone else they’d think I’m mad but I’m feeling so broody for another baby and it’s weird cause then I feel guilty at the idea of my little one having to share my attention as she’s still a baby herself (even though she wouldn’t exactly be in 9 months time) also me and my partner are barely having sex so maybe it’s weird I want a baby 😂😂 my periods still haven’t come back either so probably can’t 😭 just really feel like I want another baby, since the 9/10 month mark I really see the change in my little one moving into toddlerhood and I never realised how quick the baby phase goes also makes me sad that if I had another soon the whole baby chapter of my life might be over soon 😭

40w and still pregnant?

Anyone else here over 40w and still pregnant? How are u feeling?

New job

I’ve just started a new job, and at the same time found out I am pregnant with my first baby 🥰

Won’t be telling work til atleast 12week mark, but I’m so anxious about telling them, and feeling guilty 🙁

Hayfever

Please is anyone having extreme hayfever in there first trimester and is it normal?

Were your pregnancies (or pregnancy) planned?

Neither mine were 🙊
But I’m still in a very happy and stable relationship with their dad and we both agree that they are the best little accidents in the world ❤️❤️

Did you eat before your glucose test?

In my first pregnancy I did, I ate 2 or 3 boiled eggs. I was told that was ok then and I passed it. Now, my second pregnancy, I’m been told it’s supposed to be on an empty stomach.
I’m going to check again with my doctors office, just curious about y’all experience

Gestational diabetes - anyone else have this test?

Freaking out so much about this test. It’s in August and I will literally be gutted if I have it.

questions

hi I ever since I hit around 25 weeks my anxiety has been through the roof and I catch myself worrying constantly over the smallest things or things in the past, and just paranoid about everything. Is that just me?? I swear my anxiety has never been like this before and I don’t know if it’s my hormones
