Anyone else still look pregnant?

I’m 11 weeks postpartum and still look 4 months pregnant what on earth is going on?

Second pregnancy early bump?

Is anyone else showing really soon compared to their 1st pregnancy?

Another mixed baby

Soon I’m gonna have 2 heads to brush, pray for me

41 weeks today.. Second baby boy 👶🏼

I need some positive second baby birth stories because I am spiralling!

I was only 2 days late with my first and as majority of people say your 2nd baby might come earlier or your labour will be quicker and I am loosing all hope of this now thinking I’m getting closer to induction 😢

Anyone else starting to feel broody/ thinking about another baby?…👀

It’s got to be hormonal 😅

little rant!!

i used to work in the OR and tell people “you’re in great hands, you’ll be okay” and calm them down before surgery now that i’m the one going into surgery & i’m terrified lol it’s funny how i used to be so positive but now that it’s me im freaking out lol.

Anyone past their due date?

How are you feeling? Does labour feel far away?

I’m 40 weeks today! It still doesn’t feel real for me yet, I’m all prepared in the house and ready for baby girl, so excited for labour to start but I still feel like I’m waiting for some big reality check 😂

I feel like I’m going to go way over ( I know it’s fine but I’m so ready for her to come now) i think because I feel so fine in my body like I have no signs of labour I still feel really active and loving the sun im going to a plant nursery then coming home to do some gardening today 😂

Anyone else feel like labour is far away?

Does it just randomly change that fast and you go into labour?

9 week Countdown begins today!

Ahhhh!! I am so nervous. I'm down to single digits 😭 the excitement is overwhelming and it's like my brain will block out the actual giving birth part until I see something that reminds me 😅

Whats your due date and what are your plans for the last few weeks??

I'm going to start washing baby girls clothes today while the sun is out 🥹 will need to figure out her camera, baby brezza and bottle washer in the next few weeks too. Her travel system should arrive next week. Otherwise I feel fairly ready!

Anyone else feel like they’ve dropped

Anyone else 35+3 and feel like they’ve dropped pretty low down? Supposed to be booking my elective c section Wednesday next week but will be amazed if she’s not here before my planned section date 👀👀

I'm having my baby in 7 weeks instead of 11!

So I went for my extra growth scan today because I had a fully covering placenta previa plus a 98th percentile boy. Placenta had not moved what so ever, it's like a lid over my cervix, so they told me it will be a c section at week 36. Baby is still massive - 97th percentile this time, so they suspect I either are growing a greek God in there or I'm having gestational diabetes. But it speak against diabetes because he's been big the whole time.. anyone else going through anything similar?

Also... I'm loosing a month of waiting! Baby were supposed to come end of June and now coming end of May! I got SO MUCH TO DO! 😅 I'm stressed, relieved and excited all at once!

When did you tell work you were pregnant?

I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and starting to feel like I should tell my manager soon… but I’m really anxious about it.

I’m worried that as soon as I say something, I’ll be treated differently or even a bit isolated at work.

How did it go for you? When did you tell your employer, and did anything change afterwards?

Frustration

Is it just me or is anyone else getting really frustrated at people asking "you had the baby yet?" And I get that sometimes it's out of a place of love but at the same time I just want to be left alone and I will say something when I'm ready to share that I've had my baby

When did you feel ready to have another?

I have a 15 month old baby girl! She is genuinely the definition of a unicorn baby! She slept through the night from 8 weeks old, she has a happy and content wee spirit! She is very rarely crabby as in when she is tired shes cuddly not grumpy, her teeth came in and she just dealt with it! No crying or illnesses or behavioural changes! She didn’t even have a single sleep regression😩She is honestly just full of fun and love and I feel like she has taken all my worries of becoming a mum away! We always joke shes giving us a false sense of security🤣🤣

Anyways, I have been so broody recently! Like constantly thinking about having a second baby and talking with my partner about it. We always said we didn’t want bigger age gaps between kids. 2-3 years was the plan before we had her younger. I was 19 when I had her, he was 21! Therefore, I am now turning 21 and he is turning 23.

As younger parents who didn’t expect to have kids so young, we don’t know how to plan when we have a second baby. We spoke about how it would be nice to have a second next year. We are saving to buy a house (currently renting) and would be buying a house within the next 2 years for extra deposit saving purposes. We have a lovely 2 bedroom house rented from family which means it’s secure in terms of rent. He works a great job and I am graduating in the summer alongside working 30 hours a week in between uni and mummy duties. We are financially due to be in a great place after summer and desperate to give our daughter a sibling.

But we still feel our age will somehow bring judgement I guess or maybe we should enjoy us as a family of three more? But we both come from big families and I have siblings close in age, 4 years from myself to my youngest sibling. My partner however has huge age gaps between himself and his 2 oldest siblings and his youngest. His oldest being 46 and his youngest being 7!!! He has always hated it and wanted to have kids close in age. We don’t want her daughter to miss out in the bond siblings have when they are closer in age but I understand it’s not as easy as just that!

My expectations are not that the next baby is going to be like my first! I know we lucked out and are most likely going to have a troublemaker🤣🤣 I know it will be tougher but I just adore being a mum and love all the fun that comes with it! My daughter loves all our friend’s kids and her cousins and I just know she would be an amazing big sister!!

Has anyone else been through this battle and got some advice to share?

24 hours from now, I will meet my rainbow baby 🙏🏼🌈

I can’t believe it’s finally the morning before I go in to the hospital! I’m alone with my toddler until this evening, and I’m going to try to keep my delivery anxiety down. Soaking in this time with my first baby 🥹 About to wash my hospital bag (very last minute because of a hard month)

Thinking of all of you! In this together 🥲

Do we know what we're having yet???

I just found out today and I'm so excited 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
My first was a boy, I'm so excited to be having a girl!
What are you all having?

Keep it?

This will be my second baby. 7th pregnancy. I absolutely hate being pregnant, the symptoms, the guilt.
My first isn’t even one yet. She’s my rainbow baby and here I am lucky enough to have another. Another high risk pregnancy and probably perfect baby again.. but I honestly don’t want to do it again😭
