Baby girl is here!

I had my baby girl July 3rd via c-section but what was crazy is I started going into labor just hours before my scheduled c-section which I found perfect timing.
Also happy 4th of July!

Another chemical 😭

Really thought this was my month. Anyone else had more than one and then conceived quickly after?

My baby is 11 days old and I love her so much. We waited 8+ years for her and she is our rainbow baby 💓
But man postpartum is hitting hard. I’m so tired, overwhelmed and just touched out but hanging in there because I am so grateful. What a rollercoaster ride.

Who else Had both Pregnancy and Birth a positive experience?

I enjoyed my pregnancy and birth but feel I can't talk about it as everyone else had bad experiences.

Any help x

Hey. Feeling sad today. Half way through the year and still not pregnant! Trying to not get too down but it feels hard today. Lots of friends’ pregnancy announcements today too. I am lucky enough to have a 3 year old. So grateful for him but feels tough still. I wish i just was content with the one i have already. Does anyone feel content and happy with their one? Or even, if anyone feels happy and content on the same trying to concieve journey? Any words of comfort? Really struggling today. 34 year old female on the edge here. I often get worried about the pressure of not getting any younger/ age too ! X

I don’t want the newborn phase to end 🥹

This baby is my third and definitely my final baby and I am soaking it allllll up. It hits differently when you know it’s your last. The days are long but the years are short - make the most of it all if you can mamas these really are the most special days 🥰
