I HAVE A DATE!!! 🤭🤭🤫

Finally after 3 weeks of back and forward, arguing and complaints I can finally say I know when my boys will be born and my god is it a relief!

The person I asked today literally replied with ‘wait for a call’ but I said enough is enough I want a date now as I’m 36 weeks and they have to be born by 38 even if it’s just an updated provisional. Then A 2 minute call later and I have an official date (not saying as don’t want to jinx it) but ladies if you’re waiting on a date don’t let them piss you about !

Heatwave

Anyone else absolutely dreading this upcoming heatwave?! Will either be 40 weeks pregnant or with a newborn trying to keep cool - don’t know what’s worse!

So many March 2025 mums pregnant again

I feel like I just gave birth yesterday?! I also couldn’t afford another one right now. How did you feel ready so soon again?

Early days

Hello! I just found out I’m pregnant last night after nearly 2 years of trying and giving up.

This will be bubba no2 and I’m excited but trying to keep cool. So glad there’s a page for Jan babies. Also my other little one is a Jan baby too.

35+2

How’s everyone doing? I’m currently contemplating life as my baby has managed to bruise my ribcage and I’m also dealing with the worlds worst pelvic girdle at the same time🥰

Just Trying To Take Day By Day

Literally was engaged and it’s like as soon as he found out we were for sure pregnant did a complete 180 🤯 Best part is I didn’t even know of any mishaps between us and he was telling me I was pregnant before I even found out 🤔. What makes matters worse is I was pregnant last year and we lost our son last may so it’s like still grieving that. Now he has just lost his relative on the anniversary of our sons death so has completely checked out 😔. Luckily I have family helping me but this is insane 😵‍💫

Baby number 2!

Just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant with baby number 2.. instant guilt that my August baby will need to share us! 😢 he will be 2.5 when new baby comes along. How has anyone else dealt with this please? 🙏🏼
