Anyone else pregnant again?🤣

Just fallen pregnant and struggling with the guilt of taking time away from my little girl. She’d be 23/24 months by the time they are born. Can anyone relate or share their experiences?😊

32 weeks coming up!

Hey ladies! How are you all feeling? Have you started preparing for delivery yet? Did you get a diaper bag? I feel like am very behind because I haven’t got anything for myself post delivery yet. I’ve been receiving gifts from friends and family for the baby but I havent thought about my post delivery care and essentials!

Also, how are we feeling mentally? Am still working full time but it’s really starting to get uncomfortable being stuck in DC traffic and working for long hours. I’ve been very irritable and having mood swings🤦🏻‍♀️

When do you start letting people know

I'm struggling to keep my mouth shut as I'm so excited but I don't want everyone knowing if something bad happens

For those who had more then 2 full pregnancies, please focus on the first 2 only 🙏🏼😊

Falling pregnant this month.

I really want to conceive this month. Its the last day of my period today. I have bought iron tablets because am always low and never take then, and folic acid/vitamin d pregnancy tablets as vitamin d is always low too 😅 will start them tomorrow. Then try and look after myself better eating and drinking. As I have a habit of skipping meals due to being so busy and then eating/snacking all at once. We will try from tomorrow is that the best way? Would you recommend trying every day or having a gap of 1 day?

Currently postpartum & curious 🤍

Being away from family and with my husband traveling for work, it’s been just me and baby a lot… especially overnight.

How supported did you really feel during those first few weeks?

I keep thinking I would’ve loved a few hours of help just to rest or get things done… honestly I might’ve even paid for that 😅

Did y’all ever feel like that?

2nd Pregnancy

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant with your 2nd?

I’m want a second more than anything but am scared I’ll have a ‘here we go again’ ‘back to square one’ moment…
