Early bump but second pregnancy

Hi mummies I’m currently pregnant with my second child. Has anyone else got a bump at 5 weeks

I don’t like this feeling of the last 3 weeks. My stomach feels hard as a rock and red at night, I have leg pain and back pain all while I’m taking care of 2 toddlers. I feel so… DONE. I wish I can just have the baby already. I see people already welcoming theirs before due date and help but wish it was me.

Babymoon

Where are people going on their babymoon? Is everyone doing it? I feel a bit anxious to go to another country and what if something goes wrong. 🤞

Not sure how I feel about announcing 3rd baby… any one else felt this way?

So I’m now 10.5 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby. My 12 week scan is booked in for the week after next.

My first two children are twins a boy and girl so most people probably think we’re not going to have anymore. Also my daughter is SEN and non verbal at age 3. Our son had a speech delay but now is a very chatty toddler and has completely caught up 😊.

Anyway I’ve only told my mum and sister that I’m pregnant and no one else knows. I can’t help but feel we will get some negativity with announcing this one.

We don’t ask for help.. never ask for baby sitters. I stay at home with my twins and they go to nursery twice a week and my partner works full time. The only person who occasionally looks after the twins is my mum for the odd appointment and we are ok financially.

The older I get though the more bitter people seem to be in general which I don’t think is personal but people just seem like that these days. We did have some negativity with my twins which was odd as I was 30 and in a stable relationship 😅

How was it when you announced your 3rd? Did anyone else feel this way?
