Only took almost 2 years! But I’m pregnant with our rainbow baby!!!🥰 I can’t tell anyone so I’m telling you guys lol

Advice on second baby , when is the right time to start trying my daughter is going to be 1 next week and want advice on when to start trying for a second when is the right time and good amount of age gap between the 2 I would like to have a boy as then I have 1 of each but I’m happy either way I just would like 2 children just really scared. ! , as not to blow my own trumpet but the pregnancy went well with her i had a planned c section and that was all fine no complications or any problems, she was healthy and all fine and she’s just been the best baby she has slept for 12 hours a night from the age of 2 months she’s eating well she’s just perfect I’m just worried about the next baby the pregnancy or the birth something will be wrong or something could happen . Advice please and your own experiences

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!

Chances of pregnancy?

What are my chances of pregnancy from yesterday? We may or may not try again.

Postpartum Stories 💐

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵

What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?

The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?

I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.

The audacity 🤣

I am pregnant with baby number two. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant along with having a three year-old boy. My fiancé had the audacity to tell me that he wants to get me pregnant again next year when I’m already going to have our second son in January of next year. 🤣 I told this man straight up hell naw I’m already going to have a baby along with a toddler. Do you really think I wanna be pregnant in the same year I gave birth to our second child give me a chance to feel like my body is my own again damnit 🤣😭🤣. I thought it was funny. I just had to share this.

Anyone who had placental insufficiency!

Just got diagnosed and freaking out. 35+3

A bit scared

I'm a Lil scared to give birth again.... this is my second pregnancy 😬

2 Under 2!!

Can anyone give any advice on what it’s like going from one to two? My boy is 1 and I’m pregnant and panicking about not wanting him to feel left out but also wanting to give enough attention to my other baby!

Anyone else miss that magical feeling of being pregnant & giving birth?

I wish I could go back to those days of having midwife appointments & scans & even giving birth, I loved it all. Baby is now a month old & those feelings have worn off & im just tired & stressed & emotional all the time. Which is weird because when I was pregnant, these were the days I was dreaming of. But now I’m dreaming of those days again. The buildup & excitement.

How's your nursery progress going?

I told myself I wanted to wait to start it because I finished way too early with my son and had nothing to do in my late second and third trimester. So, I started around 20 weeks and planned to have it most of the way finished by my baby shower. Baby shower is next weekend, the nursery is not nearly finished, and I went it there with every intention to get shit done yesterday and ended up just sitting in the rocking chair for an hour lol. Third trimester fatigue is real.

Labour/birth

Did anyone just have a feeling that they were going to go into spontaneous labour and then did that same day? If that makes sense 😂

I keep having a feeling that today is the day but I'm trying to not get hopes up as it's probably nothing 😂

7 More Days Until Baby Month 🥳

What have you mamas or mamas to be have been doing to keep the time going? Has anyone tried dates yet? Dancing? Walking? Hobbies? These last few weeks are exciting exhausting but boring sometimes bc I don’t know what else to do 😩

Did you/will you take your 2 year old out of nursery when your second baby arrived?

I feel bad leaving my October 2024 baby in nursery 2 days a week, when I'll be off on mat leave from mid December for my late Dec/early Jan baby. But time alone with baby might be good for us?

Did/will you have yours home with you or continue their usual nursery/childcare routine?

Second trimester 🥳

Any guesses? 🩷💙 I don’t think you can see anything in this photo though 🤣

Finally packed 🥳 but still no date?

Today I have finally packed my hospital bags 👏🏼 38 weeks on Monday and 3rd baby so a bit late but I’m due a planned c section at 39 weeks although I still don’t have a date and im stressing.

Really don’t want to go into natural labour myself before and end up in an emergency section. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is anyone else still waiting for a date??
