Giving birth!

Hey mamas! I been seeing so many different answers on tiktok so I wanted to ask here. For your first pregnancy when did you actually give birth or when did your water break? Or if you had it broke by the doctor. I’m just nosey but I also wanna be prepared when it happens to me lol. I’m 36 weeks tomorrow!

27 weeks and omg the pain!!!

This is my second pregnancy but I do not remember the pain being as bad as the first! Granted I am a single mother of a two year old and I am also working so that could be apart of the reason! I feel like it’s dragging y’all, I’m so ready for 39 weeks to be here!! And too meet my baby! Anyone else feeling the same?

Last 4 week appointment coming up

My last 4 week appointment coming up next then it’s every 2 weeks !! How exciting 🥰 !!

Feeling behind🥲

Im 33 weeks and 2 days and still haven’t bought anything, I have my baby boy clothes from my first but I haven’t actually purchased anything. My first is in his cot, which converted into like a toddler bed so I don’t have a cot/wardrobe/chest of drawers/next to me. Anyone else just completely unprepared? I thought it would have hit me by now to start doing things but nothing lol🤣

Any Feb mums pregnant again?

How are you all feeling being pregnant and also chasing after our 18 month olds!?

Tell me you’re in the final 4 weeks of pregnancy without telling me…

Dates and raspberry leaf tea mocktail 😂

Anyone else officially less than 1 month til due date?

I’ve had enough

Girls, I’ve had enooooughhhh of being pregnant 😂

Due in 10 days so I could still go 2+ weeks. I also have a 1 year old so I feel like I’ve been pregnant for 3 years.

I know there’s literally nothing I can do but I’m just feeling really sorry for myself today 😂

Baby no2 mummas

Anything different from the first time round?
What will your age gap be?
Have you told anyone yet?
How are you feeling?

Baby dropped

35 weeks today! Deffo feel like baby’s dropped, last midwife app said she’s head down and my last came at 36 + 6 so we’re trying to be prepared as they said there’s more chance of her coming early!
Hips and back are killing me!
Anyone else dropped?

Pregnant again!

We are pregnant with our second baby and although I really want a second baby, mostly for our first baby, I am freaking out. We’ve just hit a sweet spot at 23 months and we’ll be starting over again in 9 months. I thought I’d be more excited but I’m stressed! And my husband feels worried that our relationship will struggle which worries me too.

Just need to get it off my chest and would love to hear from anyone with two or who’s just found out they are pregnant.

When to buy things

So this is my first baby, im so excited to go start buying everything!
I'm 21 weeks, and in my head it's too soon but I'm also stressing about leaving everything too late.
The reason it's too soon is bacause
1. I don't know what I'm doing, I might buy the wrong things and then can't return them
2. I feel like I'm tempting fate, like something bad will happen
3. I don't know what other people are going to buy for her

Do other people think like this?! 😅

Birth 11 days overdue

Posting this to give the overdue girlies some hope!
I was on the list for induction from 10 days overdue. They called at 9 and 10 days, I declined going in both times. I went into labour spontaneously at 41+3 and had my baby boy 12 hours later at 41+4 (born on the day of the solar eclipse and meteor shower - so special). I had started to lose hope because I had my daughter spontaneously at 40+4 in October 2023, but ultimately I trusted my body to bring him earth side when the time was right 🤍 you’ve got this girls.

Anyone else 😂

Reached the part in pregnancy where my oura ring tracks me taking a shower as exercise 😮‍💨😂

Baby boy is here!

Well, life certainly loves to surprise us! 💚

On August 12th, I headed in for my routine 9:45 AM perinatal appointment for gestational diabetes, expecting a standard check-in. When things started taking longer than usual, the doctor gave me the news: my fluid levels were almost completely gone, and it was time. Next thing I knew, they were walking me straight over to Labor & Delivery!

I fought hard for the natural birth I’d hoped for, spending hours trying to work and walk through the contractions. Eventually, I made the call to get an epidural, and thank goodness I did, because Baby C was completely over the waiting game! His heart rate started dropping, and for his safety, we quickly made the decision to move forward with a C-section.

It definitely wasn’t the exact path I had envisioned, but it brought us the ultimate reward. On August 14th at 2:00 PM (5 days ahead of his actual due date) we officially welcomed our sweet, healthy boy into the world at 6 lbs, 2 oz!
Everyone, meet Caius Green 💚💚💚
It was quite the wild experience, but we are so in love and so grateful he’s safely in our arms!

My baby girl is here!

She arrived yesterday, 15th August 2026 via c-section due to baby being breech. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Good luck to all the rest of you that is going to have an August 2026 baby! Also thank you to everyone that has commented, gave me advice on previous posts that I've put on here..

34 weeks today!

I’m 34 weeks today and soooo over being pregnant 😭 obviously I want her to finish cooking but god I am miserable 😩

How did you announce your pregnancy?

I’m looking for cute ideas! This is my last pregnancy, and I want to make the announcement in a cute, creative way that I can remember. My first one wasn’t well thought out, and I kept my second baby secret until the day he was born lol. So I want to remember this one. Give me your ideas. 💖💙

Baby #2

We’ve just found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant. Baby boy was born 4 November 2025 so there’ll be 18 months difference between them (hopefully).

I’m so happy but also so terrified, we didn’t expect it to happen so quickly as we tried for years for our boy.

I’m mainly concerned that I’m not giving my son enough time for it to just be “us”.

Please can I have some positive reassurance 🤍

Any other august mums feel like they’re actually going to be a September mum at this rate ??

I’m sooooo jealous seeing everyone’s beautiful August babies arriving and mine seems to be getting more comfortable by the day🤣my partners friends & family message him daily with “is the baby here yet”. Like nope. Still waiting. I’ve tried absolutely everythingggg. I’m just SO ready to meet my girl now

Pregnant!

Has anyone else found out they’re pregnant since having there little one in January? I have just found out and I cannot get my head around it as this is a complete surprise 😆
