Am I the only unorganised one?

Second time mum here, not packed hospital bag. House currently being decorated so baby room's far from ready. Anyone else? 🫣

Heartbeats!

Just curious what babies heartbeats are at! Mine is 151 and finding out through the blood test what I’m having. Should know next week!!!

Hi everyone and congratulations. How is everyone doing and how far along are you? I am 8w5d with an IVF pregnancy at 43 yo. Still very anxious but having weekly reassurance scans. Not many symptoms, just occasional nausea and had to buy a new bra 😂

Bottomless Pit

I had my 2nd baby on March 8th, and I AM A BOTTOMLESS PIT. Absolutely ravenous. Way hungrier than I ever was while I was pregnant! Tell me I'm not the only one 🥲🙏

Grateful I'm producing a ton of milk, though! Way more than my pregnancy, I need to make more space in my freezer 😅

Over it.

I have officially made it further in this pregnancy than I did with my first. I will be 38 weeks on Sunday and 12 days today until we meet our newest little addition via c section. Who else is over it and ready for a DRINK!!!! being pregnant with a toddler is not for the weak.

When did you go into labour?

I'm 35 weeks and totally freaking out. I feel like baby is going to arrive anyday. So I'm kinda looking for people to comment 37 weeks plus 😅 so I can chill out

2 under 2

I just found out that I’m pregnant again at 15 months postpartum. I’m gonna have another December baby. There’s a very high chance they’ll have the same birthday. I don’t know how to feel right now. I’m turning 22 in a few months. This is gonna be so hard. And I feel bad that I’ll be potentially giving birth when I’m supposed to be celebrating my daughter’s birthday. I don’t want her to feel like an afterthought.

At the hospital!

34 weeks and 4 days

Water broke while I was in bed at 11pm
Now I am here
Taking steroids in the butt
And misoprostol

Due date was supposed to be May 3
Baby will probably have to stay in the nicu
Wish us luck

Feeling guilty on first born

I’m being induced on Friday and I’ve just put my little girl to bed and am so upset that it won’t be just us anymore. Obviously we’re so excited for her new sister but I just feel guilty and sad that things won’t be the same again.

Does anyone else feel like this? 😞😞😞

37 weeks ! 😬

I literally only have two doctor appointments left until I'm supposed to be due . I'm super excited and nervous at the same time, but I went to the doctor and I'm only one centimeter dilated so I'm just curious if any other first time moms gave birth earlier than their due date or is normal to go past your due date ? TIA ☺️

6 months pp

1. I can not believe my baby is 6 months on the 26th :,)
2. When did everyone wait to get pregnant with #2?
3. Did anyone get pregnant at 6 months plans have a vbac? Or a fully successful pregnancy?

I’m in the waiting phase for my second baby

Please comment how far along were you when your baby came. I’m trying to see if I have realistic expectations on when my second baby might come. First came at 39W+1 and I’m currently 38W+1 with my second. I’m hoping she comes at 39W like her brother.

Pregnant!!!!!

I just found out I’m pregnant with my rainbow baby after many miscarriages I have finally been blessed with my little blessing I’m so happy and my and my husband are already thinking about baby names he is over the moon 🥰❤️

When do you tell your other child(ren) about your pregnancy?

This is my second pregnancy and I am wondering when I should start talking to my 2 year old about it. When did you guys share with your kids and what ages were they?

Baby #2 anyone?

Hello, anyone thinking of having another baby now? Or is pregnant after having a May 25 baby?

Positive stories please!

Hey! I’m 40 weeks pregnant with my first baby and all the way through pregnancy, and especially for the last few weeks I’ve felt really really anxious about how much my life is going to change.
My husband and I are obviously beyond excited and the pregnancy was fully planned, but all I ever get told by people are ‘jokes’ like, ‘that’s it now your life is over’ and ‘say goodbye to x, y and z’.
Also all I ever read on forums like this are the negative / hard bits.
Obviously I’m fully aware our life is going to change completely, but hearing nothing but negative things really takes its toll sometimes, and makes me worry that I’m not ready for this - being 40 weeks it’s making me panic about going into labour because that means that it’s the ‘end’ of my life.

So I guess I’d just like some positive thoughts and encouraging words about what’s to come rather than just negative 😇

Thanks guys!

My heart could explode with thankfulness

I just wanna pause and say, I’m so grateful to be in this position. What a blessing and miracle to be chosen to create life. Even though it’s been crazy hard and way more challenging than what I was expecting. I rest in joy knowing that I’m working towards something greater🤍 We can’t wait to meet our baby!
9 weeks going strong🐣🍼💕
