Serial tester

Anyone else a serial tester? 🙈😅 This is my 4 pregnancy, got 1 wee girl at home. Super anxious and cautiously excited 🥹❤️

I’m sorry but it feels like this pregnancy is going very fast! 🫠

How I am 4 months pregnant in 2 weeks and only have 5 months left! It feels like yesterday I only found out! I don’t remember my first going this quick.

She’s here just over a week early…🩷

She’s here, just over a week early!
Baby girl arrived 25th of March, I was due on 2nd of April🩷

A special thanks to clary sage oil and pumping colostrum, which I think started labour off, waters broke in the middle of the night 😳

And for all the Mamma’s expecting their second wondering if and how they will love their second the same as their first. You do, your heart doubles in size 🥰and use the sadness and anxiety you feel about leaving your first as your strength and power to get through💪🏼

You have got this, good luck all❤️

August babies

I feel a lot of women who are having a kid in August are having boys!!! 👦 💙 I am

pregnant mommas!!

any mommas that are currently pregnant, how are your ‘23 kiddos taking it?

postpartum confidence

20mos postpartum and I’m stronger than I was pre-baby! I can’t believe I had spent DAYS mourning my old body during pregnancy, I love this version of me so much more

Birth plans 📝

What’s everyone doing for their birth plans? I’m 21 and a half weeks and could use some inspiration. 🫶🏼

What's the best reaction you've had?

What's the best reaction to someone finding out your pregnant? At the moment tied for first place is...
my dad...
Me: we're having a baby
Dad: that's great news. Well we need to finish plastering that playroom then.
He then locked himself in baby's playroom for an hour refusing to let me come in incase I breathed in the dust.

A child with special needs that I work with (this child always brings a doll to school)...
Child: so you're having a baby?
Me: yes
Child: and you're going to look after it?
Me: yes
Child: then how come my baby's on the floor under the desk.

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!!!

Intros

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.

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 ☺️
