Overwhelming jealousy

Anyone else experiencing overwhelming jealousy when they see posts about people being pregnant with their second child so close to having their first? It still hasn’t happened for us and the smaller age gap I was envisioning for my children is fading away.

Due date Oct.17th

I have a serious concern/question. I am currently 34 weeks 4 days pregnant. With my first child I went into labor at 39weeks 4 days. My question or concern is what were to happen or would it be bad if my second child doesn’t come around the same time? Like I’ve heard some women go into labor between now and 40 wee...

Random excitement for milestones

My health visitor said that at the end of the month, we can start with baby porridge and baby rice. I have just ordered my daughters highchair and I'm now super excited for her to just sit in the highchair for the first time! If it wasn't already obvious I'm a first-time mum and so all of baby's firsts are my first...

What would you tell your 39 week pregnant self?

September mum here. 39 weeks today with baby #2. Feeling totally exhausted and hugely emotional. Desperate to enjoy these final days/weeks with my daughter, but my body is screaming at me to do nothing! Does anyone have any advice or tips they’d give to their heavily pregnant past self for these long slow weeks? ❤️

Have you any more babies after your October '22 baby? What's it like?

I know I want one more, my almost 2 year old is my first. I always said that when she turns 4 or 5, we can have another. But at the same time, do I really want to start over?? I've always been scared of back to back babies, but now I'm kind of scared to wait any longer 🥴
