Just did my NIPT test! 😇

10 weeks and 5 days! While I was there for bloodwork, my OB wasn’t busy so she was like “let’s just have a full appointment!” And she let me hear babies heartbeat again, 170 ♥️ Soooo much higher than my sons ever was! Strong little baby in there 🥰♥️🙏🏻

Dropped/Engaged?

35+4 and not had baby ‘drop’ yet. Last midwife appt said baby was still free and not engaged at all. Anyone else still not engaged? Seeing lots about how much pressure people are feeling etc and getting down that it doesn’t seem anything is happening for me yet…

6 weeks PP

Gosh…I love my daughter so much and the time is flying by. I actually adore being a mom and having a little baby to take care of. My body feels like my own again and although nursing has been a challenging journey, it seems I may have begun to find my way. 🥰

Anyone else going to have 2 under 2? How are you feeling about it?

When this baby is born I will also have an 18 month old. This was planned and we wanted a small age gap but looking after my little one while tired and nauseous is making me worry about how difficult it will be when the next one arrives 😅

Heavily pregnant birthday

Not baby related but I'll be 37 weeks pregnant on my birthday on Saturday and just looking for any suggestions on something I could do? Not planned anything as feel like at this stage I could go into labour at anytime

Family planning

We have a 14 month old daughter. How do you know when you’re done having kids? I feel in my heart I want 3 but my husband is set on two. Financially it makes the most sense for our next baby to be our last. But that kind of hurts my heart. How do / did you know when your last baby is your last?

Struggling 😢

Anyone else really struggling - my pregnancy with my little girl who is 2 was lovely. This one is really kicking my butt and I honestly feel so down and poorly. I’m only 6 weeks and a few days and im struggling😢

Anyone else pregnant and finding themselves breaking all of their own rules for their October babes? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m not a strict mum at all but I do try to keep screen time low and meals relatively healthy. Todays toddler dinner: A greggs sausageroll with a side of cucumber to ease the mum guilt 🤦🏻‍♀️

When do you start buying stuff?

Second pregnancy with my first I started buying baby bits around 5/6 months!! And even with this I’m thinking around 6/7months i will start to buy stuff. No idea why! But I just get anxious buying stuff earlier on! Hate thinking this way!

Prepare for second HG pregnancy.

I am wanting to get pregnant again in about a year and wondering if there is anything people did to prepare for an HG pregnancy. I know it is incredibly common to have HG the second time around too and I am absolutely terrified. Wondering if there is any extra supplementation you did or tips to make it not as bad.

Anyone else keeping their pregnancy secret?

How are you keeping it secret? I am 20 weeks and hiding my pregnancy from family and friends with loose clothing. I already have a toddler, this is my second pregnancy.

Nursery😫😫😫

When are we starting to view nursery’s ladies?! Makes me so sad that I think I already need to start looking he’s only 9 weeks old :( but with the free hours apparently I’ve heard people viewing them before they even give birth because of waiting lists! Does this make anyone else really sad or just me hahaha I don’t...

Broody

Anyone else literally sitting with their baby and thinking of having another already 😅 if you're one/two and done did you actually feel done or just decide to be. My third is 2 months old and I just don't feel done.
