My BD is the spawn of the devil

I got called a fat c***t on the phone yday because I wouldn’t ease up on his shitty behaviour and refuse to let him slide. Bearing in mind I’m 6 months pregnant. 🤷‍♀️ I will never in my life talk to him again. I’m done.

Oh my goodness this week has not been what I had expected. Went to my regular ob appointment Monday morning and delivered my sweet baby girl by Monday evening via c section.

Announcing pregnancy’s 🩷🩵

When did you announce your pregnancy? Are you not announcing? Is there a right time? Personally myself - I am in my second pregnancy and almost half way now but we announced our first baby early in pregnancy and unfortunately lost our baby so I’m unsure if I even want to announce this time around and my family and...

Early babies!!!

I'm seeing so many babies being born earlier in October. Any words of wisdom or generous tips to share that might have helped baby come early? Sincerely, mother who is desperate for pregnancy to be over 🫣🤭🤣

Pregnant again 😳

FTM, almost 9 months postpartum and I just found out I’m pregnant again. We had a really hard time getting pregnant with our 1st so we kind of wanted to try again ASAP because we knew that I was most fertile but we didn’t actually try just random lovey times lol. We are so happy but super shocked at the same time we...

Anyone else nervous about being pregnant again after just giving birth?

I had my second baby June 21st and just tested on Sunday and found out I’m pregnant again 😓 I’m so nervous but excited at the same time. Two under two is definitely gonna be a challenge.

Working out

Hi, I’m 15 weeks and was strength training 2 years prior to getting pregnant so I’ve continued since getting pregnant (albeit less times per week and lower weights than usual)! I’ve noticed a sudden drop in my strength and was wondering if this is normal?! I’m still going 2-3 times per week so wasn’t expecting such ...

20wk scan!

Finally! I don’t have anyone to share this with but found out that our 3rd baby is… A GIRL! I’m so over the moon 🥹 I cried happy tears when hubby opened the envelope. Side note: I correctly guessed 3/3 pregnancies - anyone else correctly guess theirs?

Baby weekend?

I feel like this weekend baby may be here. There is supposed to be a super moon Thursday and I heard there is gonna be a drop in environment pressure. I want my baby to stay longer but okay if he shows up. Any other moms feel like it might happen for them?

STMs how are you handling the emotions of your final solo weeks with your first 😭

It just hit me the other day - I only have 3 more weeks of just me and my first boy. My sweet 4 year old that’s a total mama’s boy. I have to admit, I’ve been pretty clingy and have fallen down the slippery slope of letting him come in to bed with us for a few minutes in the morning to get some snuggles in…I know th...

Mothers Intuition

I’m coming up to full term, but does anyone feel like they are going to pop before their due date or am I just getting impatient? 🤣 Out of pure curiosity, mums who have given birth earlier than your due date, did you have any signs and symptoms leading up to it? Did you have an intuition? Everyone keeps saying…
