Bit of insomnia fun!

The comfort of the kicks (even if it is on my bladder😂) 🥹🫶🏼

Feeling him move, after 3 miscarriages I've never known what a healthy pregnancy feels like and the anxiety has been horrendous but those moments where I feel and see him moving around in there help bring a little bit of calm

To be fair, this app! I don't really have ✨ a village ✨ and even if a lot of posts are full of random negative Nelly's, the genuine advice I've received on some of my questions have been super valuable.

But yeah, also ever since I've been starting to feel baby movement it's been a weird but wonderful experience, I feel much more connected to my baby and proudly growing a human. Even though I feel like a whale, and I wasn't really feeling the magic of pregnancy the first ~20 weeks

@Holley that's amazing, you're in the home stretch too ✨ have you gotten many extra scans to help with the anxiety? Or just the usual NHS ones?

The kicks and movements for sure - like that feeling you’re never actually alone? I’m sure that’ll wear off at some points but it feels pretty magical. Also the signs and support I’ve already received from my village. I’ve always been very independent and just got on with life, and it’s actually been quite nice to be in a period of freely asking and receiving the help and generosity of others without it feeling like a burden.

@Dominique I've had extra growth scans due to it being a high risk pregnancy then gestational diabetes so I've been able to see him quite regularly 😊

@Holley that is also reassuring! I've also been given extra growth scans and atm im monitoring glucose levels to see if I am at risk to have GD as well. Last scan they just gave me a 4d one 😭

@Dominique ah that's awesome. We had a 4d one done privately which I loved, I've got a great video of him yawning it's so cute. All the other videos and pictures he looks so grumpy but in the most adorable way possible

The movements and new found body confidence! I'm starting to feel massive but love that I've been able to wear things I'd never wear in a million years beforehand, going to miss the bump I think! Hope you're doing okay Zöe 💜 x

Pregnancy body, I love it and will miss my bump 🥹 also just having this wonderful feeling of wellness, I know it’s the hormones but my skin has never been so clear or my eyes so bright and all my previous anxiety has disappeared I’ve felt so calm and happy 😭 I will definitely miss that post baby when inevitably I will shrivel and all the hormones disappear 😂.

My hair being less greasy, so I can wash it less and long, strong pregnancy nails! 💅
