Absolutely terrified but so excited to meet my little girl and finally be a family, So exciting to be a mum 🥺

Omg nervous! Mainly about birth! When are you due!!! I’m due on the 02/01 are you organised! I’m hearing so much & seeing loads on TikTok about induction recently which has put me off, have you?!

@Lynds its such a strange feeling isnt it! When are you due?

@Stephanie Bridge yes! And babies just keep coming early! Im due on the 3rd shes currently a little bit too small and when Ive looked into it, its made me worry that they might want to induce me because of that! I have a scan again next friday. Today her pushchair, car seat and next to me cot came. Ive done all her washing i just need to sort her room out and get my partner to move a few bits as well as build her cots. I was thinking of packing my hospital bag next week. Are you prepared?xx

I keep seeing loads of babies coming early too! Maybe it’s our algorithm 😂 oh yeah I’ve heard that they induce sometimes when they are a little too small! But you have so much time yet for her to grow! How much is she weighing? Don’t worry! I’m having a girl and she’s 4.9 pounds apparently! I have no idea if that’s a lot or normal! they didn’t really say! I’m gonna get my hospital bag ready back end of this week maybe or weekend! x x

Scared! Baby #3 due in 10 weeks. 1 was fun, 2 ok, but I'm not sure how I do a newborn, 2 year old and 4 year old (not at school)... any tips appreciated.

Baby number two and kinda nervous. I didn’t have the best first experience but this time I’m planning to have a home birth so hoping all goes to plan 🤞🏼 hope you have a speedy safe delivery when the time comes 🩷 I’m due on 6th so not long after you!

Absolutely terrified! Starting to wonder if I can actually handle this whole mumming business! But I'm also excited to finally be able to hold my little boy, I just need to get my 💩 together and get organised!

@Stephanie Bridge when did you find out her weight?? Mine was only weighing 3.6 pounds obviously i googled it which says its fine but on the grow chart shes literally just sat on the 10th percentile line. I feel 4.9 is nice and healthy especially being due on the 2nd! Xx

@Jo awww bless you i hope it all goes well! Im afraid i dont have any tips to offer but im sure you will figure it out and it will become an ease after a couple of weeks xx

@Chloe aww i hope it all goes well and you have the birth you wish for xx

@Chloe oh bless you! It will come to you especially once he’s here like they say your instincts just kick in! Hope it goes well xx

Thanks. I hope so! As long as I can get some sleep and she's fairly chilled, I'm sure it will all work out!

I feel like 7 weeks feels like forever but also feeling like it's no time at all 🤣. I'm feeling like I have everything and my bags are packed.. so that's made me slightly more chilled. Just wish I knew when she was coming!

@Loren i feel like its going by so fast!! Aw youre very organised is this your first? And it would definitely make life easier if you knew exactly when they were coming wouldnt it😄

Im due the end of January, it is really weird! Almost like its not set in yet that this is real 😅

Yeah, my first, so I'm mostly expecting to be waiting longer! I'm a very organised person and get stressed if I feel there's stuff I need to do, so we've generally been a bit early on everything 🤣

@Loren ahah yes i dont blame you at all though i am the exact same!! I keep giving my partner deadlines to do things by🤣🤣

Hey, I’m 7 weeks from Friday too. 😂❤️

Absolutely bricking it, I've got about 11 weeks to go

I’m super excited for birth and am actually not scared of birth itself and kinda oddly looking forward to it lol. What I’m scared or anxious of is not getting the kind of birth I want (I.e. having to have an induction or a c-section) and that possibly leading to a more difficult recovery. That’s what’s really getting in my head!

I had the most amazing first birth I was so excited the whole way through, this time I’m a nervous wreck but trying to get out of that mindset!🤣 x

@Kirsty aw how come youre nervous this time?xx

I think just because the first time I had absolutely no idea and was able to go with the flow completely! where as now I know and I’m just hoping i do as well this time around so it doesn’t change my view on birth!🤣 x
