Feeling like I’m not doing enough? 2nd baby

Pregnant with my 2nd and everyone keeps asking what names we have in mind, what we’ve bought, what pictures we’ve took…and I just feel like I’m struggling to keep up this time. Time is flying by and I feel like I should be doing more but also don’t know where to start? Anyone else feel the same?

I’m pregnant with my 2nd and honestly I’ve not felt rushed to buy anything, I sometimes lose count how many weeks I am. She has a name but that’s because shes named after my nan

I'm pregnant with my second boy and still have everything from my first so haven't had to buy anything and haven't even discussed names.
Time is just going way to quickly and my time is just spent on either working or my toddler so just forget I'm pregnant most of the time 😂

I think you're definitely more chill when it comes to your second. I am anyway 😂 between working and chasing a toddler occasionally I'm like oh wow we are actually having another baby

It’s completely normal to feel less interested in the process the second time around, you simply have more on your mind! A nesting instinct will kick in at some point

I'm pregnant with my 2nd too, I've barely taken photos this time and often forget I'm pregnant at all 😂 I've bought one thing for this baby so far too. I'm due mid march so planning to dig out all of the stuff from number one in the new year. At this point I'm just surviving with a toddler 😂

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
