Labour/birth

Did anyone just have a feeling that they were going to go into spontaneous labour and then did that same day? If that makes sense 😂

I keep having a feeling that today is the day but I'm trying to not get hopes up as it's probably nothing 😂

How's your nursery progress going?

I told myself I wanted to wait to start it because I finished way too early with my son and had nothing to do in my late second and third trimester. So, I started around 20 weeks and planned to have it most of the way finished by my baby shower. Baby shower is next weekend, the nursery is not nearly finished, and I went it there with every intention to get shit done yesterday and ended up just sitting in the rocking chair for an hour lol. Third trimester fatigue is real.

7 More Days Until Baby Month 🥳

What have you mamas or mamas to be have been doing to keep the time going? Has anyone tried dates yet? Dancing? Walking? Hobbies? These last few weeks are exciting exhausting but boring sometimes bc I don’t know what else to do 😩

Did you/will you take your 2 year old out of nursery when your second baby arrived?

I feel bad leaving my October 2024 baby in nursery 2 days a week, when I'll be off on mat leave from mid December for my late Dec/early Jan baby. But time alone with baby might be good for us?

Did/will you have yours home with you or continue their usual nursery/childcare routine?

Finally packed 🥳 but still no date?

Today I have finally packed my hospital bags 👏🏼 38 weeks on Monday and 3rd baby so a bit late but I’m due a planned c section at 39 weeks although I still don’t have a date and im stressing.

Really don’t want to go into natural labour myself before and end up in an emergency section. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is anyone else still waiting for a date??

Pregnancy after 35

For anyone that has been or is pregnant after 35 can you give me the good the bad the ugly lol I had a baby at 33 and I’m contemplating one last but feel I’ll be too old is it true ?!?

Next baby??

Had my first baby in early June 2025 and starting to think about the next one! Anyone else?

Have you got your changing bag ready yet or you waiting til baby is here?

Can’t remember when I got it ready with my first!

Successful first outing!

Today I decided to go on a grocery run with my 5 month old! Didn’t feel like waiting for hubby this evening haha. It was super successful as I prepared beforehand for our little trip! 🙏🏼 🎀🤍

Early bump but second pregnancy

Hi mummies I’m currently pregnant with my second child. Has anyone else got a bump at 5 weeks

Second babies

Okay due my second any time now!

Due October 9th.

I don’t like this feeling of the last 3 weeks. My stomach feels hard as a rock and red at night, I have leg pain and back pain all while I’m taking care of 2 toddlers. I feel so… DONE. I wish I can just have the baby already. I see people already welcoming theirs before due date and help but wish it was me.

Babymoon

Where are people going on their babymoon? Is everyone doing it? I feel a bit anxious to go to another country and what if something goes wrong. 🤞

Not sure how I feel about announcing 3rd baby… any one else felt this way?

So I’m now 10.5 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby. My 12 week scan is booked in for the week after next.

My first two children are twins a boy and girl so most people probably think we’re not going to have anymore. Also my daughter is SEN and non verbal at age 3. Our son had a speech delay but now is a very chatty toddler and has completely caught up 😊.

Anyway I’ve only told my mum and sister that I’m pregnant and no one else knows. I can’t help but feel we will get some negativity with announcing this one.

We don’t ask for help.. never ask for baby sitters. I stay at home with my twins and they go to nursery twice a week and my partner works full time. The only person who occasionally looks after the twins is my mum for the odd appointment and we are ok financially.

The older I get though the more bitter people seem to be in general which I don’t think is personal but people just seem like that these days. We did have some negativity with my twins which was odd as I was 30 and in a stable relationship 😅

How was it when you announced your 3rd? Did anyone else feel this way?

Little bean

Went for a scan yesterday to see if there could be a chance of getting pregnant and in the smallest bubble ever we see this…..

Have another scan in a week to see how bean is progressing!!

Hope everyone is happy! Congratulations everyone 💕

Pregnancy

Has anyone else got pregnant again since having their baby in December? I’m scared about such a close age gap

The things ur not looking Foward to this pregnancy!!

I Love having a baby and adding a new addition to my family of course that brings joy to my heart ♥️ however their are things us moms don’t want to repeat or look forward to like for me the teething stage lord I don’t want to deal with that , catching bad colds , the sleepless nights and endless feeding sessions what do u guys not look Foward to this pregnancy it’s ok to be open and honest this is a age space we don’t judge ????
