I couldn’t wait.

My birthday is tomorrow and there is a lot of pressure to make #2 happen asap due to age. I knew I shouldn’t test so early but I had hope. I am 6 dpo and my app says I should test 10/30 at 10 days with an early test. Please tell me I’m too early and go not give up hope. Been feeling all the symptoms.

Yay!

Just a little celebration! We finally got our delivery of everything we ordered back in August. Got all our nursery furniture plus our travel system and the next to me crib. We've just finished putting it all together! Exhausted but feeling glad it is now done! 🥳 30 weeks today so 10 weeks to go (give or take!)

Sad :(

10DPO and 2 BFN’s. I’ve had the most sore boobs and nausea these last few days I was convinced. How long did it take you to fall pregnant with your second?

6 weeks early!

Isaac is here! 🩵 My due date was Nov. 28 so very unexpected delivery but soaking up all of the extra weeks of cuddles and newborn sweetness. Hoping for a short NICU stay. Excited for all of the mamas who still have yet to meet their precious little babes 🥰

Baby no.2

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with baby no.2. Feeling very weird about it! We weren’t trying but had been talking about when we should try again (were thinking about January time). I just can’t believe it as it was outside of my fertile window?! Maybe I’m being stupid with that but I didn’t think it was possible...

Any pregnant brides-to-be here?

It wasn’t on the cards to get pregnant before my wedding, but here we are 😂! Of course I’d already lost weight and bought a fishtail dress too 😂 I’ll just have to stare at the champagne tower from afar. I’ll be about 5 months for my wedding. Wondered if anyone else is in a similar situation? (Disclaimer I’m…

Leaving baby for 1st time

Next weekend, it's possible I'll have to leave my baby for a few hours (with her dad, my partner) bur even so, I'm so anxious to be apart form her. She'll be 6 weeks, nearly 7. When did everyone leave their babies for the first time and how did you know you felt okay doing it?

Thought it was braxton hicks .. was in active labour!

I posted yesterday (incognito) about whether braxton hicks could be regular all day or not. Went to triage for a different reason and mentioned I had been having period pains all day getting worse. It started that afternoon with lower backache and constant mild period pain. Then by early evening the period pain s...

Did you ignore text messages for a while after giving birth (people trying to see baby)

I feel I’m going to get overwhelmed and really just want to spend time with my baby after. I also have never given birth so don’t know how I will feel. This makes me want to change my number for a month for peace of mind but I guess I can just answer when I’m ready despite how anyone might feel.
