I’m hopping on for solidarity with my eager beaver OVERDUE mums 🥵. I am currently 40+5 but my preferences are to decline any sweeps or induction. In France their full term is 41 weeks rather than 40, so you may not be as ‘overdue’ as you think. I was also dated a week later than I had calculated myself so that is…

Hey everyone! I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby so you’d think I wouldn’t be so clueless, yet here we are 😅! I’ve been getting tightenings, waves of tummy and lower back aches and pains, feeling crazy pressure down below (especially at the end of the day), and baby has definitely dropped, for the last week but then it…

This is going to sound really stupid but does anyone else still not believe they’re pregnant despite having a baby wriggling around inside them? I’m 38 weeks and this baby took a long time to conceive and I still even now don’t believe it’s real. She’ll be here next week as I’m having a planned section but it still ...

I have been on a nesting rampage for the past 4 days since the baby shower. I've got so much done and feel like I am almost 100% ready to bring home my baby. Everything is ready to go, our hospital bags are packed, bottles/pacis sterilized, all of his clothes/blankets are washed. I am so ready to meet my little prin...

Today, I have officially had enough. I just want to go into labour, I’m at my actual wits end 🥺 I’d do anything, for anything to happen. I feel really depressed about it & it’s really getting me down. I feel myself being snappy with my kids and my partner ☹️

Did broodiness literally slap anybody else in the face ??? I said to my partner possibly June/early July time that I feel worried that I’ll never feel the broodiness to have a second baby as I haven’t felt even a slight bit of it since our June 2023 baby and he said he’s sure we both will when the time is right but ...

Finally full term!!!! Aargh I can't believe we are here baby girl! After months of chemicals prior to this pregnancy we have finally reached the final stretch and it has not been easy by any means with the GD monitoring blood sugars and 4x daily insulin injections is not for the weak!! Final growth scan and consulta...
