I conceived my 1st on 1st try and now it's been over a year TTC #2. Just wondering if this is common? Blood tests all normal, haven't had a pelvic scan yet. Husband is due to get tested end of this month.

Have you told anyone you’re pregnant yet?

Feeling super deflated now, had my third sweep today at 40+6 with a different midwife as my usual midwife wasn’t working today. This midwife didn’t seem half as enthusiastic about baby arriving soon and has left me feeling like she is literally never going to arrive at this point! Feel like any sort of progression ...

Seriously having self doubt. Constantly got back pain, tiredness overdue. I’m SICK of people telling me to stop complaining over being tired as it’s only going to get hard when baby is here. I don’t feel good enough to be a parent. I can’t do this 😣😢 I’m nearly at the end of seeing my beautiful baby but can’t help…

How long did you all wait to have the next or second child? I hear people say wait till they’re a little older, and others say have them close in age so they can grow up together. Whats your take? Thinking of this also cause i miss my belly and feeling those little (sometimes big) kicks! 🥹😭

How did you guys announce 2nd baby?

Just found out I’m pregnant.. big surprise for me! I already have two kids aged 11 and 7. Does anyone else have kids with a big age gap? I’m scared I’m getting too old for a baby. Hubby is super excited… I’m just scared…

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant after trying for 6 months! Anyone else?

8w3d with baby #2 and I’m already planning out what things I’d like to change this time around especially when it comes to L&D how about you?

I thought I went to work with a jumper on so at the end of work today I decided I was gonna spend 15 minutes looking for a jumper that I never actually check with me and I just didn’t realise it and then I messaged my employer saying baby brain at its finest And we both had a little giggle about that has anyone had ...

Well my actual due date was 11/15 but with a few things going on they will be inducing me at 37 weeks that’s next Friday so I’m kinda excited and nervous….

Just left my weekly check up. She said I was one centimeter dilated and 70% effaced. I’m curious for second time mom’s, how fast you went from 1 cm to 10?

I’m ITCHING to have this baby already!! 3weeks seems like tomorrow but forever 😩🫠

Everyone who I know who was pregnant with me around the same time, has already had their 2nd and some are even on their 3rd. Feel like am on my own with only one at the moment. And the pressure of ‘when are you going to have another one?’ Has started.
