Community Posts, Tips & Support on First Trimester

How soon did you start (after your second was born) leaving the house together? Just you and your 2 under 2? What was the first thing you did together? I have to take both of my LO's to their doctor appointments alone and I'm so nervous about it lol One is getting vaccinated and the other is getting bloodwork ...

Pack your bags and get your stuff done early Just in case! Went into labor at 36 w 5days on Sunday August 11th, FTM and was at the hospital by 8:45am and delivered by 10:49am. Labor started for me around 4am and I wasn’t even sure if it was real or Braxton hicks. My daughter came so fast that I had to go all natural...

Had my princess early at 38 weeks + 5 days on Tuesday afternoon (the 14th)! My labour was around 7 hours, with the birth part around 30 mins! Things got slightly hectic with me tearing and losing blood and passing out! Buttttt! Im so happy she’s here and I’m at home in my bed with my lil Ki-laïa with me. Born 7.6lbs...

My due date was yesterday 8/16/2024 but little man is taking his time. I’m set to be induced on Monday 8/19. This is my first pregnancy but after having to see the high risk doctor a few times in the beginning I’m surprised we’ve made it full term. Anyone else gone past their due date?

When did everyone else / plan to announce their baby? Even though I’m only 6 weeks, I feel like I’m not “properly pregnant” and comments like ‘it’s still early days’ and it’s ‘very early on’ I find upsets me and gets me down. We have told close friends and parents but I don’t want to announce to too many people pr...

Our lovely girl arrived happy as larry considering my waters broke at 32+4!! Birth started off super chill (epidurals are AMAZING!) but did turn scary and ended in an attempted vontuse, but successful forceps and episiotomy. As an anxious person who doesn’t have a great time with changes, even though things had to h...

I’m 8 weeks tomorrow and already have a bump!! I feel I can’t hide it for much longer but I’m not ready for everyone to know yet. With my first, I didn’t show until 26 weeks and now I already look bigger.

Anyone else?

Yes I already have a child, yes I’ve already been induced and have had an epidural before but it’s been 5 years. It doesn’t make it any less nerve wrecking. Please send good vibes, thoughts, and prayers because my anxiety is through the roof. I go in Monday to have our little man 🖤

So anxious waiting for hubby to come home 🥹🤭

Hey mamas! How did you announce your pregnancies to your partners and or family members? I’ll start! With my first I told my husband over the phone while he was at work. I wish I’d waited until he got home so I could’ve surprised him with a cute “I’m pregnant” display and share the moment with him. With this bein...

So I had my daughter at 9:30 on Friday morning after a 12 hour labour all in all. After a “failed sweep” on Tuesday my waters went Thursday 9pm and labour progressed from there. Couldn’t have wished for a better vbac hoping you all get the birth you want and hope for 🥰❤️.

The internet seems to be completely torn. One website will say it starts at 13 weeks. Another right under it says 14 weeks. Then the next says 13 weeks. And so on! I’m 13 weeks tomorrow and I just want to be in the second trimester already!

Baby number 3 really said “ Hi how are you doing” lol. I thought I popped fast with my second, nope I really popped with 3.

My family and I thought that we were for sure pregnant with a girl this time but we’re here with our second boy 😳 as someone who only grew up with a sister this whole experience is so alien but so fun to experience and learn about lol 🤣

I actually cannot believe how quick this pregnancy has gone! I had a growth scan today and baby boy is measuring at 2lb 11oz he’s just above the 10th centile 25.7 to be exact! Anyone else feel like it’s going super fast? I do have 2 other children a 3yo & 13m old girls!

Does anyone else get in bed at night and wonder if this will be your last baby, I have a toddler and my nearly one year old and honestly would have another but deep down I know she should be my last 😅

Ugly cried? Yes. I’ve always wanted a girl after my two boys and now I have her. And a little boy too. My heart is full already. 🩵🩷 I hope you all get your results soon!

So are we just supposed to gaslight ourselves for the next month telling ourselves every symptom is a sign of labor happening soon, only for days to go by and we’re still waiting for baby time? 😅🫠 Ugh! T-minus 28 days (or less)! 🤞🎀

Officially having an August baby. Original due date was 9/9 but due to gestational hypertension a induction date of 8/20 was scheduled. Baby is doing good! Just feeling sad my pregnancy is coming to an end. Overall I had a beautiful pregnancy but its time to transition her to earth side ✨
