What would you tell your 39 week pregnant self?

September mum here. 39 weeks today with baby #2. Feeling totally exhausted and hugely emotional. Desperate to enjoy these final days/weeks with my daughter, but my body is screaming at me to do nothing! Does anyone have any advice or tips they’d give to their heavily pregnant past self for these long slow weeks? ❤️

Announcing on social media

Is it too early to post an announcement of pregnancy on social media? I will be 10 weeks 2 days tomorrow. I have told all my family, bestfriend and work. I don't really mind people knowing since I'm super excited but I do always have the worry that I'm going to share early and something could still happen. I did tak...

Have you any more babies after your October '22 baby? What's it like?

I know I want one more, my almost 2 year old is my first. I always said that when she turns 4 or 5, we can have another. But at the same time, do I really want to start over?? I've always been scared of back to back babies, but now I'm kind of scared to wait any longer 🥴

Baby is here!

Had my baby yesterday via induction due to hypertension! He is beautiful and healthy! Laboring was hard but so worth it in the end! I made it one day before his due date! Stay strong mommas that are planning to get induced soon or waiting to give birth!

When does it start to feel real?

This may sound so silly, but does anyone else feel like you are going to be pregnant forever? Like it’s just mind blowing this that there is actually a human growing in there? Like when I think of giving birth, I think of other people giving birth, or seeing it in films. But I really can’t picture it actually happen...

100% effaced and 3cm dialted. How's everyone else?

At my 36 w appointment yesterday I was fully effaced and 3cm dilated so baby could come at any time but could also be a a few more weeks. Hubby took his vacation time starting the 26th for 4 weeks so hopefully baby boy holds up until then. How's everyone else doing? 🤔

Announcement

I know it's early, but has anyone been thinking about announcement ideas? Have you told anyone yet? We haven't told anyone yet, and I don't plan on it for a little while, but it's exciting to think about announcing to friends and family!
