Why do I feel so behind?

I keep seeing posts from you guys saying you're 29/30 weeks and it makes me feel sooooo behind 😅 I'm 26 weeks on Wednesday so not massively behind but I feel like I have a lifetime to go! Due 29th Jan so probably will be a Feb baby anyway

38 weeks today give me all your tips to get this baby out I'm done 🫠😅

Yes I realize baby will come when she's ready and I'm not going to try anything dangerous like caster oil but things like eating pineapple and having sex aren't going to hurt anything. I'm ready to hold my baby in my arms not my pelvis 😆

Second time mums

I’m 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2. People have started guessing I’m expecting and asking me about it. I managed to keep it a secret with my first until I was about 16 weeks!

Just need to share

I just need to share somewhere and I'm not ready to tell anybody I know in person aside from my partner. I found out I'm pregnant today and I'm freaking out (in both good and bad ways! Thrilled but also a little bit terrified) My cycle is super wonky so I actually don't know for sure how far along I am, so I guess n...

Due Date Baby🥰

My little girl is here at last making her appearance on her due date, just like her older sister! Octavia Pearl, 7lb 13oz 🐭 I wanted another water birth but due to having medium in her waters I wasn’t able to so opted for epidural instead as pain relief as this labour was a lot more painful than with my previous…

Anyone else feeling kind of depressed because baby hasn’t come yet and they still have 2-3 weeks left?

I’m 38 weeks today and honestly starting to feel so down that baby boy hasn’t come yet and we can still have another 2-3 weeks until he does… i know there’s time and he will come when he’s ready but i can’t help but feel incredibly sad as the days go by and there’s no labour signs…

Due Nov 17 🥹

anyone have the same due date? I’m feeling so incredibly excited to meet baby & also overwhelmed with all the choices around birth. I’m still somewhat torn between homebirth and hospital birth. I want minimal medical intervention but I am expecting a big baby 🥲 How are yall feeling? What are your birth plans?

Baby’s here!

It’s my turnnnnn! I had a scheduled C-section yesterday and at 1045p Thursday night, my contractions started and were 3 minutes apart. Luckily they were able to stop them with steroid injections and Kyndall Rose Lynn was delivered at 842am Friday morning 🫶🏽😊🥹

Gut feelings?

Seen a fair few early November babies already! I really want my baby to come a bit early (37-39 weeks) due to other bdays/partners work - but the more I want it the more I reckon she’s gonna come late😂😂 she seems pretty comfy in there tbh! Anyone have any gut feeling when their baby will arrive?
