As the end of summer approaches is anyone else feeling a bit meh about having a baby in the depths of winter? I hate the darkness in the UK anyway, and just imagining being sleep deprived and thrown into new born chaos while it’s cold, wet and dark is making me a bit worried. My partner works away four days a week s...

Just found out I’m expecting baby number 2 unexpectedly. LG will my just over 3 when baby is born. My girl is SO much of a mummy’s girl, still such a Velcro kid I just can’t even imagine her being ok with me having to split myself between two children or how I will cope. Please tell me it’ll be ok. Feeling so many ...

😫beyond fed up now, get this baby out 🥹 shout out to all the mummas still waiting

I absolutely was not ready for this to happen!! Our Goldie girl at 5 days old vs 9 weeks old 🥺 I loved this group during my pregnancy, it felt like a bit of a family with us all going through it together. What are all your babies looking like now compared to their first few days? I hope you’re all getting on okay 🫶🏻

What cute way did u tell ur hubby that u r pregnant? We also have a young toddler, so it would fun to incorporate her but not necessary. With our 1st I did a word scramble / scavenger hunt. He loves word games. Feel like he would know right away if I did something similar.

Hey lovely pregant women! First time mum at 38 and 16 weeks pregnant. I read baby has developed hearing and to start talking to my bump but I feel so awkward and don't know what to say... Anyone else experiencing the same? I'm in Caterham area. Please feel free to send a message. :)

Hello pregnant ladies who have already got a toddler/child….wondered how quickly you started to show second time round? My son is 3 and I’m only 7 weeks pregnant but already my clothes feel tight!! At a family event on the weekend, someone asked a family member whether I was pregnant 😬

Hiya 👋 how did you guys know you were ready for baby number 2? My little girl is nearly 3 and I’m starting to get broody 😂 just watching her interact with our friends baby is giving me the new baby itch but I had a high anxiety pregnancy and did not enjoy being pregnant and I really struggled post partum. Any…

How did you know labour was close with your second baby? I know you don't have to be engaged to have your second baby but I'm wondering what signs you had in the weeks leading up to labour on your second babies? So many small things are making me think I don't have long left😭

Hi y'all, 29 + 2 days here. Just wondering if anyone has already had Braxton Hicks contractions? I haven't, but I heard that some women get them as early as the second trimester... is it normal that I haven't?

Finally got my dye stealer at 4 weeks 3 days pregnant! I am an excessive tester and can’t stop like with my daughter. When I don’t have too many symptoms the testing helps ease my anxiety a little bit. Anyone else?🥹 I am SO EXCITED to be pregnant again!!!! What are everyone’s due dates? Mine is April 27th!! I…

Whyyyyy is it so hard to wait 🤣 two weeks seems to fly by in general, I mean we are nearly in September!!

Hi Ladies, my water broke this morning 🤗 2 days after my due date and wowzas it was like Niagra Falls! Been to the hospital and they sent me home for labour to start. How long did everyone deliver after your waters breaking? I can hardly wait! Xx

Hi friends! Just found out I am pregnant AGAIN! My baby is now 7 months. I have no idea what to expect or what to even do. What’s some experienced mamas advice!?! I am excited they are close in age but also terrified of caring for a 1 year old while pregnant!!

Wow, finally full term. Still kind of in denial; no signs of labor in sight 🥲hoping he comes sometime this week into next week. Officially due the 29th. Bouncing on this ball EVERY DAY & hoping for something besides pressure & the occasional braxton hicks. I’ll be super disappointed if this little dude comes…

First day of stims and feeling all the emotions. Is anyone on a similar timeline to me?! Sending you all baby dust ✨

Why am I still pregnant! 🙄😂 I feel so deflated and annoyed like I know “she’ll come when she’s ready” but I’ve been ready and she’s late ! My son was 6 days early! 👶🏽 Some have words with the baby in my belly and explain to her that her mum is tired or receiving “is she here yet” texts. Good news is my iron…

So my best friend just had her baby last night (39+6) and my sister is in labour now (40w today). I’ve told them both I’m so jealous. I’m just wanting it to be over already 😂 I hate being pregnant. It sucksssss. But I’m in for a growth scan today as she’s gone from the 80th centile to the 50th. I don’t really pay…
