I’ve been nesting like crazy, I still have to pack my bag but I washed all his clothes! Went to the doctor yesterday and they said I’m already 4cm so speaking it’s even quicker than my last labor 😂 I’m exhausted but the nesting has been given me nice little burst of energy to get stuff done!

Hi I am almost 10 weeks pregnant. Only me and hubby know. Which is hard to keep the secret as naturally you want to share information with your loved ones. Has anyone announced their pregnancy to other family members yet? X

Leaving this group as my September baby couldn’t wait and decided he wanted to be a July baby instead. Wasn’t the pregnancy or birth I was anticipating but baby boy is here and that is the main thing. Low lying placenta caused a lot of issues for me, including extreme blood loss which resulted in c-section needing ...

My baby girl was due 28th June, but arrived safely on the 8th July 🩷 good luck to all the mamas who have started their motherhood journey or are waiting to embark on theirs soon 🫶🏼

Hi mamas, I have two children and my partner and I have just started to ttc baby number three. I want to surprise him with the news once we conceive. I’m just wondering how I can go about surprising him since he may be expecting the news with us actively trying. Especially if we conceive this month. (With my las...

I want to start nesting and getting my baby’s things together sooo badly, but I know it’s still considered “early” for that (I’ll be 24 weeks tomorrow) I’ve just been staring at her clothes, car seat, and bassinet 😂. My mom keeps saying “you need to wait! everything is gonna get dusty!” 🙄 I cannot be the only one 😂.

Hi all, I’m hoping you will share your positive experiences and ‘just wait until’s in the comments😊 My husband uses Reddit a lot and is constantly seeing negative posts in the parenting subreddit about parents regretting kids, saying their lives are ruined, the ‘just wait until…’ comments that are so truly…

Does anyone else feel like they’re endlessly waiting to meet their baby? I’m 39+2 and aside from a bit of light cramping yesterday I’ve had no signs what so ever, baby is far too comfortable. I know I should be enjoying this time before my life changes completely but I’m so ready for baby to be out!

Hey everyone! Found out I’m 4-5 weeks today. Woke up feeling extremely sick and realised I was 3 days late so I done a test and it was positive straight away. Very scared as just over a month ago I had a miscarriage around this time. Hoping this baby will stay with me🩷

I’m devastated. Due date today. Had no signs. Went for a sweep and they couldn’t do it due to cervix being closed. Got another booked for Sunday, then Tuesday. I’m just so sad that he’s not here.
