First time ever being pregnant so I’m really new to all of this. I was just wondering why people say they are 7 + 2 pregnant? Sorry if this is a stupid question. First day of my last period was 18th June so I’m a bit confused as to how many weeks I am and what the + means? Thanks in advance 🩷

So 08/2020 I had my daughter during the pandemic and I will be honest I loved how they told me only 1 person can stay which was the dad and that's how it was 08/2022 although it was the pandemic then I still only wanted one person in there and it will be the same for this one as well how do y'all feel do you like a ...

My little girl finally arrived yesterday at 41+3 at 7:34am. Born at home with an 11 hour labour through the night. No interventions, no inductions/sweeps for suspected big baby (which she was but she came out just fine). She weighed 8lb & 14oz and I got away with a 2nd degree tear. I trusted that my babe would come ...

Okay friends. Can we talk about subsequent pregnancies for a sec? Nobody told me(but I kinda deduced lol) that you’d show sooner, and get bigger (it seems lol) with subsequent pregnancies lol (I mean, of course! Your body’s already done this so it knows what to do lol but still! lol) I just took a pic the other da...

I’m having a really tough week and feeling down in the dumps. To cheer myself up I wondered if people could share any positive pregnancy things that have happened this week? Or what they’re most looking forward to when baby arrives?

When are you all starting to baby shop because I feel like doing it now 😂 I’m almost 17 weeks

Thoughts about a 3rd? I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again, I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I’m scared but excited, would love to hear some nice story’s about having a 3rd

Is anyone else feeling really emotional about their LO turning 1? I keep finding myself just crying !!

So, I just found out I’m pregnant today probably around 9wks and I’m 7m pp and I would love some advice from mom’s with 2 under 2. It’s great news and my husband and I are excited but also completely in denial of what’s to come.

Do any of y’all miss being pregnant??? My son is 15 months old and I miss my baby belly! I know it’d be irresponsible of me to have another baby rn and I’ve got my nexplanon for another 2 years still. But damn i miss being pregnant so much😭😭🤣 pic of me and my lil man to stay focused lmao🤣

My daughter has started doing this today, I keep getting told it’s cause there’s a baby on the way or she’s looking for a sibling. She be 9 months at midnight tonight 😫 I’m like freaking out cause I am ovulating and haven’t had implantation bleeding.

What was the best & worst part of your birth experience?? Besides getting to finally hold and see your baby ofc! ❤️

soo many people in here is having their babies early while im 38 weeks today with terrible heartburn, big & uncomfortable, HOTTTT & hungry 🥲🥲 im so over it soo how are yall doing it??

how are y’all doing it?! because I am barely making it! I am 29 weeks pregnant - irritable and exhausted and just feel like the worst mom with no patience

How are all the new mama's doing? My little girl is now 3 weeks and 3 days old. For the most part I don't think she is a terrible baby but definitely has her fussy moments, i hate seeing her upset 🥺. Really struggling with her having hiccups and trapped wind we think. I love having cuddles with her and wouldn't…

Don’t want to share publicly yet because I’m afraid of another loss but I got back these positives at 3 weeks 2 days (ovulated early, otherwise going off of my period I’m 2 weeks which doesn’t make sense). Praying this one sticks! I think these look like good lines for this early on. 🤞🌈 I just need to share with…

Hi! I’m 14 weeks and we’ve done zero prep so far for baby. We have one baby grow & that’s it. I haven’t booked any antenatal classes (don’t know where to start), bought anything (bit worried to before 20wks) and we’re still yet to work out finances/MAT leave etc. Being my first baby, i don’t know if i’m behind or...

My first was born 38w5d so I really expected to be done with pregnancy this time around 🥲 I've had prodromal labor every night for over a month now and my body is so sore. Who else is in this boat with me? I'm starting to feel so discouraged

Today is my due date and still no sign of baby boy my body is just so tired my emotions are all over the place how far did you go over your due date untill baby was born naturally?! 🥺

I’m a FTM and 19weeks tomorrow. It’s going super fast. Apart from shopping what’s everyone doing to prep for baby/birth? 🥰
