When to start…

Less than 10 weeks to go for me now and I’m just wondering when is a good time to start really preparing everything (washing all the clothes, packing bags etc.)? I don’t want to be too eager! Also is anyone planning on batch cooking for when baby arrives? We are all nearly there now girls! 👶🏻

Anxiety??

Is anyone else getting crazy anxiety in 3rd trimester? I feel like I am going insane at this point and just so frustrated w everything. 😩😭 I’ll be 35weeks Friday and I feel like ever since I hit 31 weeks, the anxiousness over EVERYTHING, has just gotten worse and worse by the week.

Feeling insecure

Since finding out I’m pregnant I have a fear my boyfriend is cheating on me. Before we got pregnant I never had these thoughts but now I do. I know I shouldn’t but I did the stupid thing of going through his instagram and found he likes half naked girls photos and follows them. I know I shouldn’t have looked but e...

Day 3…

I’m a FTM and just looking for some reassurance if possible! I was told by midwives that day 3 can be tough, but I think I really underestimated it! I’m not breastfeeding so my boobs are rock solid, I’ve got stitches that are really painful, and my anxiety today is out of control over the baby. I feel so overwhel...

Dentist

I've got an appointment tomorrow at the dentist and I'm panicking quite a bit. I'm worried about laying on my back and the x- ray machine going on by accident etc. My husband says I'm being irrational but I can't help feel this way especially since I'm only going in for a check up and don't have any pains etc. Has...

Is anyone else just genuinely scared of birth?

I can’t get past it. I know there’s nothing I can do about it, or to control it. It will and has to happen. I wanted to be pregnant and have a baby so bad. Now this happens to me mentally. Does anyone have any advice that helped them be less…. Nervous and on edge about it? 🫣

Advice?!

My boyfriends family booked to take us to Tenerife at the start of the year, before I knew I was pregnant. We are due to go next week, I’ll be 33 weeks flying.
