********** TW: BLOOD AND OPERATION MENTIONED ********** I've started bleeding today from my first period after pregnancy/having baby (Not missed this at all 😂) Does anyone know how long roughly your first period after having baby lasts? I read once you can bleed for a few weeks for your first one so am quite…

I know most of us are in a similar situation. I was having a conversation with family and being told I'm heartless because I'm not doing a huge first Christmas for my baby this year because baby will only be a few weeks old. Am I really a monster? Baby will only be max 3 weeks old

Hi! My baby is due April 2024 and have a 13 month old little girl. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m finding pregnancy this time round very lonely and also incredibly hard managing the exhaustion and juggling taking care of my daughter plus working full time! Would be so grateful to speak with any ladies in similar ...

I got called a fat c***t on the phone yday because I wouldn’t ease up on his shitty behaviour and refuse to let him slide. Bearing in mind I’m 6 months pregnant. 🤷‍♀️ I will never in my life talk to him again. I’m done.

Oh my goodness this week has not been what I had expected. Went to my regular ob appointment Monday morning and delivered my sweet baby girl by Monday evening via c section. I had preeclampsia and thankful for a safe delivery of my baby at 36 weeks plus 4 days. It’s been such a crazy week including her currently bei...

Here’s mine! - I was only 8DPO 😳

I just want to say, i know how youre feeling! I didnt find out i was pregnant till 24 weeks. I was 19 and I was terrified! I even heavily considered adoption. Here i am a year later, got a job im proud of, still breastfeeding, started playing sports again, finding fulfilment in healthy ways, still as close to my fr...

When did you announce your pregnancy? Are you not announcing? Is there a right time? Personally myself - I am in my second pregnancy and almost half way now but we announced our first baby early in pregnancy and unfortunately lost our baby so I’m unsure if I even want to announce this time around and my family and...

Think I’m finally ready to say I would like to see myself have another baby! Been literally terrified of getting pregnant again until recently

I'm seeing so many babies being born earlier in October. Any words of wisdom or generous tips to share that might have helped baby come early? Sincerely, mother who is desperate for pregnancy to be over 🫣🤭🤣

I had my consultant appt today and finally got my date for my c section I'm so excited 😊 it all starting to feel so real and I just want time to pass!

FTM, almost 9 months postpartum and I just found out I’m pregnant again. We had a really hard time getting pregnant with our 1st so we kind of wanted to try again ASAP because we knew that I was most fertile but we didn’t actually try just random lovey times lol. We are so happy but super shocked at the same time we...

No point to this post really but just feeling so sad about my son starting nursery next month and his first birthday as well (he was a December baby but arrived early). Cherishing these last 5 weeks together like this before it all changes❤️😭 Anyone else?

37 weeks today and today is my 3rd today of expressing and I’m getting 3-5ml everyday How is everyone else going?

I had my second baby June 21st and just tested on Sunday and found out I’m pregnant again 😓 I’m so nervous but excited at the same time. Two under two is definitely gonna be a challenge.

Hi, I’m 15 weeks and was strength training 2 years prior to getting pregnant so I’ve continued since getting pregnant (albeit less times per week and lower weights than usual)! I’ve noticed a sudden drop in my strength and was wondering if this is normal?! I’m still going 2-3 times per week so wasn’t expecting such ...

Finally! I don’t have anyone to share this with but found out that our 3rd baby is… A GIRL! I’m so over the moon 🥹 I cried happy tears when hubby opened the envelope. Side note: I correctly guessed 3/3 pregnancies - anyone else correctly guess theirs?

I started showing at 10.5 weeks and idk if that’s excessively early! My first pregnancy I didn’t show until 19-20 weeks

I feel like this weekend baby may be here. There is supposed to be a super moon Thursday and I heard there is gonna be a drop in environment pressure. I want my baby to stay longer but okay if he shows up. Any other moms feel like it might happen for them?

It just hit me the other day - I only have 3 more weeks of just me and my first boy. My sweet 4 year old that’s a total mama’s boy. I have to admit, I’ve been pretty clingy and have fallen down the slippery slope of letting him come in to bed with us for a few minutes in the morning to get some snuggles in…I know th...
