Going Out

When did y’all feel comfortable to go outside with your baby? I’m 2 weeks post partum and want to feel normal! I’m thinking no earlier than one month or what’s your opinions?

Pregnant - hcg higher then expected at 4 weeks

Does anyone have any experience, I’m sure of my dates, my period was 4 weeks ago, but the doctor said my blood hcg level confirmed I’m 5 weeks pregnant. Does this mean I could be pregnant with twins? has anyone else had higher then expected hcg levels and did you have twins or just a single baby?

Anyone else so looking forward to not being pregnant anymore?!

I’ve loved being pregnant for the most part but I’m 33 weeks and at a stage where I almost can’t remember how I felt before being pregnant 🤣 the simple things in life that I miss: Being able to pick things up off the floor with ease Walking without being out of breath in the first minute Wearing cute clothes…

I don’t know if I’m going to make it 😩

Okay March Mommies.. I may have to bow out gracefully because I am not handling these last few weeks well AT ALL! I’m so uncomfortable and I now have hemorrhoids (never had them in life and this is the WORST) I’m constipated. I have this immense pressure on my pelvic bone when I walk and I’m still working at a wareh...

Spent nearly £100 on tests..anyone else?

Finally got a 3+ today at 5 weeks. I find the first few weeks so stressfull. I've had miscarriages in the past and I'm constantly checking. Is anyone else the same? I've spent about £70 in total since finding out. I'm thinking now I have a 3+ I might chill out a bit.

Can’t make up my mind lol

Anyone else get baby fever already? But at the same time I feel like I might not have anymore. I’m so undecided. I have a 2.5 year old girl and a 6 month old boy. I always thought I would have 3 or 4 kids and now I just don’t know. Anyone else in the same boat?

Just ventinggg**

My husband and I haven’t officially announced our pregnancy yet. So is it just me because I hate when people ask about my pregnancy (and I didn’t personally tell them) especially if they start off with “I heard from someone…” like ma’am who is that someone? why is it some secret? Obviously we’re not close enough for...

Those whose partners have gone back to work, what’s your routine?

My husband goes back to work on Monday after 6 weeks off and I’m nervous for not having his help with the baby but I’m also eager to get into our own little routine during the week! For those who have partners at work, what does your routine look like (if you even have one!)

My baby boy arrived 8/2/25 🥹🩵✨

Wasn’t due until 27th but had an induction day for the 20th but my waters decided to break so I had to go into hospital to be monitored and later induced… Had a very traumatic birth experience but I’m honestly just so happy to have my baby boy here safe and well 🩵🩵🩵

2nd baby ..

My daughter has just turned 2 and we planned to try for a baby in the Summer, but yesterday had a mad thought to just try this month and if it doesn’t happen this month stick to the plan of the summer. Because we suddenly thought a November baby would work well for us. According to my Flo app I ovulated on Thursday...

So my brother and sister in law just announced their pregnancy. I am close with them both. They are due in August so I expect we are a month apart.
