Second baby?

Anyone thinking about another baby if this has been your first? If yes, when? I’m up for it but naturally have reservations, mainly around not being able to give my LO all my attention. He’s 3 months now and I had a c section, so guidance is at least a year I think?

Still waiting for my forst ultra sound and I have not tested for a while because I simply don’t have any more tests and don’t wanna stress about it but I just remembered I had LH test and did one for fun.

Is anyone else extremely emotional over their baby turning 1?! I’m in tears every single time I think about it and just can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by.

I had my little one on April 1st!

I had my daughter on April 1st at 37 weeks and 4 days. I had a scheduled c-section on the 11th, but I started having contractions. While I was in the hospital, my 2 year old son came down with an upper respiratory thing. Over the weekend, he had to go to the hospital because his breathing was super labored. Despite ...

Telling friends and family

I have a question regarding labour

Have any of you ladies went into labour two weeks before your due date? & was it the same for your second child. I went into labour 37 weeks and 4 days with my first son and my midwife says uts high risk my second will be the same also. So I'm best preparing for that time.
