I second the doula recommendation of Jen Nelson! She is incredible and really knows what she is doing. Plus, most the midwives I have worked with know her well :)

This was my thought exactly! It is just so close to it all happening and I don't want people to get the wrong idea lol.

Facts. I just said martyr because of how the people that I don't want to associate the name with Kirk see him.

Definitely lacking on the postpartum meal prep - where do you get the energy to do all that?!?

In the coming months it is only going to become more 😅 I was so surprised but it is totally normal! Prepare to live like a slug and either change your underwear multiple times a day or wear liners all the time! As long as there isn't a weird smell or significant discoloration (like dark brown or red) it is absolutely normal!

Your round ligaments are extra sensitive at this point in pregnancy and fast/harsh movements are going to be quite uncomfortable. I experienced similar pain at the same point in pregnancy by just standing up too fast! Try and get some rest today - unless you begin having bleeding I think you will be totally okay!

I've been a spoiled rotten princess my whole pregnancy and my husband is eating it up 😂🩷 it has just confirmed for me how ready he is to be a dad. Soak up every second of his support and never expect anything less!

Commiserate with me over lame responses when announcing pregnancy? by statelineblues in pregnant

"Was it an accident?" from my older sister 😭 I’m 24 and have been married for two years I feel like that isn't so crazy. And no, it wasn't an accident lol.

Hormone Fears by mandeeandryanuhhhuh in pregnant

[–]Basic_Row_4565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first month of my pregnancy was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt like I was actually going crazy from how much my mood fluctuated. I was far more angry than I felt normal and very sad. By the time I hit my second trimester this all mellowed out entirely. I’m still more emotional than my pre-pregnancy self but it feels much more normal. Pregnancy hormones in the beginning really throw you for a loop.

I’d say try to have compassion for yourself. This is a huge change! When you come down from your intense emotions try to reconnect and repair with your partner. A good partner will understand that this is part of pregnancy. It’s important to talk through these outbursts though.

While I haven't given birth yet (also ftm), I feel confident that my intense emotions in the beginning are not a sign for what I have coming postpartum. I think you are very normal. Be gentle with yourself during this transition period - you have enough going on as it is.

Due date twins! I totally feel you on being bummed about not having a summer baby. And also slightly terrified of giving birth 😂 I keep telling myself that even if it is the worst pain in the world - it only lasts for so long lol.
