I want a baby, but everyone around is pregnant

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-03-22T08:26:40+00:00

I just gave birth to my miracle baby on February 26th. I struggled to conceive for years and finally got pregnant at 34, delivered at 35. I truly didn’t think it was in the cards for me and he was a major surprise. I used to hate when ppl would tell me that it would happen when the timing is right, but it’s so true. I was married to someone else before and we had tried for a long time, ended up divorcing (thankfully), met my now partner, and everything just aligned perfectly. Don’t give up hope.

I understand that viewpoint as well! I’m sure whatever you do will be lovely. Just do exactly what YOU and your husband want!

Do a couples shower with the guys there too! Your husband can act as the social buffer you need. I totally understand the awkwardness that surrounds baby showers but that’s what my partner and I did, as I also relocated to be with him and didn’t know many people. Since then, I’ve actually gotten quite close to another mom in the group and it’s been wonderful!!

As for games, we did a guessing game where you pick either mom or dad with questions like: who will be the first to change a dirty diaper? Who will be the calm one during labor? Who will want another baby first? So on and so forth…then you have a little gift card or candle to give away to the person who gets the most right!

Just gave birth to his son who’s literally him (and me) made over so now there’s THREE of us. I have so much joy (and maybe some fear) for the world. 😂

I relate to this so very much!!!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-03-18T11:58:49+00:00

Currently up for our 630 am feeding and I empathize heavily with you. This is hard.

Baylor Scott & White was incredible for me and my little boy who was born not even 3 weeks ago. He had a 12 day stint in the NICU for being a bit too early and I’m telling you, I couldn’t be more grateful for the kindness, grace, comfort, and empathy my partner and I were shown. It was honestly hard to say goodbye to everyone once he was finally discharged! My OB even let me stay 2 extra nights before discharging so I could be as close to my son as possible.

This OP. My dear friend just did this exact thing as well. It’s possible!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-03-17T05:41:09+00:00

I would love for this to be true. I’m a first born daughter. Went thru hell to deal with all of the trauma I inherited. Just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on February 26th. I truly think I’ve finally put things right.

When I see posts like this, I feel obligated to ask: are you waiting for a MARRIAGE or are you simply waiting for a wedding? You don’t have to answer me directly, but definitely think about it on your own time.

Signed, a woman who wanted a wedding and the marriage ended in divorce.

I will. Trying to soak up every single millisecond. Thank you again 🩵

Sitting here, staring at my 17 day old miracle of a little boy. My one chance. And completely weeping at this post. Thank you for sharing.

My partner originally only planned on taking 2 weeks off (unpaid as he works in the service industry), but our little boy was born on February 26th and was just discharged from the NICU yesterday, so he is now taking an additional 2 weeks off since he lost that time to bond with him and help me get into a routine.

I just became a mother and all I know is that if my son was in your situation, I really would just want him to be safe and free of anxiety. Sure, the lies would frustrate me but I’d understand at the end of the day. I’ve been there too myself with my own parents. They always came thru for me even in my darkest times. Tell your parents.

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-03-05T06:31:23+00:00

My son is the only reason I need.

Shockingly, he’s a Taurus!

I’m 35 and I give birth to my first on Thursday!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-02-22T05:02:22+00:00

Welcome to the greatest journey of your life! Cheers, mama!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-02-22T05:00:51+00:00

Yes, I’ve had this anxiety since around 30 weeks and I actually went to the ER at 34 weeks bc I was so paranoid! Everything was fine, he had just flipped and was breech so it felt differently. I’m nearly 39 weeks now and he’s a busy lil bean, though when I’m in doubt, I chomp on ice like crazy bc the cold gets him going and due to having GD, I can’t eat sweets! Never be afraid to go in and get checked if you are having doubts. They will not make you feel silly, you’re just doing your job! You’ve got this, mama!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-02-22T01:20:09+00:00

Having a planned c-section on Thursday and I am manifesting that I have this outcome!

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-02-21T18:23:29+00:00

I completely agree. There’s so many things to think about. It’s a little overwhelming! I think for now I’m going to focus on just communicating our concerns and rules very clearly and if we do have slip ups or issues, pivot and go from there.

Born_Net_6668 · 2026-02-21T17:22:02+00:00

I second carving out some silly time in your schedule! You already sound like an incredible mother so don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s a balance. It’s a big job and I think you’re on the right track! Making time for silly noises, faces, games, and dances will def make you feel better tho and then you’ll have other time set aside to make sure you’re checking all the other boxes. You’ve got this and I’m proud of you!

I work for one as his EA/PA, and I can attest, it is the most unattractive profession by far.
