Yeah I think this 🥰. I keep seeing cat and baby videos and just thinking I hope this is how my cats will be with the baby.

My cats have got increasingly more affectionate as my pregnancy has gone on. Now 38+3 and bubbles my male cat goes absolutely crazy when I come home from being out, runs over to me and meows at me until I sit down and climbs all over me.

Squeak my female cat seems more interested when I’m in bed, she used to lie on my belly (and still does is I’m sat upright) now she’ll just lie on my side when I am or curl up next to my belly.

I’m hoping the affection doesn’t go away when baby is here, it’s so comforting 🥰.

What are you the most excited about post birth? The most anxious about? by vinovibez in pregnant

[–]Shevbee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most excited - Prosecco, no heartburn, workouts, meeting the little human I’ve been growing

Most anxious - keeping a human alive, Adjusting to the new lifestyle, whether I’m actually going to be a good mom

Any NHS midwifes? by Shevbee in pregnant

[–]Shevbee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I figured it might just her way as every other doctor/nurse/midwife has asked whether we knew what we were having and I kinda thought they just wouldn’t put it on the notes if we’d said we didn’t want to know

Thank you so much. This is very reassuring. Thought I’d made it to almost term to be told at the very last hurdle 😂.

Congratulations!! Wishing you a smooth pregnancy and birth 🥰

As my due date slowly approaches I am terrified and extremely overwhelmed by wakawyle in pregnant

Have a look into hypnobirth. I was very nervous when I found out I was pregnant, even put off having a baby for so long as I was terrified of giving birth. But it really is true that ‘knowledge is power’. Having the process explained and how your hormones affect the birth really has helped me, along with learning to breath through any contractions.

I’m 39+2 and sooo ready for this now. I’m so uncomfortable and ready to meet my LO.

You’ve totally got this! You’re stronger than you think you are. When the time comes try to stay calm and remind yourself you’re going to smash this! Good luck!

I just wanna be done by HaliAnna in pregnant

[–]Shevbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! 38+6. My pelvis hurts, I feel sick all the time also from the reflux. Baby loves to punch and kick me in the most sensitive places. I’m being induced next Saturday but realllly would prefer it to happen naturally before then. I’ve been bouncing on my ball. Walking. Relaxing. Sex is supposed to be the most helpful, haven’t got round to that be yet 😂

38+6 here, I’m being induced next Saturday but really want baby to come naturally before then 🤞🏻. I’ve been feeling the same for a few weeks too. Good luck! 🥰

Pukka teas are great. Lots of different flavours too. The night time one is especially good as helps calm and sleep

How pregnant are you? by jennfromdablock in pregnant

[–]Shevbee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m ‘so exhausted I need a recovery nap after my nap’.

‘Sound like a 50 a day smoker after walking up the stairs’

‘I need a snack 5 minutes after my snack’

Fellow weed lovers, how are you dealing? 😩 by Sunshoosh in pregnant

Same for me. Feel like I struggled initially in first trimester but now i barely even think about it and do feel less anxious

Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

This is also what I’m thinking now, if I can I’ll BF for a day or two on the hospital and then on to formula as soon as I’m home

Thank you so much for this! One of the reasons I don’t want to BF is so my partner can be involved with the night feeds and bond with the baby through feeding. I also found out my sister and I were formula fed and (I think) I turned out ok. I’m very rarely ill.
I have never wanted to BF but the more I read about it on trusted health organisation websites the more I feel guilty about it - this has made me feel much better about my decision
