New thread as the other was getting full 😀

Aww I love thinking back on pregnancy and the birth, I always look at pictures of back then! It's crazy how fast time goes, my little boy turned two yesterday and he also had his two year check up at the family doctor, so I got to see how big he was exactly which I find sweet. We all had a lovely day!

Wishing you all the best!

Anyone else’s little monster not a fan of breakfast? He’s gone off cereal but now also gone off toast. This morning he had fruit and yogurt instead. What do your little ones have?

@CheeseAndCrackersx I’m in same boat as u waiting to see if pregnant again which feels mental to be back in these trenches! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for us both, where are u in ur cycle?

my LO eats very little when im around, all she wants to do is bf. But when she’s with anyone else she eats all round her 😅 🤷🏼‍♀️ she’s quite a plain eater thou in general, toast, cereal, banana, strawberries, yoghurt, porridge are the height of what she’ll eat for breakfast and it’s usually 2/3 bites 🫣 she just never seems to be interested in eating, anyone else’s lo the same?

My little boy eats two weetabix with soy milk and a mashed half banana mixed in, he usually eats it all, he'll often steal a bit of my breakfast along with that 🙈 I've tried him with other breakfasts and the only other one that works out well is pancakes.

Yes DD has been the same last couple of weeks but will happily eat cereal at nursery.
She's been having yoghurt and some fruit lately

8 weeks in…. First trimester nausea and a two year old who is really entering the terrible two’s… I don’t know how to cope 😭😭😭😭
constantly nauseous, not throwing up but nothing settles it (bar the moments whilst I’m eating - but I can’t just keep eating non stop!).

I didn’t have it as bad first time round.. any tips pleaseeee

@msp2023no advice but I’m in the same boat, you’re not alone. Almost 7 weeks and constantly feel so sick (without being sick) only eating helps but never know what I want to eat and like you don’t want to be constantly eating.

DD just turned 2 already feeling the guilt when I’m exhausted and not feeling 100%

mint imperials ladies! I sucked on them all day.

Hope you both feel better soon, pregnancy is hard when you already have children

Congratulations on your pregnancies ladies, and happy birthday to our little ones! My lil one turned 2 last week and cannot believe it. Time has passed so quickly.

For any mamas with multiple babies already, how have you found the birth of another baby impact your relationship with your spouse? I found that even one child has separated us so much. We obviously don’t spend time with each other in the same way like we used to, and that really made us miss each other in a sad way. I’ve also been and am still suffering from postpartum PV dysfunction, so being intimate has also been a challenge.

But anyways, since I find it so hard with just one little one, how do you manage the relationship with your spouse when you’ve got multiples? Any tips?

We were at breaking point for a while, we were really close to ending our relationship after 14 years together, it's only recently that we started reconnecting and it's still not even close to the way things used to be. A complicated pregnancy and birth and then nearly a year of colic caused us to be so disconnected. We've been spending more time together the past few weeks and have been trying to be more intentional about connecting with each other but overall for us it's been extremely difficult relationship wise.

@novamama we were the same, reached breaking point about a year in and had to make big changes as both of us were unhappy and juts never had any time together. We made a plan to actually see each other, small things like do an exercise class together, or an hr here or there where’s it’s just us. We’ve no crèche/childcare so it’s still tough but things are better than they were 9/10 months ago. We are nowhere near where we were before kids but I don’t believe that’s possible at the minute. We also go to therapy/counselling once a week & that has been amazing for discussing things.
i would deff say im so shocked at just how much it changes everything to do with your relationship

The first year for us was so tough. It took a lot to get to the wanting another stage cos back then I was like nah not a chance and we very nearly split up.

It wasn’t my month after all this cycle anyway but never mind, we keep trying 😊 it will happen if and when it’s suppose to. I’ll just be taking a pause in may as don’t want 2 Feb babies 🤣

massive strain on our relationship that we ended up breaking up sadly.
there was a lot of things towards the decision tbh but, we're in a good place, kids are happy.

no one really talks about how the relationship changes do they?

Definitely not. Definitely become more like roommates that’s for sure.

Sorry you ended up breaking up but atleast you’re in a better place together.

If I’m perfectly honest what kept me fighting was the fact I didn’t want to share our son and be without him at weekends or whatever 🙈 that probably sounds terrible.

new thread ready 😀

@CheeseAndCrackersxNo I totally get it.
We have two so I'm always lost when they're with dad but I've learnt to enjoy the time and do things for myself.
We thankfully don't share full weekends as such, we have a day each and he comes to see them after school/nursery in the week.
