Does anyone have a toddler or been in this position during early pregnancy?
I have a very active toddler who jumps moves fast kicks when climbing onto me by mistake and jumps all over me 🙈🤦🏽‍♀️
I'm worrying how I will keep my stomach area safe for the next many months 😬

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hey OP!
I am exactly the same as you… currently 12w but waiting for dating scan which is on Wednesday coming. I have an 18 month old who doesn’t stop and currently going through a jump on me at every opportunity phase. He’s also kicking out like mad because he doesn’t want to get changed half the time, so after a bath when I’m trying to dry him as he’s lying down he is kicking like mad!

I was speaking to my husband last night about this actually and to be honest we’re hoping it’s a short phase cause I haven’t a clue what we’ll do 😅.

I know we’ll just cross that bridge when we get to it, and adapt but it does make you worry thinking about it doesn’t it!

I know from my first pregnancy that I’m O-neg and son is O+, so it’s crossed my mind about needing anti d if he kicks hard further along into the pregnancy. A lot of what ifs at the moment 🙈 so you’re not alone x
