What name do you have in mind?
Is it a boy or a girl? Congratulations momma!! 🫶
Congratulations! Is this your first baby? What are you most excited about?!
Congratulations 🥂
Congrats! Do you have a name picked out yet?
Are you literally having the baby right now?
If so. Push dammit deep breaths
He he who
He he who
first of all congrats!!
was the baby planned?
what’s one place you’re excited to take the baby once you’re able to?
labor at home as long as possible!! look up 5-1-1! wait for the contractions to be every 5 mins, contraction lasting 1 minute long for 1 consecutive hour! and yessss keep distracting yourself!! shower, watch your comfort show, eat!! it’s the best because the longer you’re in your comfort environment, the more safe you and baby feel and it’ll be a quicker delivery! i love labor lol
YOUVE GOT THIS!! 💪 congratulations
Do you have snacks packed?
We just had a baby 3 weeks ago. AMA, OP.
How early is early?
Omg good luck, and congratulations, hoping for a healthy lil baby & speedy recovery for you 😀 ❤️
omg how did you find out?
Go to sleep
Get some rest
How do you pick a name?
Going for the epidural? Get for the epidural. If not, please update us with the pain and if you can, compare it to a tooth that needs root canal. I tried myself to compare, but I was induced and when they said I’d have 10 hours of contractions coming every minute or so I opted for the epidural. The Pitocin drip made it unfair.
How hard was it to choose names, and what’s the name that almost made it :)? Wishing you a quick and easy labor 💜
can you name the baby after my reddit username?
Take your time, eat easy to suggest things, get some rest.
Ive seen early labor last days, especially with the first.
Are you nervous?
Have you picked a name for him yet?
I hope the delivery goes well, congratulations! When do you think you will go to the hospital? Do you have any names planned? (Unrelated) what is your favorite restaurant?
Is it worth it?? I’m pregnant with my first (15 weeks) and have been so sick and hated every minute of it.
Ooooh. Exciting times. Have faith your body knows what to do! Who is going to be at the birth with you?
How are you doing? Are your birthquakes (contractions 😂) bad
Good luck. One of the most painful and terrifying things – BUT SO worth it. My daughter is 14 months old now.
How many children do you want?
For the next couple of hours, you’ll be in labor probably; Hopefully it goes fast. When did your water break? How did you react?
What’s packed in your hospital bag? I’m 30w with our first and I have no idea what I need and what she’ll need.
Did the baby come out yet?
If you had a conversation with a newly pregnant woman, what would you tell her based on your own experience?
Did you have a gender reveal party?
Congratulations❤️❤️❤️
Are you scared at all? Of like the pain? Do you have any other kids and does the pain decrease with everyone you have?
Why not adopt ?
i have no questions but congrats mama!!! i spent 7 years with someone who i thought was gonna be in my life forever and once that ended, i made peace with the fact that i would never be a mom! next thing i knew i was pregnant!
now i’m currently pregnant with my second and we have a loving family now! wishing you nothing but the best and smooth delivery!!
Is the prematureness going to impact delivery method for some reason?
On a scale 1-10 what is the pain?
Omg!! Congrats!!!
are you doing natural
congrats OP. father to a 21 month old baby girl – it’s the best. we had a tough long journey too which makes it all the more worthwhile.
wishing you all health and happiness. take loads of pictures and videos early days, they grow so crazy fast
Remember to BREATHE. It’s so important! Breathe, breathe, breathe! And push when they tell you to.
Remember when you think to yourself “I can’t do this” that you are actually DOING IT. There’s only one way forward! Best of luck
