I'm pregnant same time as Rhi, Lucy Meck and all them - AGAIN. Our kids are all similar age too so it's annoying to feel like our lives are so aligned
For us, the second time was unexpected - we weren't actively trying to have a baby, my periods were all over the place as still breastfeeding and to be honest, our sex life is in the absolute pits, but we knew it was a possibility. It's always a possibility unless you're abstinent! It does make me feel guilty to have it happen fairly easily when some people try so hard with no success - but at the same time, pretending we were 'trying' to spare the feelings of people having fertility struggles would just be misrepresenting the situation completely.
It took me about 4-5 weeks to clock on that I might be pregnant, my first test said 3+ weeks which is the maximum it can say on those tests. For her to test so early makes me think she knew more about the conception than she was letting on - or maybe just way more in tune with her body than I am
One thing that strikes me is that it seems she's actually further along than Lucy Meck - I know neither have given dates but the vibe I get from Rhi is that she's some way through the second trimester now, whereas Lucy is at the beginning.
Gotta admit, I'm not looking forward to the latter stages when the bump is so massive you just can't do anything. I know it's all part of it, and I feel lucky to be able to carry a baby, but when you can't fasten your shoes or get out of the bath or roll over in bed without help, it does get a bit frustrating. However I feel like Rhi's reasons for not looking forward to having a bump are probably quite different.
