Anyone else?

Is anyone else feeling more and more scared for what's to come the closer you get to D-day. I'm 30+2 now and I'm starting to get really scared about labour (this is my first baby). I'm such a woose when it comes to pain. I can't wait to meet my little lady though.

First trimester

Has anyone ever had complete loss of appetite in the first trimester? Even when I’m not nauseous it’s really hard to eat. I have to force myself. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I didn’t have this problem in my first pregnancy 🫠

Reaching the pregnancy point

I am 34 weeks and I think I have reached the annoyed stage of pregnancy. I swear to god my belly just expanded, it is just so round and big and starts to terrify me of its size. I am starting to get forgetful and snappy and cranky. I miss a good time with rose and lying on my stomach. I was so happy up until now ...

Really struggling to eat.

I am extremely worried that I will ingest something that will be fatal to my baby. I’m struggling to make myself food and getting takeaway/eating out causes so much anxiety. I’m 27 weeks pregnant with my second baby after I lost my first to miscarriage. Looking for support.

Should I be concerned?

I’m 23 weeks and 2 days and my fatigue has been so bad today. I can barely function. My belly feels heavy but baby has not been moving as much. Found baby’s heartbeat on a at home Doppler though. Should I be concerned?

Does it bother you when people comment on your size during pregnancy?

Comments like, “Wow! You’ve gotten so big!” “You’ve REALLY popped!” “You’ll be huuuuge in a month!”
