Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hi! Me again! I’ve posted before about how awful and guilty I’ve felt this entire pregnancy. Well it has not gotten better. I’m still struggling and I just weighted in this morning and I’ve lost another 5 pounds despite my efforts. That’s a total of 25 lbs! 😩 I’ve tried meds, protein shakes, everything suggested…

Anyone else just uncomfortable now. I am 34 wks 3 days and I am so uncomfortable. My belly feels tight and just ready for her to be here now 😂

Hi all Looking for a bit of reassurance if you can give any! Baby’s heart rate has been around 140 at most of my appointments - had another midwife appointment today and it was only 126. I know that’s still in the normal range but the drop has got me worried! Midwife said it was fine but I don’t know if that’s just...

When did you stop sleeping on your stomach? About to hit the 2nd trimester & wanted some guidance.

Used the last of my tests, and I’ve reached 3+ at 5 weeks 2 days. So unbelievably grateful 🤍

You are pregnant ?

So, this might be totally disgusting and some of you will probably judge me hard but, if I’m being honest, I think I’ve washed my hair all of about 5 times during the first trimester (currently 11 weeks and 4 days) it’s just not been the top of my list and if I’m being honest, I’ve mostly been rotting in bed so who ...

This is my first pregnancy. I am 20 weeks and I can’t stop worrying!!!! I’m not feeling a lot of movement and having awful dreams about my unborn baby. I don’t really feel like I have much support from my antenatal department as when I text/email my midwife she doesn’t respond. Does anyone have any advice to stop th...

Guesses anyone??🤦🏾‍♀️I won’t know until delivery day just curious what others think when it comes to the nub Theory..I’m new to this

Hi everyone, I’m feeling really anxious that I haven’t felt anything yet and wondered how many people are in the same position. I know they say that it can take up to 24 weeks but I’m so worried that I’ve not felt anything yet and something might be wrong. Is/was anyone else in the same boat?

My baby had a reaction and we've had to call the ambulance and go to A&E Scariest moment of my life. But all is well now. Wondering if the same happened to anyone ?

Is anyone else getting worried about there baby getting a cold or ill or a temp I’ve all of a sudden become very anxious of my baby getting ill x

Hey lovelies, I have a private gender scan this weekend, on the phone they said to drink something sugary beforehand to make the baby move around a bit more, just wondering if anyone knows what I should drink? I’ve tried to cut out caffeine so I haven’t had a coke in ages! xxx

Anyone else getting more anxious about the 6 month shots and all others? After the 4 month ones I don’t even want to be at the appointment. Plus I just read that it will be 5 or 6 of them 😩😭

Has anyone else’s anxiety heightened since having a baby? I find myself worrying about the most ridiculous things and can sometimes work myself up into a panic.

So mommas! I got a question I just got this letter from my doctor I'm 36 weeks and I don't know how to feel I'm kinda scared what do y'all think

Tomorrow’s my glucose test and so damn I’m nervous about it. I am in no way a big woman outside of the baby in my belly but damn I’m scared I won’t pass. I’ve been very good on sweets and soda so hopefully I’ll be ok.

I had my little girl last Thursday and everything went well. No complications etc. I was on the maternity ward for 4 days. I thought I was feeling 'spaced out' just because of the medication. Been home for 2 days now and I'm still feeling the same with the odd times of palpations throughout the days and I'm not taki...

So I’m 29 weeks and 4 days, went into triage with reduced movements. They have told me baby girl is now breech, I am going in twice a week for monitoring and a scan every 2 weeks. Anyone had similar experience? She is absolutely fine but they want to keep an eye out. It’s been fairly straight forward up to yet. Now ...

I am STRUGGLING! 12 weeks tomorrow, first pregnancy and I have absolutely no energy, I can barely tidy the house or walk the dog. I gag just at fresh air, a couple of times this has turned into actual sick. I’m soooooo tired and miss feeling like myself! I was so excited when we found out I was expecting but just fe...
