Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Has anyone been diagnosed with this? I am 33 weeks and they are now concerned I may have pre eclampsia. I am back in hospital and I have not been able to ask the midwife questions about it yet as they are waiting for test results. I have read things online but what I’m wondering is if they’ll keep me in or if anyone...

35 weeks on Tuesday been having off and on pelvic pain and a lot of feeling like I have too #2 with nothing coming if it does it’s diarrhea. Baby is still active but not as active as normal. Only active on the right side of my tummy or under the bottom.

I'm 33w3d pregnant third pregnancy, my mom said it looks like ive started dropping and I've been feeling it too, I'm wondering if it's normal to happen this early, ive also been getting a lot of pelvic floor pressure more than I'm used to the past couple of weeks or so, like I have to hold my stomach for a while whi...

My husband and I are trying for another and I don’t care either way but i need to set expectations. Did your body get WAY worse like a lot of people portray compared to the first baby. I have a little loose skin and stretch marks from the first and I’m wondering if it’s going to get 10 times worse Be honest

My hospital is unable to complete my NIPT at the moment and will potentially be able to do it late next week. Obviously I want the NIPT done because I want to make sure baby is healthy and that there is no abnormalities. HOWEVER, my gender reveal is in less than a month and I’m worried that results won’t be here in ...

Recently I had a baby boy in November. Pregnancy was very smooth but labor and delivery was extremely tough. My boy was safe and healthy I thank God for that. We want another. But i'm nervous of taking attention away from my boy now, I feel like I can't keep up now how would I keep up with 2 or even labor and delive...

Got my genetic test results back and everything looked good and found out we are going to have a little girl

I recently had my baby boy in December! And I always liked the idea of having 2 children, however I developed preeclampsia at 34 weeks and it was very stressful towards the end! I’m worried that if we were to have another one (definitely wouldn’t be for a couple years if we did🤣) I’d develop it again and would be…

Hi everyone, just made it to 33 weeks yesterday & now I’m being told that my belly is low- nothing is done (in my opinion) & I’m afraid that I’m gonna go in labor soon. Could my belly lowered mean early labor?

This is my second pregnancy and the anxiety is on another level! Anyone else the same!

I feel bad complaining but OMG I hate the first trimester - 10 weeks and I am still not myself. In bed, sick for a month plus. It’s actually hell. But I know being a pregnant is a blessing and people wish to be in this position sigh

I'm 29 +1 with my 3rd and yesterday had some spotting(literally just a few drops of bright red blood). I've been having Brixton hicks for a few weeks now so hard to tell if anything is actually happening. Today I've had lots of mucus type discharge with lots of brown (very similar to the end of a period but thicker...

How long did it take for your results to come through if you had your test on a Friday?

I've just taken a positive pregnancy test and am really scared. My son passed 5 months ago and I've known about this new pregnancy for about a week. I'm a bag of nerves and emotions and incredibly anxious. Not really looking for anything by this post but perhaps any words of encouragement or wisdom. What helped yo...

Anyone else starting to feel pressure in their ribs? I feel like I'm going to burst. I'm HUGE at 25 weeks and I feel like it happened overnight. I don't remember being this big in my first pregnancy. Not a lot of weight, just WOW preggo belly Hope y'all are doing well! 💜

I can’t remember how long it took to get the results back with my daughter. How long did it take y’all to get the results back?

I'm finding the first trimester so hard to get through, not because of morning sickness or any physical symptoms but just because I'm so worried that I'm going to lose baby or there will be something wrong and not knowing my exact dates too. I've never felt so alone

How long did your NIPT test take to come back if it was with Natera? My last one was with Invitae, and it was pretty slow. Just wondering if it came back closer to the 7 - or 10-day mark. I am anxious, haha! I know they can all be different turnaround times, but curious of others experiences.

I’m about 8 days pp from a c section and feeling decent. I wanted to start doing small walks. When can I start introducing 15 mins of walking?
