I did my glucose test today and tell me why the juice tasted like the brand “bug juice” I used to get from the gas station when I was little?😂. Idk if that juice is still around or if anyone else thinks the same thing. Also, did the drink make y’all nauseous? Idk if it’s all the sugar or if it was me having to wait…

Does anyone else feel like they are eating soo much but can’t help it? I am having such bigger portions at mealtimes and didn’t think anything of it, until my partner made a comment about how big I’m getting and saying “you better lose that after you’ve had the baby”. He obviously saw that he touched a nerve and hu...

Does anyone have real bad anxiety!? How are you coping? I currently have a 2.5 year old, think I’m 8 weeks pregnant, work from home self employed and very supportive husband and family. I just constantly feel dizzy from it to the point I don’t want to leave the house but also feel shit when I stay in all day. I’ve ...

My little man was born at 34 weeks exactly, will be a week old tomorrow. I was wondering roughly how long other babies stayed in hospital around the same gestation? He still doesn’t wake up for his feeds and is being tube fed 😔 it’s so hard being stuck in hospital

Is it normal at the end of your first trimester? You’re still feeling nauseous tired and worse going into the second trimester they say it gets better but why am I not getting better?

This is my second post.. sorry! Just getting a bit fed up of waiting 🤣 So I was told to wait until 14th November for my C-section date to be confirmed for next week! I was told this two weeks ago. You can imagine how long that feels to me 😴😴 Did anyone find out before 38 weeks when your date for a 39 week section…

Wondering if anyone else has felt this?? Just started today, it's worse when I stand up. Unsure if baby has changed positions but it's uncomfortable/feeling pressure in my bum🤣🤣

38 weeks today and feeling soooo anxious. I know I love my baby but the thought of birth is terrifying me. Everyone seems to be so excited but I can’t shake off the fear.

Anyone else have high blood pressure? My blood pressure has always been elevated but not requiring medication. I did however have to take medication through my whole previous medication and have just been prescribed medication again. I thought I would be more relaxed about it this time round as I would know what to ...

so after nearly a year of trying we finally managed to conceive and i’m just 4 days away from the end of the first trimester but honestly i am already just so fed up😂 i feel sick when im hungry, if i eat i throw up, i’m constantly tired, my little one has decided to become super clingy and demanding and i just…

I’m almost 11 weeks pp and I had my first period after birth last month, how was everyone’s second period? I’m now late so unsure if it just takes a while for your regular cycles to get into the rhythm again!?

I’m 27 weeks pregnant, first baby, and I know it’s my first so “I’ve never experienced this before” but I’m actually ready for this baby to be born now, my back is in bits, he kicks me non stop he’s so active. I can barely sleep because I’m so uncomfortable. I’m sick of these weird dreams. The anxiety is unreal. I’m...

Do you get the results back in 3 business days??

I'm 25 weeks almost and I don't even feel that big but I feel so uncomfortable. I don't even mean sleeping I just mean getting around, school drops and round the house. Such a long way to go to till due date 🥹😅

Anyone had this on Friday at Croydon hospital and heard back yet?

Anyone else’s second trimester going better? Like I have a few symptoms here and there but overall feel fine. Sometimes I do worry about that since the appointments are far apart.

I have my first appointment tomorrow and I am an absolute bundle of nerves. I'm so excited for baby but the nerves are just eating me up! With that being said, is there any questions that would be good to ask at the first appointment? I'm a ftm and we haven't announced to our family just yet because we want to make ...

I’m hoping for an elective due to my health anxiety & fear of natural birth. But I’m so scared of telling my family & them judging/questioning me as they dont understand my anxiety. Also scared of the procedure and recovery. I’m not sleeping thinking I won’t be able to hack the pain or something terrible will happe...

My boyfriend says he doesn’t consider himself the dad of our baby until it’s born, am I right to be upset by this or am I just being overly sensitive? It has really hit a nerve and he’s making it worse by saying I’m overreacting and he hasn’t said anything wrong :/

Does everyone get a glucose test? and if so when do you find out about it?
