Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hi, I am currently 12 weeks, nearly 13. I am struggling with my emotions, I feel drained, not heard, not understood by my partner. My eating has been terrible the past 6 weeks, I have had nausea everyday for more or less all day… sick at least 3-4 times a day… sometimes I think I can’t do this… is this normal? 😔😔😔

I’ve just turned 23 weeks pregnant but this week I feel like I’ve gone back 12 weeks to how I felt in the first trimester. I’ve got no appetite, I’ve had nausea and sickness and I feel so tired to the point my body physically aches. I don’t remember feeling like this with my first pregnancy but I’m really struggling...

Did anybody start nesting on their end of second trimester?

Should I be concerned?

Im impatient i know 🙄 but i did a sneak peek at home test kit im around 9 weeks today so would have been 6 weeks at the time, And it came back as girl however the test went pretty bad and after looking at the reviews i was like oh they aren’t good. I shared the news with my mum and she then ordered a clinical one.…

I found out I was pregnant yesterday - I knew I wanted a baby but this came at a surprise - SOO excited tho. But I am terrified to tell my parents 🥲 I want to make sure my baby grows up with grandparents but my brain always thinks the worse. Any advice would be much appreciated 🤍🤍🤍

Has anyone experienced baby weight being normal but having smaller stomach size ? It’s giving me a lot of anxiety why it was suddenly detected. My close guess is it’s related to my placenta and it might be giving insufficient nutrients and flow or maybe my placenta is getting detached…? but I’m getting worried if th...

Is it possible to make a prediction when baby is so small?

This is my second pregnancy and I’m almost 21 weeks. I’m having di-di twins. I’ve had a healthy single pregnancy before this one. I have been having episodes of heart palpitations, dizziness, changes in vision, shortness of breath, and feeling like I’m going to faint. This is going on 3 weeks now. I have been regula...

Hey, Bit of a long one apologies in advance! My 1st born was born at 6lb 9 and because of this I have been referred to specialist consultants throughout my second pregnancy as my midwife has said the risk of an even smaller baby this time round is high. The specialist I saw the other day has said I’m high risk for...

What does this mean? I passed all the levels but my last reading was 67? The Labcorp tech went and used the bathroom and then took my blood. So it was almost 10 min past.

I had my first baby a week ago, and I feel so anxious about something bad happening to him! Is it normal to feel like this and does it ever stop??

Is 11 dpo too early to test? Also what the earliest dpo you got a positive?

Does anyone else like to get the gender blood test? I just did mine today. Excited to see if it's a boy or girl.

Sorry this is my fist time pregnant so very new to this. I’m going on holiday next month to Egypt where I’ll be 25weeks. I was just wondering if anyone has experiences of having reduced movements while pregnant abroad and whether your travel insurance covers you for this. I am not even sure if you should or shouldn’...

Does this look dark for 4 weeks 4 days? I'm thinking twins hopefully maybe 🤣🤣

Came in a few hours ago but I promised my fiancé I wouldn’t look until we can look together after work. I know it says “View Results” but I don’t like that it also says “Next: test complete.” — for anyone who is familiar with Natera, does this mean the results will actually be there? I’m impatient as heck so this ...

I had my pre-op today for my elective C-section. At the pre op she told me that I should shave the hair at the top where they will be doing the incision before the surgery. But everything I've read and been told before says that I should stop shaving a week before the surgery. So now I am really confused on what is ...

Has anyone been prescribed amitriptyline by a GP during pregnancy? My midwife asked him to for treatment of a pre-existing urinary condition but he told me it’s not safe for pregnancy so refused. Even though NHS website says it’s fine? I feel defeated.

34+4 and feel awful🫠
