Anyone else feeling uncomfortable pressure lower down now?! I’m 34 weeks and last few days every time baby moves the pressure in my pelvis is insanely uncomfortable 😣 my midwife has put on my notes that he’s 4/5 engaged so still a while to go and I’m so worried about how it’s going to feel as he gets lower! 🙈

Do you still get scared of labour ?

Have you all noticed lower blood pressure since being pregnant? For example 106/65

Has any once else experienced high blood pressure but only when in the hospital for appointments? I went for my 25 week appointment on Wednesday and my blood pressure was high on multiple readings (158/90) so I was sent to triage for further monitoring. Whilst there and lay on the bed it started high but did come ...

I don’t know if it’s my anxiety or just because it’s something I’ve never done before, but I’m having a hard time picturing my baby coming home. I can’t say definitively if I “have a bad feeling”. For reference, my pregnancy has been healthy and uncomplicated. I’m due in about a week. Just hoping for some comfort ...

Recently I’ve started monitoring my blood pressure at home as I have swollen legs and just generally feeling ‘fuzzy’ . It’s usually around 110-120/60-70. It’s now 144/85 or roughly around that and doesn’t get any lower. Now I know this still isn’t too alarming I even told my midwife who advised me to not check my ow...

It’s my birthday next week and all I want to do is sit at home, because going out to eat (something I normally absolutely love) has turned into such an area of stress for me. Having to interrogate ingredients, deal with staff who don’t know what pasteurised means (not their fault ofc) and double check they’ve given ...

I wish my partner would be more empathetic to how much stress and change i have to go through in order to grow our baby. The body changes, all the hormones and symptoms that come with it, going to all the dr appts, the tiredness especially still working full time. I know this sounds like i’m looking for a pity par...

I’m 6 months postpartum on the 8th and found out I’m pregnant last week! Not sure how far along I am but I got what I thought was my period last month although it was super light.. so if my last period was Oct 21 then I’d be around 7 weeks. Anyways I’m already having ligament paint and some stretching pain.. woul...

Hello mommas we just found out we are pregnant with twins we are happy but super scared I only weigh 101 pounds and I’m scared there will be complications what should I be eating?? And need help with nausea it’s killing me (we are 9 weeks)

I went for my 20 week scan this week and baby’s tummy was measuring bigger so they have said I need to be tested for gestational diabetes as it could mean this. Has anyone had this and can it mean anything else? Also how long after having your test done did it take to receive results?

I got a 135 which is their cutoff even though the actual results say normal is under 140. Going to do the 3hr one on Monday 🤞🏼

I really pushed a whole baby out of me last night 😭😭. No epidural. No petocin. No tearing. No warning contractions or nothing. 0cm the day before.

Anyone know when you should start using a pregnancy ball to sit and bounce on? Due beginning of April. 🤰🏻

Need some advice I’ve had the test done this week and got the results back but mine came back just saying normal and that was it so now I’m not sure what this means does it mean I have it or not 🤷‍♀️

4 weeks and 6 days

I’m currently 14 weeks and 5 days Due date June 1st ! How do I figure out when I convinced or date I convinced

I'm only 36+1 weeks, making me due on the 2nd. I have this massive gut feeling that I'll go into labour next week or the week after

Just done a sneakpeek gender test at 7 weeks. Just wanting to know others experiences with accuracy? Were your results correct ?

Anyone got glucose in wee but midwife doesn't think I need gestational diabetes test?
