Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hi, I’m 33 weeks and this third trimester has been doing me dirty. I get heart burn, I’m nauseous, but worst of all I have back/body pains. Is there anything I can do to help myself. Because I don’t know how I’ll survive a little less than 7 weeks of this 😭

I’m going to post a photo in the comments, but my entire pregnancy, DI/DI twins, I have had what I thought was an apron belly. I also seen a TikTok recently of a girl playing with the exact same thing I have, asking WTF is this hahaha 🤣 Well anyways, my entire pregnancy this little fat sac has been exactly that, a…

I am having my section tomorrow, this is my second baby. My little boy is 4 years old and we are so close. I am so emotional that my baby will no longer be my littlest. Did anyone else feel like this. I feel like the newborn thing I’ve totally got and my main concern is him and him not feeling pushed out even for a ...

Anyone sooooo paranoid and scared to get pregnant again like my 7 month old now was hard enough I respect the girls that have 2 under 2 but I don't think my mental health would cope 🥺

Has anyone had their ebt stolen ? I went to the grocery just to find out my ebt balance was 0 and i have not used it . If anyone has gone through this what do i do?

As a first time mom, I know it may seem stupid but my biggest fear is not knowing when I’m in labor. How do I know if what I’m feeling is contractions/labor pains and not just pregnancy pains…

What do you guys think. I tried to work out the nub theory but I very confused 🤔

I have been getting questions lately about what sort of birth plan i want to have . Honestly i would prefer natural birth but i have been hearing lots of stories about CS and I don’t know if i want to do it or not. I respect and admire women who have gone through CS several times especially. I have body dysmorphia ...

Sorry if TMI but I’m losing my mind with this! Has anyone else experienced severe thrush that you just can’t seem to get rid of? I’ve already had one lot of pessaries for 7 days, now on my second prescription as it didn’t work! Doctor said it’s hard to shift in pregnancy…but I’m 40 weeks today, and the thought of gi...

I'm 20 weeks as of tomorrow and I've been feeling my baby since I was 16 weeks, it kicks every night or some sort of movement. I haven't felt anything tonight (or at all today) , tried cold water, tried sugar (which usually works). My midwife said that there wouldn't be a regular pattern until I was at least 24 week...

Not long found out about my 3rd pregnancy. Already have 2 girls aged 4 & 2. Am I crazy? 😄 and why is anxiety worse as pregnancies go on??!

I have a 20 month old and I’m 14 weeks now. Just slowly heading out of the first trimester nausea trenches so I’ve been lifting and carrying my toddler more. My goodness, it’s so much harder than expected. My belly even hurts sometimes when she’s super wiggly while I’m carrying her. Anyone else feel similar?

I’m 34 weeks now, but I feel heavy down there even if I am laying down on my side i feel pressure all over my pelvic floor front and back and I experience lower back pain as well as tons of brixton hicks but nothing consistent and baby movement is great

Hey ladies. 24 weeks here. Just curious when you ladies got this test done. I’m thinking of waiting until 26 weeks :)

Many people tell me that my belly is too small for being 6 months pregnant and sometimes I feel sad because they tell me that I don't look pregnant, but it doesn't matter, I love seeing it and knowing that my baby is there

Hey!!! Any other mamas on here that have had multiple kids that can feel cervical changes?? This is baby #4! I just had my 29 wks apt and baby is already head down and engaged in my pelvis but we won't start cerv8cal checks till 32 wks but I feel like I've either thinned alot or have actually dilated a bit.. a...

I went in to triage with reduced movement and I’m not sure if the midwives forgot that I was there as I was behind a curtain but they were discussing amongst themselves how women ‘make it up’ just to get seen. Not sure why anyone would make this up but I just felt like it was so horrible for a mum to hear whilst she...

Does anyone who have had a NIPT test mind sharing their results and if you have had baby, was your result accurate? Also, if you went through NHS did they tell you what baby’s gender was too?
