I’m 3 months pp and just found out i’m pregnant again. I don’t really know how to feel. I’m excited but i’m also a little scared. Does anyone have any experience? It just doesn’t feel real yet and I mostly worry that i’m being unfair to my first born baby.

I’ve completed the questionnaire and my LO is only doing 2/3 things in each section and now I’m dreading Monday’s appointment. Not going isn’t an option for me as I feel that may do more harm than good. I’m a FTM and she is my IVF premmie. She’s overcome so many medical hurdles and I guess I’m just worried due to t...

Went into my obgyn apt. today. I am 39 weeks now. Was hoping to get a cervical check to see how far I was dilated and debated the membrane sweep. Came back with high blood pressure and protein in my urine. On my way to labor and delivery to monitor and see if I’m diagnosed for pre clampsia. I’m a nervous wreck. Doct...

I am freaking out! It’s almost midnight and I was about to fall asleep but got a sudden text. I had a blood test this morning just a checkup as I’m reducing my SSRIs, so non urgent blood test. But my dr has set an appt for first thing in the morning!! I’m seriously freaking out. I’ve had hundreds of blood tests and ...

I’m 12weeks today, YAY! When did you all start telling people outside of family?

How to cope with the anxiety? I’m very very early just feeling so scared😢tips please don’t really have anyone to talk to or anything x

After a first trimester of sickness multiple times a day I now feel so normal and I don’t like it! As much as it was brutal, it was reassuring that things were progressing when I was full of symptoms, whereas now I feel mostly fine apart from really thirsty and occasional twinges. Anybody else feel the same now we...

So for the better part of 10 years, I had been told I wouldn't be able to have kids. It was I came to terms with it. I had always thought I'd be a decent mom since I've always loved kids and am pretty good with them. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm not so sure. I guess it's cause it had been drilled into my brain that I ...

On which week of second trimester did you feel better to eat and enjoy food?

Is anyone else experiencing a super sensitive belly button? Mine is starting to pop/flatten and is getting more and more sensitive to touch.

Hi all What week did you start harvesting your colostrum? I’m 29 weeks now and wondering when is best to start. I’ve heard it can bring on labour so don’t want to start it too early! TIA X

So I have always been a healthy weight, but my daughter who I had 16 months ago absolutely destroyed me. I ate and ate for 9 months straight and I doubled in weight. I’m not a plus size gal and I can admit, I am over weight. I did not do anything about trying to lose my baby weight; I wanted to enjoy my baby and no...

I for one am terrified of doing extensive cardio. Last time a ran I felt my insides were going to fall from beneath me 😭

Is anyone else's baby extremely fussy at the moment???

My older sis who has always belittled me in her own way has said 2 comments, 1 of them sticking to me in particular. The first one that is sticking to me quite a lot was her saying "but you don't have a high pain tolerance" when I said I was planning to have a natural unmedicated birth... And I was just like (i...

Has anyone else been told it won't be safe to even get pregnant again (after 2nd baby) because your uterus is extremely thin? Do you know what causes this?

Should I be concerned my baby is going to be 7 weeks old in a few days and I still haven’t had a period?

Hey ladies!! I have a son who's about to be a year old, and i had a feeling to take a test 2 days ago and BINGO, pregnant! I haven't gotten in for bloodwork yet to see how far along I am, but i'm so excited (and also terrified!!) I have no clue how i'm going to handle 2 under 2 but i guess i'm going to find out!! An...

Anyone that’s used sneak peak at home in the UK, how long did it take you to receive your results once sent off? Also was it accurate for you?
