Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

I’m 37 weeks today and feeling so rough. I had a night of awful contractions which I’m pretty sure were baby moving head down as bumps dropped considerably and getting pelvic pressure. I’m so nauseas all the time and can only manage tiny meals if anything (normally I’m a massive foody so it’s hard!) heartburn is a...

Did you have a 180° moment when you became jealous of the women you once felt bad for because they got pregnant “too” young?

Ladies! First time momma, 6 months pp (c-section) and I’m really struggling with how my midsection looks 😔 I will admit, I did gain quite a bit of weight during pregnancy (about 50 lbs) but I’m only about 20 lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight and about 5% body fat from away from my pre pregnancy body fat…

21 weeks tomorrow and its been a week since i did one, before pregnancy that was pretty standard for me but now I’m pregnant I’m unsure whats normal and whats concerning i have severe food aversions so i eat quite minimal food and what i do eat probably isn’t the best How is it for everyone else?

I was wondering if I looked 8 weeks or smaller this has been messing with my head badly..

I feel like I’m carrying a big baby! Midwife has only measured my tummy once and on the fundal height chart she marked 90th percentile. I know that’s not very accurate measure but I feel like I’m really big, my bump is very big, I feel like I did at the end of pregnancy last time round and my first was 9 lbs 9. Anyo...

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant.. When does your OB go over your birth plan with you?

I’m hoping to use this app truly a bit as a village of support. I love to plan things out but of course understand that the birth of a new child can’t really go according to plan. After pushing for five hours, I was told that our daughter’s head was too large for my pelvis and I ended up needing an emergency c secti...

I’m 4 Weeks pregnant . And I done told this man to stop with the home improvement work . We don’t even need no damn home improvement. Maybe it’s the hormones and I’m irrated . Is it safe that I’m in the house when he painted the door with latex paint . I’m about ready throw away all his paint 🙄🙄🙄🙄. I’m not being…

So I don’t trust first response anymore after getting so many indents so I was wondering which test would be better a clear blue or a different one? And which clear blue blue dye or red? I’m 11 dpo and am wanting to test today if I could thank you!

34 weeks pregnant today and whilst I'm grateful, I've been sick more times than I can count and still being sick once or twice a week in this trimester, have pregnancy rhinitis keeping me up at night and have coughed my lungs out so much they're bleeding, my gums feel like they are on fire and are also bleeding. Had...

Hi ladies! When I had my daughter, over that course of 2 years I was down to 96 lbs at 4’11” tall. I looked sick, felt horrible (it was due to breastfeeding and just not eating enough in general). She’s now 3 and I worked extra hard to put on some muscle and gain weight back, and I’m now 122:) I do a lot of glute wo...

Exactly one week till I'm due and feeling nervous because I really want her to come in time or they may be suggesting an induction because of my gestational diabetes... really want her to come naturally :(

Hi I am 38+2 today and I think I have decided I want an elective section. I was massively undecided at my consultant appt at 36 weeks and I said I would just go with the flow and see what happens. I had a sweep on Thursday which seems to have been unsuccessful. I was barely even 1cm dilated and my cervix high. Don'...

I had my anatomy scan today and they said I have placenta previa. I’ve had no bleeding or cramping so far. From what I read 90% of cases resolve themselves but I’m hesitant to keep being active like walking my dog and yoga. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hey July mamas! With my due date coming up, I’m obviously very excited to open this new chapter of my life. But, I am also so afraid. I am 21 years old and this is my first baby. Of course, I’m nervous for child birth but that’s not the only thing. I’m scared of losing myself. I’m scared of not getting my body...

Does anyone have days where their stomach is so sore it feels like you're basically being ripped in two? I'm definitely hitting a rapid growth phase, and it doesn't help pgp/spd is starting to act up really bad. 😩 3rd trimester sucks, i couldn't even walk around for an hour without it putting me out for the rest of…

I’m approaching 30 weeks pregnant and I just feel like I can’t anymore. My belly was measured in the 97th percentile and I’m feeling HUGE. My body is sore, I am getting real tired, and all this while I’m chasing after my 2.5 year old attempting to potty train her (FYI it’s not going well). I feel so achey. I’m so u...

Can anyone tell if it's pink or blue?

This to some people may seem really daft…I go on holiday soon when I’ll be about 10 weeks pregnant but so nervous about my body confidence during the day! I’m bloated massively and obviously don’t look pregnant I just feel like I look overweight! I’m already struggling a bit even around just my partner to accept tha...
