I just did my first preggo run and it felt so weird! I felt really guilty jiggling the baby around even though I know it’s safe 😱 seems to trigger the round ligament pain too!

Hey! I am 16 weeks pregnant and starting at about 8 weeks I have been having the embarrassing issue of severe chest and back acne.

2 weeks until I meet baby. I havnt felt how I thought I would throughout pregnancy. I thought I would feel bonded with my bump but still feels so surreal.

Anybody got anything that worked for them even slightly ? Just like foods or mints or anything? I’m a woman on the edge 🤣 even the smell of my own skin is making me dry heave 🤣

*Do not want to worry anyone who is pregnant with their first, this relates to a second pregnancy. Is it normal for the movements to feel strong so soon? I'm 21 weeks and the radiographer last week asked if I was getting movements and I said yes, they said "it'll be like butterflies". This really doesn't feel like ...

I’ve just been prescribed promethazine for my sickness and nausea. I’m feeling a bit nervous about taking it as I haven’t heard of antihistamines being used for anti sickness. Has anyone taken this before in first trimester? Thanks xx

Hey, this is my first pregnancy I’m currently 14w 2 days and I’m constantly worried about whether baby is okay. Does anyone else have this same problem?

I’ve been told not to trust CB tests. But I swear I can see a vvvvvvvfl there. I’ll post the no edited test in the comments and the strip test was a complete a BFN.

I had a one hour glucose tolerance test but now my provider is making me do the three hour one. I know you can pass if you drink a lot of water and walk around but that’s something that they don’t let you do when taking it so I was just wondering if anyone has passed without doing any of that?

Has anyone else been asked just to test before meals and before bed rather than after meals ? On 5 days of the week I test this way and on the other 2 days I test before meals and 2 hours after. But I feel like if I’m just testing before main meals the majority of the week can I not be missing problems with my sugar...

I am not sure when my last period was I was guessing around 24th December but I am 100% positive that we conceived on January 5th or 6th. The ER doctor is saying I am six weeks. I believed this up until I started doing my own math and six weeks just doesn’t add up. If we conceived on January 5 or 6, wouldn’t my due ...
