Seems like things are about to get much, much worse...

Anyone else’s nausea returning in the 3rd trimester? 34 weeks and nothing I consume is settling well in my stomach. Haven’t actually vomited anything but I feel sick to my stomach constantly and have been taking frequent poops (sometimes multiple times throughout the day). Doctors appointment this Friday so hopeful...

So currently 34 weeks & 4 days look a mess sorry everyone only 5 weeks left to go due April 26th but loads of people say I’m really low and don’t think I’m gonna go to my due date what does everyone think :)

Has anyone had the nub theory be correct or incorrect? According to it I’m having a girl but want to know how reliable others have found it !

Random question. I have hair under my bellybutton where they will do an incision and I normally shave there. Can I still shave for the surgery or do I need to leave it?

Hi I am new to testing. Is a normal for a low result after a high result this morning which is now my peak?

Ladies who had pre eclampsia, how is your life now? Any of you are taking medication for high bp?

If so how soon after birth will you start? I'm gonna start using a belly for belly and back support but my pain hasn't completely subsided so I've not started it yet. Just wondering when would be the appropriate time?

My baby was born 21st October so he’s 21 weeks 2 days I get so confused with working out the age do you do it by the date of each month so 21st of each month or by weeks, as from weeks he is already 5 months but by date he is 5 months this Friday? Does anyone else get confused by this what is the best way to work i...

Any nub/skull theory predictions ?

Anyone else fail the 1 hr glucose test and have to do the 2 hr one ? Did you end up having it or were you cleared after the second time?

Boy or girl? 💗💙

Is anyone else getting indent/evap lines on their easy at home tests?

Hi everyone, need some advice/reassurance/knowledge. My midwife rang me today to say that my swabs for strep b came back positive. This means that I’ll need antibiotics via my hand when my waters break (immediately)/go into labour. Really stressed about being tied to an IV drip throughout the birth and also having ...

i have been taking sertraline for some years now and have continued to while pregnant with GP advice (any judgement will be ignored) and i’m just wondering if anyone out there has any stories of how their baby responded once delivered ?

Guys..I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I’m 7 months postpartum…and I have an almost 3 year old!! Ahhhhh!! I’m super super anxious but I know I want to keep the baby. I’m only 26 and will almost be 27 by the time the baby’s here. Is that appropriate for my age? Was it easy going from 2 to 3? I really struggled w...

TW - mention of stillbirth (not personally) Hey April mamas, we're nearly there! 🫶 I've been experiencing increased panic/anxiety since week 29 and noticed how it's mostly related to my pregnant body. I get triggered by my reflection in the mirror or at times the mere sight of my belly/chest in tight fitting…

I went to see my midwife today, however she was off ill so it was a different midwife, my blood pressure is normally around 110/70 and 120/80, however today it was 130/80, the midwife said it's fine but I worry incase she hasn't seen what mine normally are...I'm so scared about getting preeclampsia, I have no other ...

Hi mamas, I’m wondering what you all did to get over first trimester nausea. I’m currently 6 weeks and have been basically bedridden for the past week, unable to do or eat much. Also, how long did this last for you? It’s been nonstop for me and I’m exhausted.
