I'm a FTM, currently 40+3... Had my 40 week midwife appointment on Friday and had a sweep which she said was successful and my body is definitely on the way to going into labour. Had a bit of a bloody show after this the past couple of days. I had an evening of period like cramps last night and thought it was the ...

Hey, I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with baby no2 and last time I had such bad HG throughout the whole 9 months, only easing slightly at 16 weeks. I’m so nervous for what’s to come, I’m scared of the feeling and being in hospital so much, any tips I would be very grateful 🫶🏼 xx

I’m almost 11 pregnant with my first baby. My first ultrasound is a couple days from now, but I don’t know how that’s going to go. I’ve been spotting (only old blood) off and on since 6 weeks and I’ve been to my clinic to get a swab and that came back fine. My OB says it could be any number of things and to try not...

I’m starting to get really anxious about birth. If I go for a natural delivery - I’m worried about not knowing when it will happen, will I know if waters break, what happens when you lose your mucus plus, how much it’s going to hurt, will I tear, what’s the recovery like and everything that comes with it. I really ...

Has any one hit the third trimester and suddenly feel really overwhelmed? I’m finding the unknown scary. I’m trying to control a situation (labour and when baby arrives) that I have no control over and it terrifies me! Hoping I’m not alone 🤞🏼

I had never heard of the nub theory until recently! We will find out from a genetic blood test within a week! What do you think?!

Found out after a recent ER trip that my pregnancy is now high-risk. This is super anxiety inducing since this is my double rainbow baby. Dealing with gestational hypertension and gallbladder issues induced by pregnancy, which means I’ll have to have my gallbladder taken out 6 weeks postpartum. I now have bi-weekly ...

Anyone do the NIPT test at 10weeks for gender and it’s wrong ?

So as mentioned I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I suffer from HG so it’s not been easy. I eat more often but very little amounts due to the nausea and sickness. I also tend to snack in between mostly when I feel like I’m going to be sick. My husband knows this and yet he said this. Am I right to be upset?

I’m 23wk nearly 24wk pregnant and just fell down my wooden stairs about 3/4 stairs, managed to catch myself as my leg went under me but I banged the lower part of my back. Should I be worried?

I’ve been getting really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts like was this pregnancy a bad idea, I know it’s not but I can’t help feeling like I’ve made a mistake and I’m gonna regret it. I feel like this makes me a horrible person and I’m not gonna be a good mum. I have an anxiety disorder and was told to come off m...

I am 5 months postpartum. I do not breastfeed. Stopped at 2 months pp. I have intentionally changed my diet. However I do not exercise at all. I avoid red meat, extra sugars, junk food, mainly eat grilled if I eat out, and I do not snack. If I need to snack, I might have a fruit or nuts or 0 fat yoghurt. But rarel...

Hey everyone! So this is my first pregnancy I’m currently 8 weeks as of yesterday and I was wondering, has anyone felt more forgetful than usual during this trimester or extremely moody? Any suggestions how I could better manage this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊

I have my glucose test in 2 weeks and I am so nervous. I have had horrendous sickness and was diagnosed with HG and I’m worried I won’t be able to do the test as if I eat or drink anything I will throw up. I’m also unsure if I’m allowed to take my anti sickness meds beforehand because if I don’t I know 100% I will t...

Has anyone else experienced more sickness in 2nd trimester than 1st ? Is this normal ? It’s my 1st pregnancy sorry 🫣

Generally curious What state your in, what place you went though and how much did it cost you for the test

This newborn stage is so hard, stressful! Can’t help but constantly panicking with every intense crying or discomfort. Is it just me ?

I just found out today that I’m pregnant and have a doctor’s appointment next week to confirm with them, and I’m curious how your partners all reacted when you told them about your second baby. We were talking this morning (before I took a test) and he says he doesn’t know if we should keep it. Is it just anxiety ab...

Around five months does your belly get really hard in the middle? Is that normal because I was laying randomly and my stomach just started like pulsing and then it just got really firm the belly.

Do you think boy or girl?
