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?

random question- but does your baby stop being a newborn at 8 weeks or is the last day of a newborn 8 weeks + 6 days?

I hope I’m not the only one feeling this way. Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed my appetite has decreased, and my diet isn’t as good as it was during the second trimester. I feel hungry all the time, but I no longer have cravings or a desire for anything specific. I also feel like I’ve lost the motivation to coo...

When do you find out if the baby is engaged? I'm almost 36 weeks, and I've not been told anything like this.

I never want to be jn my first trimester again in the winter!! My 16mo is sick with the flu and I’m absolutely exhausted as I’m 6 weeks! Anyone else really struggling with sick toddlers and pregnancy? 🫨

Nothing scary like emergency but the pressure is up high and I just want my belly to drop already ! I’ll be 38 weeks on Monday. Baby is verrrry active. He’s been head down for a few months now but kicking up high so...

I had my baby on the 18th of this month. After a 5 day stay in hospital, induction using the pessary, then gel, then eventually getting my waters broken and then the hormone drip, then a failed epidural ending in a emergency c section. Baby is healthy and happy, but I am absolutely terrified of everything. She can ...

Basically is 6 hours away (in good traffic) a good ideaa?

So I'm so confused with my pregnancy dates. I'm currently 7weeks 2days LMP was 10th November so how am I so far on if the 10th November was only 6 and a half weeks ago, I thought they work from the first day of your last period? I had a mc on 15th October and I track my periods sex etc through the flo app but I n...

I had my little one in October when I was 19 and I turned 20 in the November. All the midwives and health visitors have been absolutely lovely however as soon as my little one went to the gp for his jabs I felt so judged by everyone there! All very cold towards me and talk down to me as if I have no idea what I’m do...

Hey everyone! Happy holidays. Im 37 and 18w 3d at the moment. I'm getting really nervous about my 20w scan, and if everything will be okay.

Hi I need a little bit of advice ! I’m 8 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I’m super nervous for labor even tho it’s still longs way to go . What are some advice to going more natural ? I used the epidural and it was a living h**** for me . It dropped my babies heart rate and was getting pushed into a c section...

So I had my baby girl 12/4. The first time around in 2023 with my baby boy I was concerned and stressed about my milk supply as a first time mom it ate me up and stressed me. This time around I’m not stressing about that. This time I don’t like how my body looks 3 weeks post C-section (2nd one) I’m highly scared of ...
