Every 2 weeks.

Is anyone else already going every 2 weeks. I started at 20 weeks this time around. I’m high risk and they have to keep watch but also I hate going so often.

Extreme anxiety during pregnancy

Hi all! I’m 13 weeks pregnant and I have been feeling so much anxiety, tight throat, and had 2 panic attacks. I’m anxious about everything. It’s not about the pregnancy my anxiety or becoming a first time mom. It’s just anxious over everything that’s small and insignificant. I had anxiety before but nothing like thi...

Nervous

Hi mamas! I had my daughter in June of ‘24 and am pregnant (unplanned) due in December of this year. I’m five weeks along but am panning on scheduling a C-Section as early as my OB says is safe. Is 18 months between births enough? Scared of putting too much stress on the scar.

Post partum bod

C section mamas - how long did it take for yous stomach to go down and back to ‘normal’? I’m 8 weeks pp and still cannot fit into any pre pregnancy clothes. My stomach feels like jelly!

Chat GPT

Does it annoy you that people use Chat GPT for literally everything now? I just saw someone posting that they asked it if their pregnancy test was positive. Like, it's so bad for the environment and then you're going to ask it for something ridiculous like that when you know you'll need to go to a doctor to get con...

Pre eclampsia

I went to triage last weekend and they said I'm pre eclamptic again (2nd pregnancy). I'm currently 37+3, last time I ended up having my baby via c-section at 37+5 due to failed induction/pre eclampsia. However my section this time is booked for 39+4, (was booked before diagnosis) I've got to go for a check tomorrow ...

Anxiety

Is anyone else feeling really anxious? I’m 15 weeks currently and I feel so worried about baby constantly. It’s the worst I’ve felt in the pregnancy so far! I don’t know if it’s just because my symptoms (sickness etc) are slowing, but still can’t feel baby, so it doesn’t feel real! Has anyone else felt like this?

Not pregnant but keep getting asked if I am!

I’m definitely not pregnant and have a 16 month old. I’m a size 12 but I suffer with bloating/ibs issues so I have a bit of a tummy which is out of proportion with my body. Some days are better than others however a few people at work have asked if I’m expecting. If I have said I’m fine a bit too cheerfully then the...

Struggling to eat well

Has anyone else struggled with eating in 1st trimester? I am 8 weeks, I usually eat very healthy and clean but since about week 7 the smell of food disgusts me particularly meat and anything seasoned. I usually love cooking and always eat lots of veg but my partner has had to do more of the cooking. If you experienc...

2nd trimester anxiety

Hi mamas. I’m wondering if anyone else’s symptoms just kind of randomly disappeared near the 16 week mark? Don’t get me wrong I’m so glad to feel more like myself but without the symptoms how do we know our babes are doing okay?? Just a nervous mom😅

Small babies

Anyone else’s baby weigh in smaller than expected at their 4 month check up? 😭😭 as a breastfeeding mom it’s so hard to not feel guilty/ responsible! My doctor isn’t concerned and says she’s super healthy, just smaller, but the mom guilt is kicking in :’)
