Is anyone taking an antidepressant whilst pregnant ? I’m assured citalopram is safe but I still can’t help but feel paranoid

Anyone else pregnant with toddlers in tow and struggling a bit? I'm overjoyed to be expecting baby 3 but yikes this first trimester is so tough and exhausting. Any tips? I feel like I'm being dragged backwards through it atm x

How far along are you? And what are your symptoms☺️

Has anyone had their gestational diabetes test at KGH recently?? How long do did it take for your results to come back and how did you get the results?

Posting just for fun as we are planning to find out at our 20 week scan and keep it a surprise for our families. (Although some are already convinced they know what we’re having!) 🤣 I’ve looked into the nub & skull theories but I’m not 100% sure of either.

Hey guys, I’ve got my NIPT tests this Saturday (I’ll be 10+ 6) via a private doctor and I’m super nervous 🙈 who else has had NIPT’s done, and how long did it take for you to get the results? Did a doctor call you, or did you just get sent a report? I’ll be on a business trip the following week and I’m terrified of…

On the 17th the number was 82 and on the 21st it was 725, is that a good jump?

Anyone having their diabetes check today? How did it go? I’m so anxious!

Has anyone experienced easy @ home being bad strip tests? 2 days in a row I’ve had what looks like indent lines on my tests, but surely they all can’t be indent? Could it be vvfl? Can someone comment and let me know as I’m starting to stress myself over this.

I think postpartum anxiety might be creeping in? I’m 4 months PP and I’ve only experienced mild PPR but today I just feel “on edge” or very anxious, a lot of anticipation for nothing. Like I have no reason to feel this way or no triggers , just casually going about my normal day but feeling so tense. And noticed mys...

Who here is suddenly experiencing high blood pressure? I had pre eclampsia with my daughter (she's about to turn 2). This pregnancy has been amazing, and I've had zero issues until I hit 36 weeks. Now my obgyn is talking about possibly scheduling my C-Section for next weekend. My labs all look pretty good, so i kn...

I'm 30 weeks on Thursday, I just noticeably leaked today through my shirt. How do I collect this? Do I need to wait until I'm 36+ weeks?

Has anyone used the early gender tests, pretty sure it’s called sneakpeek and you basically send off some of your blood and they check the chromosomes? Apparently they’re 99% accurate but I want to hear from actual people lol

12+6! A repost as no replies before. Girl or boy, what do you think? 💘 I really don’t understand the nub theory so some extra eyes would be lovely x

Any other May mamas having their gestational diabetes test tomorrow? Is it weird I’m more intrigued to form my own opinion on the uber sugary glucose drink? 😅

I need to get rid of this Amazon Forest down there!!! 😂 and Waxing would feel so nice as i’ve done it before! I’ve done hollywood wax before and was fine but haven’t done it for a long while meaning the hair is course and not fine anymore. Doing it now can be painful. But would the tensing be safe if i did it now…

Please tell me this is a common feeling and it will go. I’m 10weeks with our first baby but everything my partner does annoys me now and I’m sitting here getting upset at things and questioning weather I made the right life decisions having his child. I feel so guilty feeling like this but everytime he does somethin...

Is anyone else feeling a little sad as their pregnancy is coming to an end? I’m currently 35+2 so I’ve got over 4 weeks until my due date but I woke up feeling a bit sad that soon I won’t be pregnant or have a bump anymore. I’ve had very mixed feelings recently. Yesterday I felt done with being pregnant as I’ve h...
