Any ideas please? 🥰

Someone please tell me I’m being dramatic and over worried… I’m nearly 19 weeks pregnant and work in EYFs in a primary school. Hand foot and mouth is currently doing the rounds and I’m slightly nervous regarding this. Someone please tell me I’ll be fine? Apparently you can come in with it but also some say you’re ...

It's been a whileeeeee I've been reminiscing more often through videos and pictures of when I first gave birth and I wanted to tear up. Time really flies! I'm fortunate to live in a country where we get up to 18 months extended maternity leave and can take my time with my small family vs having the anxiety of goi...

Hi everyone! 13 weeks 4 days! Any guesses 🩷🩵?

Hey girls! I’m trying to work out when Is the best time to start putting in the car seat, setting up the next to me, getting Moses basket set up etc… 35+2 due jan 13th first time mum 🫶🏻

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and I’ve got no signs of baby coming. I had my 38 week midwife appointment today and measurements had gone down. I have already had the growth scan and baby is looking like she will be 8lb 9 already. I was really hoping she would be here before Christmas but that’s looking more and more unli...

I’m 5’2 and and started this pregnancy at 108 so not necessarily underweight but just small yk. Ever since I got pregnant, everyone was telling me you know I was at risk for pre-term labor due to health, concerns and risk for a low weight baby. At my 20 week appointment, he was measuring in the 99% time so was feeli...

Trying not to worry. My first was in the correct position from 28 weeks so I just feel I need some advice or to do something different. It’s different when you have a toddler though!

Did anyone else have to have a diabetes test so late on? I had a test done on Monday (26 weeks) but the results have come back inconclusive and they now can’t get me back in until the start of January so I will be over 30 weeks… is this not too late? My midwife isn’t answering the phone either as she told me it wa...

I’m 33 weeks +5 days and had my 34 week check up today… on my portal it says trace ketones as well as 2+ for glucose in my urine…just wondering if anyone else has had this happen this late. For reference I passed the glucose drink test just fine… I’m sure Dr. will call tomorrow, but just curious if anyone has experi...

What are the chances of me being pregnant at almost 6 months pp while I’m exclusively breastfeeding (haven’t gotten my period back) & we’ve used protection? I just keep getting nauseous at random times of the day & I feel “off” if that makes sense. Honestly, I’m praying that the chances are low & there’s no way I co...

Went for 34 week appointment today.. and this is on my portal… I passed my glucose drink test with flying colors… anyone know what this could mean? Or what I need to do?

Does anyone else get more nervous about delivery the more times they do it? This will be my 3rd baby and I'm honestly the most scared I've ever been to give birth. I have 2 young kids who need me and I'm the only one that can take care of them. Even though, thankfully, I've had two perfect labors, I'm more and more ...

At my appointment today my doc classified me as high risk with increased risk of poor pregnancy outcome. Kinda freaking out. I’ve been pretty sick this pregnancy (flu, pneumonia, gallstones, surgery). Is anyone else high risk? She didn’t refer me to an MFM but is doing extra growth scans and blood work

I’m only 4 weeks but I was playing with my cat and I tripped landing on my hands , I am also an overthinker but I researched and it said this early on should be fine as it’s protected … any advice ?

Is guilt a common feeling during the first trimester? The nausea and laziness is in full effect so I do not want to leave my couch. My spouse works a busy labor job and has been getting home from work 10-11pm and I have no energy to get stuff for dinner and cook for him, I feel SO guilty and lazy. I’ve been home all...

Currently 26 weeks, was told at my 20 week anomaly scan I have a low lying placenta blocking the baby canal/cervix. I was told not to worry but they asked if I’ve had previous C-Section which technically I have. Even though this is my first pregnancy I’ve had a surgery last year due to an accident puncturing my stom...

What does everyone think? I don’t understand nub theory x

I went to my OB today because i have been having trouble feeling her move and got worried, (I’m 29weeks) they told me to come and were monitoring her. They then asked if my belly was tight and I said no? They then said I was having Braxton hicks according to the machine but I wasn’t able to feel them? Has anyone els...

Has anyone had this? If so is it just blood tests etc ?
