Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Totally aware I'm just hormonal but this is really irritating me. I'm 23w and we only really started telling people. We planned for our oldest to wear a jumper saying big sibling and they have been telling family which I think is cute. So far the first thing people have said is "awh I thought that" and its really ju...

I’m honestly clueless at nub theory . My husband and daughter thinks a girl . I’ll find out in the morning but interested to see what you experts think 😬

I had my GTT last week and haven’t been contacted so I’m guessing I don’t have it. I can see my results on the app though but there are no thresholds. Does anyone know the threshold for the fasting blood test and for the 2 hour one?

I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my second and have been prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection. I feel like death warmed up but it’s hard to rest with a toddler at home and working full time. Has anyone else been prescribed antibiotics? I know they are safe to take during pregnancy and I don’t know the point of thi...

I had my glucose test this morning - bloods, drink, 2 hour wait, second bloods. The drink was fine, as I've seen others say it was like a capri sun, the after taste wasn't great but it went away with water. Apparently the glucose drink they used to use was more like a thick syrup, where as this one was literally ju...

Tomorrow I'm going to be 38 weeks and constantly getting tummy tightenings (my favourite Brixton hicks lol) and feeling a lot of pressure whenever I waddle my ass about. I was wondering if anyone is feeling the same and if not how you all coping with the third trimester so far ? Because honestly...I'm a moody co...

Any guesses if so? TIA xx

I’m 20 weeks pregnant, can you take these?

I always knew I will do the NIPT test as soon as possible, of course I wanted the early reassurance the baby is healthy but also I was so excited about knowing the gender. I used Window to the Womb and got results within 4 working days. I loved that they add a password to the document containing the gender in case ...

I had my weekly checkup yesterday! OB said I’m starting to dialate. I’ll be 35 weeks Monday. How long do yall think I have 🩷 My son was my first and was stubborn. He stayed in til almost 42 and I never dialated til my water broke

I’m getting more anxious as the weeks go on! I’m due for my 20 week Wednesday and just feel dread I feel like I feel the baby only at night and not even sure it’s that it’s my first and I’m so anxious of something happening more so than the first trimester does anyone feel the same

I have had 6 rounds of clomid, and this is my very LAST and 6th round of letrozole so I’m pretty nervous about it anyway! Letrozole worked once but unfortunately lost it after a few days so this is freaking me out slightly! Can I please have options on if you think I will get a better line tomorrow or you think it’s...

So I have been told earlier in my pregnancy that I have Low PAPP A which is to do with the placenta hormone apparently this only effects 5% of pregnant women the risks being many can be normal underweight and higher chances of preeclampsia. Just wondering if any other mums have been told they have this. X

I’m in a weight loss journey.. I got many reasons to why I decided to work on myself. For health wise to get my pre body back before pregnancy. And because I felt like I needed to prove people that I could get there. I’m a little devastated because I mentioned it to my mom.. and I felt bad. I was 190 I’m at 184.4 an...

Hi, I am 41 weeks pregnant. Today I went to Triage because of pains I was experiencing a midwife checked, and I’m not dilated and my cervix is closed. I feel down and depressed.

So I’ve been to triage today and cutting a very long couple of hours short I’ve come home with Labetalol for my blood pressure as they didn’t like that it was slightly raised throughout my time in hospital. However I am a little unsure on exactly what the guidelines on with taking it if my blood pressure reads norm...

Twin pregnancy, 2 placentas growing. Extremely nauseous for weeks, had to visit ER for an IV with nausea medication. Can’t go 6 hours without Zofran. Anyone else having/had similar experience? Any hope it will get better?

I developed pre eclampsia at 39 weeks in my last pregnancy, anyone know if this puts me more at risk this time

Hi everyone. I am currently around 4 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about people’s 1st trimester with morning sickness or HG. I am severely emetophobic(scared of sick) and I was wondering if there is anything I could do to prevent feeling or being sick.

How’s everyone finding the third trimester so far? I will be 39 weeks on Sunday so not even been in it a week yet and already noticed a difference. My anxiety is definitely heightened overthinking any slightly symptom I have, today been feeling very nauseous and exhausted and achey and just so fed up just spent the ...
