Feeling very anxious due to having fluid on baby’s neck and having a high results coming back for my first blood test. I have now had a NIPT test done and waiting on the results in 7 days. It’s consuming me! Just looking for some similar mums out there in the same situation ❤️

I’ve just gone for my first lot of bloods and my glucose drink - they sent me home saying I can wait there instead. But I’ve just been sick from it and have only been able to keep it down for an hour. What do I do??

I have a little boy already and have suffered HG in both pregnancies so I'm really hoping this little one is a girl. Anyone familiar with the nub theory or skull theory. I'm so curious

I’m currently pregnant with my third (I have a 6 yo girl and 3yo boy) and I am scarrrred! I don’t know why I am so nervous for the changes in my body, and with my mental state. We have a mini van, a spare room and we both wanted a third, but the moment the test came up positive OMG I was nervous. How is it going fro...

28 weeks with my second and I’m not sure why but I didn’t realize how much harder subsequent pregnancies would be. My first pregnancy was not bad thank goodness. I had pretty mild issues like heartburn and round ligament pain but WOW this time I feel like I’m falling apart every single time I move or breathe. I’ve b...

Did any mama do sneak peek? I did mine at 6 weeks 2 days & got boy! Is the test 99.9 percent accurate like it says it is? Or have any mamas have diff experiences?

So I’m 37+2 and being induced on Friday. I’ve had multiple episodes of reduced movements and I was over this afternoon as my girl just wasn’t moving. She moved when I was in the hospital, they were happy and I felt better. I’ve been home since half 3 and her movements haven’t been the same as her normal. I dunno if ...

I am now 4 months postpartum. This is my first baby, i had her with an epidural. Before my pregnancy id get migraines once or so a week. The entire time i was pregnant I didn't have one migraine. Like i said. Im now 4 months postpartum, and i have a migraine just about every single day to the point any noise or ligh...

I am normally such a planner, prepping so far in advance for things and filled with anxiety, but baby is on the way in Jan and I’m more chilled than I’ve ever been in my life, to the point I haven’t really bought much and keep thinking I’ll get it all in December! Am I delulu?? Or is this normal?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with GD. Today is only my second day testing at home. I was reading through some posts on here and when I see people refer to their levels they’re saying numbers like 10 and 12. I’m just confused as my readings are like in 95-150 range. The directions were kinda confusing and I’ve yet to...

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant I felt movement over week ago and not really felt much since I also don’t really feel any different in pregnancy always worrying I contact the midwife she let me hear heart beat said it was good but I have so much anxiety from not feeling any more movement ik it’s still to early i just ...

Just wondering about people’s food aversions during pregnancy. I’m really excited and want to start trying for a second baby but my first pregnancy I was so unwell with the smell of anything cooking, onion, garlic, curry. I would just throw up all the time 😓 Just wondering if anyone has had a completely different…

At my 20 week scan I got told that my placenta is covering my cervix, and that they would rescan me at 28 weeks hoping it will have moved, and they couldn’t see it due to babies head being in the way (he’s head down), so they want to scan me again at 32 weeks. I wasn’t given any information about what placenta prev...

So last night I got very stressed out and was arguing with somebody which I know I should have just tried to stay calm.. but afterwards within about 10 minutes and since then I have just had this really uncomfortable pain in my lower stomach/uterus which feels quite sore to be honest. I am 37+3, I have still felt ba...

When I EBF my 2nd child, my period didnt come in until maybe a year after birth. This time round, my son is only 5 weeks on and i started getting cramps yesterday followed by red when wiping now I've started. Light flow but its blood. Am just so surprised I've started so quickly. Im still EBF and expressing a little...

I still think about everyday how the Dr said when I had my baby maybe my date was wrong because I was due Dec 9th but my son came Nov 9th he said it’s so crazy how he came same day but a month ahead and was full term weight😂😂😂 what do you think? Was my real conception date in feb instead of March?

I’m 22w pregnant with my second baby and I am dealing with crippling anxiety! I can’t sleep, I’m struggling to eat & feel like it’s stopping me from looking after my 10month old baby properly! I feel so restless ALL. THE. TIME! There doesn’t seem to be any obvious triggers (not that I can even think straight) it’s...

I’ve just taken my first anti-sickness tablet at 11 weeks after throwing up continuously for about an hour, and I’m not sure why but I feel really guilty about it. Like I’m letting baby down 😔. Not sure why I’m posting this really other than to see if anyone else has felt the same?

At what point would the pain of your braxton hicks concern you? I’ve had them on and off throughout this pregnancy from relatively early on so I’ve gotten pretty familiar with how uncomfortable they can be.. but since 5:30pm this evening the tightenings seem to go from the top of my stomach to down below and I’ve fe...

These are my test results
