Did you do the sneak peek gender test? Was it accurate?

I had a forceps delivery 5 weeks ago, I’ve just been reading up about it and has scared me that it could cause brain damage etc. Has anyone had a forceps delivery and baby been absolutely fine? Proper mum guilt putting her through that and now I’m scared of the outcome. I wish I did my research at the time.

I am 19 weeks today and feeling so full and breathless. This is my second baby and I didn't feel like this until near the very end with my first and I don't remember being as uncomfortable. I dont have a massive bump yet or a lot of extra weight but the way I feel I feel as if I've about 3 14 pound babies in there. ...

Hi all, I had my 20 week scan yesterday - very happy that the baby is perfectly healthy 🥰 and I found out it’s a boy 🩵 But…I also found out I have a low lying placenta covering the entrance to my cervix & need to have extra scans to check if it moves. If it doesn’t move I will likely have a c-section from 36…

So I've been having a gut feeling I will have pre-eclampsia again this pregnancy. Is it possible to have the high blood pressure, silver sparks, and slight headache and it not be pre-eclampsia?

🌸💙🌷🦋 I'm pretty sure I have an idea but how accurate is the nub theory REALLY?! 😂

Went to an event last night for 45 minutes and the music was really really loud, like night club loud. I've been several times before and it hadn't ever been this loud, they'd cranked the volume up for some reason this time. Been worried ever since about it possibly damaging the baby's hearing, like my ears hurt, I ...

Please guide, thank you! 6w7d

Hey, I am nearly 18 weeks pregnant with my first. When have you discussed birth plans with your midwife? Nothing really has been mentioned yet. Is 20 weeks too soon?

My little boy is 1 now and I’ve acted all week that my life is awful, everything is bad and negative and I’m so low and ofcourse my period has come today! But the week before I’m like a dramatic demonic bitch! My poor partner must hate me! He even said to me in an argument due on are you! Which I was very offended b...

Okay ladies how are we keeping our minds at ease after being told your baby is huge!? This is my second baby BUT my first was born 5lb12oz at 40+3 (17th percentile) This pregnancy at 37 weeks on the dot I’m measuring at 38+6 🫣 threatening to have over a 10lb baby by 40 weeks and I’m terrified to say the least.

Went today for my 36+3 appointment and it just suddenly hit me that I actually have 3 weeks till I give birth. I feel so lost since my appointment, like I am just now realizing that is actually happening. 🫢

What midwife app is the test done?

Are you all going off month birthday or 24 weeks? If they are ready?

I am meant to be due December the 8th but I am being induced in 2 days. I am so paranoid that the baby is gonna get upset to much or something will go wrong. The baby was small in one scan and the rest after was fine and all my checks thank god have been absolutely fine and baby is active but they want to still indu...

Is it just me or does it irk you when someone says they are pregnant for 10 months. Do they not know how a calendar works? Each month isn’t exactly 4 weeks, therefore you’re not pregnant for 10 months.
