Has anyone had this? Looks like the biggest risks are extra bleeding and retaining part of the placenta after birth. I’m trying to do a homebirth but wondering about the risk of making sure all of the placenta is out afterward.

Anyone else thrown up after the drink ? I did today but didn’t tell anyone (silly I know) but I’m NOT doing that test again I was awake all night with worry. And I’ve had no sugar in my wee they’re purely just testing me because my mum’s diabetic. And I’ve got a high bmi tbf 😳🤣

Not finding out but just love guessing 🥰 What do we think?? I can’t tell if the nub is prominent enough!

Any mums out there with a toddler and trying to protect their bump at the same time? It dosent matter what I do, but my toddler uses me as a climbing frame and I'm so worried they will hurt baby in tummy. Not my toddlers fault of course - they don't know any better and they just want mummy time. But still - I get wo...

Hey all! So I’m 29 weeks pregnant and sooo uncomfortable and restless, I feel so tight everywhere, breathing can be quite difficult also and it really makes me panic, whatever I do I can’t get comfy, I sit at work but feel like I need to walk and then as soon as I walk I need to sit again 😅 I’m tossing and turning…

Does anyone else have really bad pregnancy rage at the moment? I’m 22+2 and I’m feeling SO irritable. Luckily my husband isn’t actually annoying me at all 😂 I honestly don’t want to leave the house because I’m just foreseeing people annoying me 😂😂

How long did it take for everyone to get their results? Did my test on Saturday and they did say Tuesday/Wednesday for the results but I’m just anxious waiting, nothing updated on the app yet and dreading if the phone rings tomorrow

I don’t know when this happened but ever since I got in my third trimester, I don’t like eating anymore! Send help!!

I’m currently 9 weeks 3 days how are you all now? Why does it feel so slow?

Haven’t had my period in 4 months (I have a 9m old baby) and I stopped breastfeeding when she was 4m. Doctor said period can take up to a year to regulate also asked if I was pregnant I said no (there was no doubt in my mind). I am not on the pill but me and my partner were barely doing it and now started using cond...

We’ve been TTC for almost 2 years. This box of tests expired in September, I didn’t realize it until I was waiting for the result. I think I see a faint line… do you see it? And should I get my hopes up since it’s expired?

Hi there, when I had given birth I had a 3rd degree tear. I have the gynaecologist this week to check everything is okay. Im just a tad nervous. What should I expect

Can anyone please tell me how they’re coping 😩😂

First trimester sickness is kicking my butt! What’s your secret? I’m only 7 weeks and it’s getting worse by the day 😬

With my first baby I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia plus emergency cesarean section at 37 weeks of pregnancy, My baby is 19 months old. I am 10 weeks pregnant my doctor prescribed me aspirin to take at 12 weeks of pregnancy. Is there a risk if I don't take aspirin? Or if he takes, will he have any risk of being a...

Someone said they can't see the nub but I don't know if people have got other theories? It looks just like my little boy so I'm thinking boy.

So I’m 33 weeks and I went to my doctors appt this morning and my BP was 140/70. I have had a history of white coat hypertension (get super anxious at doctors offices) but they haven’t brought up my BP until today. It has always been over 130ish/70 the past couple of times when I’ve gone but when I take it at home i...

Anyone feel more hungry in the 3rd trimester esp in the night? Lately, I've been feeling all of a sudden starving in the evening like I haven't had dinner lol it's so strange but then i can't eat too much as I got heartburn.

Hi ladies, I’m looking for some reassurance! I’ve done some googling (I really shouldn’t, I know 😭) and apparently having an anterior placenta increases likelihood of longer/more painful labour/c sections etc. if baby remains “back to back”. I do understand it can move upwards, and that they tend to move, so that…

hey! does anyone have any tips for labor and delivery? I’m a first time young mom and I’m very very nervous for the epidural, and pushing. although I’m very excited to meet my baby girl I’m very nervous for labor and delivery as I’ve seen a bunch of stuff about postpartum and right after birth. I’m almost due so the...
