We’re not finding out but I’d love to know people’s theories. It’s all so exciting. Thanks in advance ❤️

So I'm having a planned c section around 39 weeks. I'm currently 37+2 I was told I would find out this week by email my date and time. For those who have been through planned c sections. How long did it take for you to be given a date?

Is anyone else struggling with nausea more with your second pregnancy? With my wee boy it didn’t really kick in from what I remember around 8-9 weeks (I remember trying to hide it in work haha) but this started on Saturday at 5+5 and I have felt AWFUL! I know every pregnancy is different but my god this is not…

So aside from suffering with all kinds of GTI issues, i now hit my 29th week. And i can absolutely say that starting with my 28th (right when i hit 3rd trimester) it became unbearable. Even when i eat little portions it feels that my belly is about to explode. For real! It is hard to breathe with my full lungs. I...

Ladies please help. I have to go take my glucose test tomorrow and I am FREAKING TF OUT lmao I’ve cried 3 times today over it . I’m so terrified it’ll make me nauseous/vomit or feel weird . I have always been terrified of vomiting and haven’t yet this pregnancy even with severe nausea but idk this test mentally is...

When can I start collect Colostrum? I’m 24 weeks is it to soon?

Should I count the 4 weeks and one month separate? The one month mark doesn’t fall on her 4 weeks and I’m just curious how to count it.

I have had my ob since June and at first she was great but for the past couple weeks she has been very short on our appointments. She has shown up late which I could understand the first couple times but it has been a constant thing. I have voiced my concerns and she just brushes them off as normal pregnancy symptom...

Had my 38 week appointment today still zero meters dilated and my BP was high. They’re making me go in and get labs redone for pre eclampsia. Ugh! This is so discouraging I just want my baby boy to be here and be with me.

Hi mamas and mamas to be, I’m 37 weeks today and getting a planned c section on my 39th week ,in two weeks exactly. I watch reels and talk to family and friends who are excited for the baby but really I can’t imagine it happening! It’s like the pregnancy and the baby inside me is something and what will happen and ...

Hello lovelies I am having a planned c-section on the 10tb January when should I start shopping, some times I think about it I feel like it’s to early and some times I feel like I am really close to my date?

Hi everyone. I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first child, a baby girl. However I am not feeling maternal at all and it’s making me feel so guilty and like I’m going to be a terrible mum. I have some pregnant friends who are literally obsessed with their bumps, talking to them all the time, constantly buying things f...

I don’t understand the skull or nub theory, but curious to see if anyone has any guesses? This was at 13+4 weeks, and the sonographer gave us her guess but I’m interested to see what others may think 🤗

My baby girl will be 9 months this week and I’m 7 weeks pregnant which I just found out last week. I feel way more scared than the first time around. Idk if it’s because the first we tried for and this second pregnancy is a surprise. Or if I’m terrified to have 2 little ones so close in age. Just wondering when the ...

So I had my booking appt with the midwives last week, 2nd pregnancy but daughter was born prem 7 years ago. They’ve marked me as high risk? (I think because of my daughter being born at 33w previously) but now also prescribed me aspirin to take every night. Is anyone else in a similar position or has been prescribe...

I’m a bit of a fitness freak. I’ve struggled with body image really badly for a long time and the way I deal with it is eating right and exercising everyday. However it’s so hard to manage when the thought of the healthy meal I have planned makes me gag and all I was it nuggets and chips (beige stodgy food) and on t...
