Hi Everyone , I had a fall but I landed on my knees and hands. Should I worry about it? I’m 11 weeks pregnant Thank you

38 weeks Ive been out to the shops today. And I've struggled! Was ok at first but then got this pressure, like really pushing down. Came home, went for a pee, made dinner and sat down. Usually the pain eases off. This time it's still there. It feels like the baby is pushing her head down, off-on-off-on. (Hard to ...

I’ve been told that if ‘sugar’ is found in my urine test tomorrow than I would have to go for a gestational diabetes test. I had a test with my previous pregnancy and all was fine. Has anyone found the best way to avoid picking up the sugar in urine? Avoiding sugar for so long beforehand etc..

If so, what are your guesses?

Sorry for the long message! With my first baby my waters broke and I went into hospital and ended up being induced, my labour wasn’t long and everything was going well I had gas and air and was enjoying the whole experience ( as much as you can) but then my baby’s heart rate dropped and his head was swollen so got...

So I couldn't wait the extra day to test and did it again right now. I was supposed to wait til tomorrow morning but I couldn't help myself.

Does anyone have any guesses please?

I’m pregnant again… I had a baby ten months ago and part of me is excited and the other part of me is terrified. I don’t know how to feel or what to think. I just know I want to be a good mom. And I hope I already am. Idk. This is just kind of a rant since I have no one else to really talk to about it. Anybody have ...

So if I ring up for an appointment at my GP about my periods not being right will they take me seriously and bring me in for tests? So basically I was tracking my period and I bled for 12 days then I stopped bleeding for 2 days and then I'm bleeding again. I want to blame my contraception (the pill) for this issue a...

I’ve just turned 23 weeks pregnant but this week I feel like I’ve gone back 12 weeks to how I felt in the first trimester. I’ve got no appetite, I’ve had nausea and sickness and I feel so tired to the point my body physically aches. I don’t remember feeling like this with my first pregnancy but I’m really struggling...

Did anybody start nesting on their end of second trimester?

Should I be concerned?

Im impatient i know 🙄 but i did a sneak peek at home test kit im around 9 weeks today so would have been 6 weeks at the time, And it came back as girl however the test went pretty bad and after looking at the reviews i was like oh they aren’t good. I shared the news with my mum and she then ordered a clinical one.…

I found out I was pregnant yesterday - I knew I wanted a baby but this came at a surprise - SOO excited tho. But I am terrified to tell my parents 🥲 I want to make sure my baby grows up with grandparents but my brain always thinks the worse. Any advice would be much appreciated 🤍🤍🤍

Has anyone experienced baby weight being normal but having smaller stomach size ? It’s giving me a lot of anxiety why it was suddenly detected. My close guess is it’s related to my placenta and it might be giving insufficient nutrients and flow or maybe my placenta is getting detached…? but I’m getting worried if th...

Is it possible to make a prediction when baby is so small?

This is my second pregnancy and I’m almost 21 weeks. I’m having di-di twins. I’ve had a healthy single pregnancy before this one. I have been having episodes of heart palpitations, dizziness, changes in vision, shortness of breath, and feeling like I’m going to faint. This is going on 3 weeks now. I have been regula...

Hey, Bit of a long one apologies in advance! My 1st born was born at 6lb 9 and because of this I have been referred to specialist consultants throughout my second pregnancy as my midwife has said the risk of an even smaller baby this time round is high. The specialist I saw the other day has said I’m high risk for...

What does this mean? I passed all the levels but my last reading was 67? The Labcorp tech went and used the bathroom and then took my blood. So it was almost 10 min past.

I had my first baby a week ago, and I feel so anxious about something bad happening to him! Is it normal to feel like this and does it ever stop??
