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. 🫢

So according to my first day of my last period, I’m 17 weeks today. But from my ultrasound & blood work, my baby is measuring at 18 weeks (a week ahead). Which do I go by?

I’m 40 weeks today and had an appointment with my midwife. She checked and told me I’m 0 cm dilated, and my cervix is completely closed and tight. I’m feeling so exhausted, tired, and a bit defeated and sad. Please share any positive experiences or reassurance about how this phase will come to an end.

Hey I have an anterior placenta I felt some small kicks but then for a day or so I haven’t felt anything I am only 22+6 (baso 23 )days so I don’t think it’s anything to worry about just yet is it ? X

So after weeks of being in and out of hospital with high blood pressure, I have finally been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia 😢 I am obviously upset and frustrated and I know there is nothing I can do.

This is my 2nd baby 1st trimester I felt fine and 2nd trimester has hit me hard 🤢🤮

Hi guys, I’m hoping y’all can help! Pre-pregnancy I was 210lbs and now at 31 weeks I’m 169lbs. My baby is measuring great and seems perfectly healthy, but I’m literally struggling.
