Anyone else feeling nervous for birth this time round? This is my second and I was so ready for labour with my daughter but this time round I’m full of nerves , I didn’t have a very good experience the first time round so I think that’s why I’m abit like ahh! I just feel worried about absolutely everything, somethin...

I’m sure dr is accurate lol, I just have so much anxiety after 2 miscarriages😭 thought I was further along but did an ultrasound yesterday and it was too early to see anything and I was told that it seems I’m more like 5 weeks. I’m just feeling so on edge, I know I need to try to stay calm 🥲

I’m really struggling with body issues at the moment and I feel so low. I was hoping by now I’d look a lot more pregnant but I just look even more overweight. I know I shouldn’t compare, but I just feel so insecure and don’t want to leave the house. Did anyone else feel this way at 27 weeks? For reference I’m a s...

Me and my husband went through years of infertility and we are finally 8w6d with our IVF miracle baby. We haven’t been intimate since we started FET treatment 10 weeks ago and it’s not because we don’t want to, I’m just so anxious about something going wrong, I had a little bit of spotting at 6 weeks and I think tha...

Sometimes I forget I’m pregnant bc I’m so used to living alone and having to do everything I just kind of do it without thinking, I lifted my ottoman bed up and my back is uncomfortable now. Will I be ok, I did it a few times only but I’m just worried it’s gonna put a strain on baby

So I did the one hour glucose test yesterday and my results is 204!!! I know that’s failing so has anyone else failed their glucose test? I’m stressed about it now because every other test result I’ve had came out perfect!

So according to the hospital and midwife I’m exactly 37 weeks today. I’ve just looked through my ultrasound notes and it says gestational age ‘by dates’ is 40w+5d today however the standard gestational age is 37 weeks. This has thrown me right off. Where has this estimate come from? How accurate do they really get t...

I haven’t told anyone about my pregnancy yet but I’m getting so so nervous about telling my sister. She’s getting married on August 16th and I’m due sep 23rd. Will I be able to do it?? I guess no one can truly answer that question as we are all different. She’s asked me to be a bridesmaid which I cannot let her down...

Have you guys noticed higher blood pressure in 3rd trimester? I am noticing more 124/80 blood pressures at home compared to my regular 110/70 which was majority of my pregnancy. My OB doesn’t seem concerned and tested my urine etc. everything normal. Am I being over dramatic about worrying about blood pressure incre...

Hi. My OB ordered a glucose test at 10 weeks for some reason. I have no history of diabetes and I didn’t have gestational diabetes with my first. My test came back at 142 and the range was 140. And they made me fast for the test even though I wasn’t supposed to. Is it accurate?

Hey yall I’m getting my strept b test tomorrow tell me what I should be expecting ☺️ I’m 37 weeks.

imagine someone having a go at you because you tell someone to get their symptoms checked by a health professional to ensure the safety of them and their baby. this know it all thought it would be smart to make a comment about me having a c-section and being a young mum so apparently that makes me clueless about pre...

My family tells me to take it easy but I know I should exercise. Anytime a little more active I get bad hip/low back pain. And pain in my lower abdomen like under my belly. Is that normal? Should I be moving more and deal with the pain? My BMI was already high before pregnancy and I’m trying to keep my weight down.

Hii moms!! Okay so I’m 21 weeks pregnant with my first little girl, she’s usually super active and I feel her move ALL the time but it’s been 2 days now that i haven’t felt her at all. Idk if I’m overreacting or wtv but I’m super worried and idk what to do😅 so is it normal or what should I do?

I weigh around 21 st. I know it’s a lot and I’m pregnant with baby number 2. I’m scared. I’m worried my weight and being pregnant will impact my health. Or midwife’s will be horrible. Any advice ?

It was right with all mine that showed nubs at 12 weeks. I believe it is when done correctly. Some those paid companies lean on partials and give it a bad name!

Has anyone gotten a root canal and crown done while pregnant? I’m currently 26 weeks and scheduled to get it done this weekend. I’m not in any pain and I’m nervous about if I should.

This is my second pregnancy and I'm high risk has anyone else had to take the test this early?

Hi! I’m 30weeks +2 and I have an appointment tomorrow with the endo team! I can choose to have another C-section after having one with my daughter, I just wondered how long before you all had yours did you get your date to go in?

August 2nd pending 🥹what do we think?
