Is anyone else in the 3rd trimester and suffering with acid reflux and nausea? Feel like I’m going to throw up it’s just come out of the blue! 32 weeks and constantly retching not being sick though just an awful sensation in my stomach anyone else suffering with this?

I have a drug test on 11/20 for a job promotion that I desperately need & im afraid im not going to pass. I havent smoked since 10/29 or 10/30. Do you think it’s possible for me to pass if I drink nothing but water until then? Any tips besides the detox drinks?

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I feel like my stomach has changed and gotten smaller but based on past measurements baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. I feel like baby has just changed positions which is why my stomach looks different this week. Am I being anxious or should I ask my midwife?

Hi ladies I had my first midwife appointment earlier this week. I am currently 10+1 and was told that was high risk due to BMI and having endometriosis. Has anyone else had this? What was involved? Did you have a “normal” pregnancy without complications? I was already feeling nervous but now I feel worse

Officially 10 weeks left …. Hopefully 6 or 7 weeks…. Let’s get this wrapped up lol

Anyone mark on the calander when it’ll get better/easier? Internet says 6-8 weeks…6 weeks came and gone no better, 8 weeks came and gone no better. 3 months? 4 months? 6 months? 12 months? Some days i can’t deal

Did you wait for your doctor to explain your NIPT results or did you open on your own? lol just got results at 4am & nervous to open.

My heart says yes, but I'm an overthinker. Worrying about whether we can afford it, whether it's a right thing for my first born (what if they hate each other?!), worried about how hard it'll be too....

I’ve had high blood pressure for a few weeks now and it’s been controlled by medication. I went for a routine midwife appointment on Weds and it was a bit high so I’ve been admitted into hospital and been here for 2 nights now. They have increased my dosage and added some other medication to the mix but my blood p...

I just got a positive pregnancy test and it's my first child. I'm so excited but has anyone experienced this anxiety that it will all be taken away? Like I woke up and was like do you think the baby is still there? It's going to be a long 9 months

Been 3 business days and this is killing me!! How long did it take everyone

Hi guys, I’m currently pregnant with my first, getting close to 18w pregnant. I have always been the type of person that does not get angry and especially does not express anger. I’m usually very good at hiding when I’m grumpy and irritated and never let it project onto or impact others. But the past week I am SO c...

Hello I am 5 days postpartum from a c section and my anxiety is so bad I cry about 4 times a day everyday about nothing really and I obsess over anything that scares me like I feel like I have pain in my legs so then I obsesses that something is really wrong and the same with my heart I have pulpatations from consta...

Is anyone else really struggling with anxiety while pregnant? I know it’s hormones most likely but I constantly feel like I’m on the verge of having a panic attack. I had to leave work early yesterday because I just burst into tears over the silliest thing and couldn’t stop crying. I’m waking up in the night and m...

Hey ladies .. I am currently 14 weeks and have been taking the pregnacare since I found out I was pregnant. When do people start taking the pregnacare plus??

I’m absolutely losing my mind. I’m only 10dpo, and I know I need to wait. Try again in a few days. But… I have become so deranged with testing. I just test all day long. It’s driving me crazy. Does anyone see anything?! Why do I sometimes think I can see something? 😭

Anyone’s little ones had chicken pox whilst you’re pregnant with ur next baby. Wondering if it’s something I need to be worried about as Google is pretty 50/50. I tried to book a GP appointment and got told to speak to pharmacist and then when I mentioned about being pregnant, the receptionist told me “I wouldn’t k...
