My baby is 13 weeks rn should I just be saying 3 months lol

I just got these from yesterday. Do the numbers look okay?

Hi, I went into my maternity triage earlier today for reduced movements. Was hooked up to the monitor as baby started moving around 20-30mins after that so that was reassuring. However, they wouldn’t let me go home until babies heart rate reached and stayed around 160bpm for atleast 10 minutes. I thought this was bi...

I just today found out I’m pregnant🥰 I have PCOS so my periods are really irregular and therefore aren’t accurate to guess how far along I am. Done two just to make sure.

How long did it take you to get your results back from just your 3 hour glucose test and nothing else? I got mine done yesterday morning and I'm very impatient lol

Help! I just got my lab results and I failed the 3- hour glucose test… it was close… but it’s still over the threshold 😓😓 I haven’t heard from my doctor yet and probably won’t since it’s the weekend, and i don’t want to panic all weekend about what this means! Can someone tell me what this will mean? What will…

Hi. I just found out I’m pregnant for the second time a couple of days ago. My little boy is 20 months and this was planned and at first I was really excited and happy and I know it’s only been a few days but last night I started getting the worst anxiety washing over me. It suddenly all came back to me, the feeling...

Hi there Just wondering if anyone is glucose finger prick testing for GD… have your team asked you to test 1 hour from starting a meal or 1 hour from ending it? I find it weird that mine have said 1 hour from starting. Sometimes I eat a meal in a matter of minutes (breakfast) but if I’m having a nice dinner it migh...

I’m currently 3+6 weeks pregnant after we lost a baby in October at 5+1. I found out at 3+2 so super early and the excitement has very quickly turned into crippling anxiety. Any tips to stop me from spiralling? 😞

Has anyone else’s nausea gotten worse in second trimester? I was mostly fine in my first trimester, just very exhausted. However in my second trimester it seems to have flipped and I am constantly trying to be sick if I don’t snack 24/7. It’s awful!

My daughter is with her dad for the first time ( without me there) i just left them today and she will be with him till Sunday. Am I wrong? For wanting to know what she's doing every sec or checking to see if she ate or is changed. i dont know why I feel so nervous 😩

I’m always more short tempered with my kids and anxious during that week and just want to help myself stay more even keeled during that time!!! *breastfeeding friendly!

If I’m 13 weeks pregnant and some of the months have 5 weeks instead of four would I be 2 months or would I be going in to my fourth month

This is not a post to try and frighten any first time mums or those who are nervous about birth already. This is just my personal experience and all of my friends and sisters have had lovely, positive births 🙂 this is my 2nd baby - my first birth was very traumatic and ended in a major haemorrhage and blood…

Why doesn’t anyone tell you how horrible your first period after birth is? I’m 8 weeks pp and started my period yesterday morning. Omg the pain and the heaviness! I was not prepared 😫

Was sat on the bus which nearly crashed I almost went flying and ended up twisting my torso to keep myself up. I'm 15 weeks, my back is killing me. I am sooo scared. What if something's happened???

Fast forward to (32 weeks) I’ve since been positive for glucose in my last two urine sample so have to go for another test and now I’m panicking that I’ve got it.
