Hi, I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with identical twins so this might be a good time to get a NIPT test. Has anyone done one and were happy or unhappy with the results? Any recommendations? My partner wants to do a really thorough one with micro deletions etc. so looking for some options, they seem to cost a fortu...

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and my partner, who was my best friend for 12 years before we got together and I love more than anything, is my least favourite person for the first time ever and I don’t understand why. I know he’s not doing anything wrong, but I’m just so moody and his breathing is even annoying me. Anyone e...

Anyone else have gallbladder problems during pregnancy ? This is my second gallbladder attack in a month. My gallbladder has never affected me before this pregnancy. I changed my diet to low fat after the first attack. With the risks of being pregnant they are refusing to do surgery to remove the gallbladder or ...

Should I be concerned about preeclampsia?? I have been under a lot of stress for months and even more stress the last two weeks. And I am 37 weeks and I have been to labor and delivery triage like four times and they keep sending me home. I can’t feel my baby more, lots of contractions, back pain, blurred vision wit...

Currently about to pop with my second born. I'm so anxious at the horrible thought I won't be able to love him as much as my first born. It's been in the back of my mind and I really try and ignore it, but as the date gets closer I'm more and more nervous.

As the title says…how many weeks after birth, did your period make an appearance..?

Anyone else feeling this? I didn’t have this at all in the first trimester 🙈

I’m 1 week postpartum and my belly is making really loud noises constantly, has anyone else ever experienced this?

Is it safe for them to fight in there, as they are in such close proximity to each other? I am a very petite woman and 25 weeks pregnant. These are fraternal or di-di twins in separate sacs. I honestly don’t even know if my belly can expand any further so that they have room. Hoping to make it to full term

I just got my first period since giving birth I'm 8 months PP, what should I expect? Super anxious as I've read some crazy things.

So I have been counting in weeks. All seemed fine until I post a “happy 6 mo” for my baby and got attacked by some moms who had their babies before me talking about how im wrong and he is not 6 months yet. 🤨Yes I understand using weeks when it comes to a year will hit before his 1st birthday. So im wondering how…

The last few weeks I've been feeling so anxious about giving birth. I'm now 40 + 3 and every night I get panicky and end up crying because I'm so scared for labour! This will be my first baby so I have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping for a water birth and gas & air but scared I won't be able to handle the pain ...
