Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hi all! I had my gestational diabetes test on 4th Nov, and I’ve yet to hear anything from it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m currently abroad (flew on 7th) and may have missed a call? I was wondering how do they normally contact you regarding result? I’ve heard it’s a letter? (Which I have not received anything a...

Any advice as a first time mum?

Mamas, I’m having a breech baby but her head is so high up into my ribs it’s literally making me nauseous and making my ribs and back hurt so freaking bad.

Finding myself jealous of women in this group who are 35 weeks as 5 weeks left sounds a million times better than 10 😭😭😭 honestly feels like the longest time in the world. I’ve been sick from day 1 and I am super over it now

I had my 20 week scan on Friday and baby girly was laying funny so we have to go back in a few weeks as they couldn’t finish all the checks they needed to. I have been to the midwife twice as I’ve been worried she’s moving less than normal and I feel like I’m going crazy 😫 I saw her two days ago and all was fine…

Do I panic if I’m 24 weeks tomorrow and still no kicks, when going for our scan the hospital said my placenta was in the correct place for me to feel the kicks. Just wondering if I should get in touch with the midwife or leave it another week and then seek help x

any guesses? 12+2 at time of scan🥰i tried to guess myself but can’t make out what i’m looking at😂

I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant! How do you not stress about how the baby is doing i between doctor appointments?!🥲😔 I’m always so nervous about if the baby is okay or not.😔

Hello lovely mama's! Has anyone experienced high blood pressure readings at appointments and is now being advised to take meds ? I have at appointments but generally is much lower at home e.g. 126/85 at home more like 135ish/85 in hospital.... I was so keen on a midwife centre led water birth, and high blood pressu...

I was at a restaurant earlier and I ordered a mock tail but they definitely had put alcohol in it. I didn’t know until I was done and i started feeling like I had a buzz. Anyways long story short, I’ve been depressed all day. I’m 13 weeks pregnant, I am just hoping nothing bad will happen to my baby. I’m just going ...

First pregnancy, 36 weeks tomorrow and I am really feeling the anxiety regarding labor and bringing this baby into the world. I feel a little excited but I’m overwhelmingly nervous and if I’m being honest, dreading it some. My pregnancy has overall been uncomplicated, but I can’t get over the fear of having a catast...

I always had anxiety but it is so much worst this pregnancy, I’m also having more panic attacks than ever. I feel suffocated and panicky almost always. I also have cptsd that I’ve learned to manage without medicine so this experience has me very uneasy.

Just took my BP it was 114/96. I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant. On Wednesday I didn't have any protein in urine. But today I just feel crappy, I didn't sleep, my heart rate is higher like 110-120, tired and headache. I did also get tdap and rsv vaccines Wednesday so could be related. Should I go in to get checked for p...

The GYN told me the babies placenta is low can this be a bad thing I am about to be 27 weeks?

I’ll be 40 weeks on 3rd Dec but have a c-section booked at 39 weeks on 26th Nov for health reasons. I am prepared in the sense that I have everything ready at home & my hospital bags are packed. I’m just so daunted by the thought that my little girl will be here in 10 days. I’m a first time mum and it’s really s...
