Hello ladies. I have GD, I was diagnosed at 34 weeks and I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. I've just checked how my midwife measured me the other day and my belly is no measuring 90th percentile. I'm 5ft1 and normally a size 6/8. I'm now literally riddled with anxiety that my baby is going to be huge! Anybody else in th...
Ok so I did the Down syndrome blood test on the 11th sep, now it’s been a week, just wondering how long it takes for the result to come? And where exactly is it gonna be sent to? Like via email? Post? Phone call?
Hey I’m currently going through a high risk pregnancy I’m carrying my baby girl with no (very little) fluid I’m now 28 weeks and doctors are saying her lungs are not developed as they should be as well as kidneys having cysts on and both kidneys are small and they do not think she will live longer than a few hours...
Any ideas? These are the only two photos we got 💙🩷
I have my 1 hour glucose test today. Anyone else had theirs yet? I’m hypoglycemic and tend to pass out when my sugar levels are off, so I’ve been really dreading it. On the bright side, I just drank the drink and it wasn’t too bad! Now I just have to hope I don’t get sick before the blood draw. 😬
Has anyone had gallstones in pregnancy? I’m 31+5 and I’ve been having horrendous flares since 20ish weeks. I’ve ended up in a&e a few times with it. I’ve been told I need my gallbladder taken out after baby is born, however they’ve now said they could potentially do it before he’s born but that poses risks - I’ve re...
Is anyone else itching for another baby yet? I know I am🤣 I miss my newborn :(
So I’m 27 weeks with my first baby and just really not enjoying pregnancy like I thought I would. I’ve wanted to be a mum my whole life & thought I would love showing off my bump & just “glowing” but it’s not the case. I am a bigger woman so my bump is not completely obvious and I think the world just thinks I’m fa...
I’ve heard about the nub theory but no idea based on these pictures! Any guesses? 🤣
Hi ladies, hope you’re all well. I don’t know if I’m just being silly and overthinking things but since I’ve been pregnant I have lost almost a stone. I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and I definitely have a bump but I’m a little scared that the losing weight maybe be to do with the baby not growing? I’m type 2 diabetic so I h...
Hi all, This may seem like a silly question, but did you notice that you had more braxton hicks with your second baby? I’m currently just gone 31 weeks but I seem to have been having them on and off all day every day since 30 weeks?! I got them early with both pregnancies so quite used to them, but I don’t ever re...
Is anyone else finding their skin has gone mad since being pregnant? I’ve got the worst acne on my chin and it’s really getting me down. I feel so self conscious. I’ve just started Skin and Me (about 3 weeks ago) but I just want something to make it better! I’ve heard of skin 47 and wondering about trying that. Has ...
I know walking can help with labor, and it’s something you can generally start anytime, but during my first trimester, I had a bleed during the scan and was told to take it easy. Anytime I walked more than usual, I’d start bleeding, and they advised me to avoid any risk, especially since I’ve had a previous miscarri...
I had my baby a week ago and I've been having random spurts of wanting/needing to cry. And on top of that I've been snapping at my partner as well. I feel horrible for doing it, I just don't have much control over it. My Dr says it's normal and that they aren't worried about it but I'm not sure how to handle it eith...
I got huuuuge with my 1st. Like i went from being scrawny my whole life to fitting in plus size clothes in the last trimester. I also ended up having pre eclampsia which resulted in an emergency c-s and a whole load of complications for me after. I know i over ate with my first and i wonder if that has something to ...
i’m currently 12 weeks pregnant and i’ve started talking to this guy, and i’m unsure on when i should tell him i’m expecting. i feel like doing it to late/when we get serious would be kinda wrong of me, but i don’t wanna spring it on him if this isn’t gonna go anywhere. any advice on when would be best to tell him?
Wondering if anyone has used an instant results at home gender test, yes I am far enough along actually more than, but I would like to prepare ahead of time for baby as I’ve had two others and it’s just what I do lmao. 😆 I know my O.B. Clinic can do this but things have been pushed so far out with short staff that…
So, I had GERD before getting pregnant. I was on medication. They lowered it to as needed. Well last night, I had the worst flare up of my life. Throwing up acid and nose bleeds. So I went to my primary today. I’m back on the meds every day with the addition of another one. They say it’s safe during pregnancy. I don...
So I ended up having to go to labor and delivery yesterday and they wanted to keep me to watch his heart rate and they did a NST and I’m curious what this means if any one knows that would be great, they did mention preterm labor and I can’t fight the feeling of me being dead tired and I’m so hungry but don’t wanna ...
How does everyone feel at 33 weeks. I keep getting cramps in my lower belly and back and then right at the top of my belly. And having upset belly and nausea. Any one else feeling like this ?
