I am so nervous about being high risk! I just found out I'm having triplets ( 7w 2d), the excitement hasn't worn off since I had fertility issues for 4 years and I feel like it's a blessing but I am also very nervous. What are some things I should know? How do you do it? The feeding, the sleeping, the pregnancy....t...

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'm 37 weeks with my first, and the closer I get to labour, the more I fear the possible complications that can happen in labour such as pre-eclampsia or hellp syndrome, etc, or complications for my baby. I know that worrying about it isn't going to help anything, but it's so difficult not to worry about those scena...

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...

we had our first midwife appointment today (8 weeks) and as it is our first pregnancy and my bmi was too high we have been told it is moderate risk for pre eclampsia. just wanted to know if anyone else has been through this and what advice they have? or how I can deal with the awful feeling being told my bmi says i ...

I didn't experience it with my first. I've been told the baby is head down, I've got bad braxton hicks that's making me feel sick. I'm starting to worry he will be early. Has anyone experienced this? I'm only 29 weeks 🫠

This pregnancy was very much wanted and I was excited when I saw the positive test. Baby will hopefully be my 2nd and LG is almost 2. Long story short I have worked out I won’t be entitled to mat leave. We are currently renting and were supposed to be buying a house but now thinking of moving in with my parents ju...

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby. And I have been carrying high with my girl. But the last couple of days I only feel her movements down in my lower belly and pelvis. My hips and lower back have been hurting so bad. And nesting is in full blown right now. I have been sleeping really bad lately. Part of tha...
