Community Posts, Tips & Support on First Trimester

Just wanted to wish everyone who is still expecting to meet their miracle this month, good luck and best wishes. Especially for first time mums it can be hard at times but it's all temporary. I am 5 days post c section and I have got baby blues, so a lot of emotions are going through my body but I know I can do ...

Went to my 1st appt today.. to confirm pregnancy and all that good stuff.. I was super nervous because I had 2 miscarriages in 2020 during the 1st trimester.. well I’m happy to say my little nuggets has a heart beat of 161bpm and I’m measuring 8wks instead of 8wks and 2days.. everything is good!!! (Yes I cried when ...

Just a bit of a rant lol 😭 Only two weeks of my maternity left, well technically it's holiday now my mat ran out on the 14th Dec. It's flown by so fast! He's so far behind where my daughter was at this age, it's weird to think I have to leave him for 3 days, he's still a baby! 😞 I feel like I'm going to miss so…

Hi everyone! I’m currently pregnant with my second baby due July 1. With my first, I went into labor at exactly 41 weeks. It was very hard going that late, I was incredibly uncomfortable. For any second time mama’s that had a post term first baby, was your second baby earlier or later than your first?

How’s everyone managing to keep active and on top of entertaining a toddler at the same time as being pregnant? I’m exhausted😂 wouldn’t change it for the world but it’s just non-stop😴🥰

I've got Group B Step. 9 weeks and terrified 😭😭😭😭

Anyone planning the next baby any time soon? I want to but feeling scared to go through all the pregnancy and postpartum recovery all over again🙈 I had an episiotomy last time. So most likely I need to have it again😔

Had midwife last week and told fully engaged 5/5 how long was everyone else fully engaged to having baby? This is 2nd baby and am 38weeks! So much pressure down below just a waiting game and so impatient 😅😅

So by my last period I'm 12wks+3d today. But I have a hunch I'm further along because the month before I had spotting followed by a very light period 2 weeks later. When I did my first pregnancy test the following month (5 days after period was due) it was really strong and the clear blue gave me a 3+ weeks straight...

Can’t stop thinking about having another baby but don’t know if I could cope 😅😩

So when does everybody start to buy baby things I’m 14 weeks and I’m still nervous about buying but seeing lots of lovely things! Advice as I’m a first time mum

I just found out i’m pregnant! don’t know how far along, i have a 7 m/o and am just wondering how people coped with 2 under 2? TIA x

So I went to my weekly 39 week checkup appointment yesterday and we were going to set up an induction day, lo and behold I found out that I had severe pre eclampsia. Ob sent me to l&d and a little over 24 hours and an emergency c section my beautiful baby boy was born at 8 lbs 9 oz and 21.5 in. He is the most beauti...

Posting anon bc I know people here and haven’t announced

This has been a hard month, I always forget just how hard the newborn days are… but it gets better, I promise! Just trying to take it day by day and give myself grace to not get much done these days… it’s just a season.

I am pregnant with my second baby and she is due in February my 1st baby girl was born in September 2023 so they will be 17 months apart. Does anybody have any tips for me as I am a single mum?

First time Mum here!

Baby is 6 weeks old on Friday and has co-slept with me on my chest, trying her tonight in her next to me and we’re 7 minutes in with 2 lots of crying.. wish me luck 🙏

Has anyone else been seriously considering baby no. 2 since their LO turned 1?? Realistically it’s not feasible for us right now (we want to move house this year and a few other factors) but I can’t stop thinking about it!! We also have fertility issues and conceiving our baby was a hard journey so have that in my m...

Does my bump look the same? Both taken around 22 weeks (left is first pregnancy and right is this pregnancy, my second). Guess the gender of the baby for each 😬
