I'm 29 weeks and just fell after sliding in a mud patch running after my escaping toddler. I heard a pop I my knee

Hi, can’t believe I’m posting this. I had my second baby a week ago by emergency c section and after being in the hospital for a week I was discharged today. When I got home I just felt so much dread. I love my first baby and ofc I also love my second baby too but I just feel so much dread of what’s coming. My seco...

Just intrigued! I'm 3 weeks pp & they say 3-6 weeks so hopefully I'm nearly done or at least half way 😅

When did everyone hear they're babies heartbeat for the first time? From what I can see it's either 16 or 25 weeks but depends on your midwife/NHS trust. Thank you!

Keeping as a surprise but based on skull theory- boy or girl? 💙🩷

I’m 14 weeks as of Tuesday and I went through the first trimester with barely any nausea. Just a little early on. Now that I’m 14 weeks it’s came back. Ugh. I think it’s associated with not eating often and indigestion. Tums helps but not as much. Anyone else dealing with this?

Not sure if nub is pictured in any of these (more in comments) ♥️

If anyone had Hellp syndrome in their first pregnancy,can you tell me whether you were prescribed aspirin during your second pregnancy please? I had acute HELLP syndrome, so never had preeclampsia, no signs of high blood pressure or anything, just bad pain and low platelets / liver readings. Thanks!

I’m pregnant after a miscarriage so super paranoid. I have continued to work exercise which mainly involves running but my heart rate is about 155 bpm approx. Is this okay? How has everyone adjusted exercise to the first trimester?

Hey ladies! I’m a new first time mum and I’m so excited! Has anyone got any tips to help throughout pregnancy ect?

They were supposed to do my bloods and check for abnormalities but apparently it wasn't done. So they're offering a NIPT. Does anybody have any experience with this? What are the results like? I'm also 17 weeks old so will that tell me the gender of my baby, thanks

currently 26 weeks and 5 days pregnant and for most of my pregnancy I’ve not eaten healthy at all🤦‍♀️ I’m always eating instant noodles and junk food.. but I end up feeling so guilty!! is anybody else feeling like this?

I was so thrilled to hit the second trimester, and (so far) I feel very lucky to have had the worst of the nausea and exhaustion tail off, but I feel like I’ve just fallen into a bit of a pit… I’m bloated and puffy and my clothes don’t fit, but I also don’t look pregnant either because I don’t have a noticable ‘bump...

Now I'm panicking am I not meant to take this when pregnant 🙈

Hey! Does anyone have any advice as to how to manage the nerves? I’m due 8th December and am so paranoid about everything. I know in the UK we cannot get betas done if we’re low risk and it’s actually hard to find places privately that’ll test (just to check progression)! I also am going to go crazy waiting for 12wk...

Anyone getting it? I have it Friday and not sure what to expect. Think it’s just a blood test and scan

I had horrendous nausea and fatigue in 1st trimester, which seemed to settle around 14 weeks. Then as soon as I hit 17 weeks the nausea and vomiting came back with a vengeance, I also started getting really bad heartburn/ acid reflux, constipation, and feel like I have zero energy. I had a toddler at home and work ...

Does anyone know if I'm allowed to opt out of getting the hypoglycemia test where you have to drink that god awful sugar drink that taste like Gatorade on steroids ???
