HG Struggles

Hi! Me again! I’ve posted before about how awful and guilty I’ve felt this entire pregnancy. Well it has not gotten better. I’m still struggling and I just weighted in this morning and I’ve lost another 5 pounds despite my efforts. That’s a total of 25 lbs! 😩 I’ve tried meds, protein shakes, everything suggested…

Baby’s heart rate

Hi all Looking for a bit of reassurance if you can give any! Baby’s heart rate has been around 140 at most of my appointments - had another midwife appointment today and it was only 126. I know that’s still in the normal range but the drop has got me worried! Midwife said it was fine but I don’t know if that’s just...

This might be gross

So, this might be totally disgusting and some of you will probably judge me hard but, if I’m being honest, I think I’ve washed my hair all of about 5 times during the first trimester (currently 11 weeks and 4 days) it’s just not been the top of my list and if I’m being honest, I’ve mostly been rotting in bed so who ...

Worry

This is my first pregnancy. I am 20 weeks and I can’t stop worrying!!!! I’m not feeling a lot of movement and having awful dreams about my unborn baby. I don’t really feel like I have much support from my antenatal department as when I text/email my midwife she doesn’t respond. Does anyone have any advice to stop th...

Not felt baby at 17 weeks

Hi everyone, I’m feeling really anxious that I haven’t felt anything yet and wondered how many people are in the same position. I know they say that it can take up to 24 weeks but I’m so worried that I’ve not felt anything yet and something might be wrong. Is/was anyone else in the same boat?

Sugary drink before scan

Hey lovelies, I have a private gender scan this weekend, on the phone they said to drink something sugary beforehand to make the baby move around a bit more, just wondering if anyone knows what I should drink? I’ve tried to cut out caffeine so I haven’t had a coke in ages! xxx

Glucose test

Tomorrow’s my glucose test and so damn I’m nervous about it. I am in no way a big woman outside of the baby in my belly but damn I’m scared I won’t pass. I’ve been very good on sweets and soda so hopefully I’ll be ok.

Postnatal c-section

I had my little girl last Thursday and everything went well. No complications etc. I was on the maternity ward for 4 days. I thought I was feeling 'spaced out' just because of the medication. Been home for 2 days now and I'm still feeling the same with the odd times of palpations throughout the days and I'm not taki...
