I just hit 24 weeks and I have been so scared of going into labor early, every little cramp or sharp pain in my pelvis or uterus I get a panic attack. Can anyone give some reassurance? I had someone reach out to me and say their friend went into preterm labor at 17 weeks and it just really freaked me out and I can’t...

What is it like? Obviously it’s drinkable but is it really horrible to drink? I am really bad with liquids when it comes to having to take medicine liquid I just can’t do it🤮

Currently 37+4 with my first baby, and a couple of weeks ago spotted a bulging in the opening of my vagina, so went to triage and was told somewhat flippantly that I have a cervical prolapse. A few other things cropped up in the visit which took over and I then left feeling very overwhelmed and later realised I hadn...

Anyone else do one of these!? I’m 7w5d and just got the results back that I’m having a boy💙 now I’ve completed my registry and I’m glad we found out early, but I feel like I’ve got nothing left to do but wait for 6.5 months!

Has anyone gotten an NIPT test? I have basically begged for one at this point now that I’m almost 10 weeks because my sister has a rare disability and want to rule out any potential issues I may need to prepare for but it’s like my dr won’t take anything I say serious and told me we can maybe look into doing one 4-5...

I tried to tell my OB that I wasn’t seeing her anymore due to my new job starting on Monday and I can’t miss any days…. Long story short she ignored me and scheduled me every two weeks … I failed my 1 he glucose test … I’m not taking the 3 hrs test …. My new job don’t know I’m pregnant… and honestly I don’t plan on...

When did your nausea go away? I thought it was getting better last week, but now I'm 13 weeks and I feel just as bad as I did from 7-10, if not worse. Really thought it would start to ease...

I'm not really sure how to feel, but I definitely don't feel ready... Baby's growth has dropped drastically. We were following the 7th centile and now on the 1.8th. They think my placenta may be failing. Need to go in numerous times a week for monitoring... They've said they're aiming to get us to 34 weeks, but ...

I know it’s waaaay early but I love to hear guesses and theories xox 💙🩷💙🩷

I just woke up with the baby tucked into my body, flipped her off me so quick and she is fine. I think l fell asleep burping her. We're cosleeping because it's the only way she'll sleep not on me. I'm trying the next to me each night because I desperately don't want to take the risk. Feel absolutely terrible abo...

What month of pregnancy are we ladies? Im 26 + 2 but very confusing in months. When are we 7?

I had literally 3 spots of vivid red blood on Monday and then a little blob of darker almost brown today. I turn 38 weeks tomorrow so if it's a sign of impending labour I'm not too worried but my Google search is giving me really mixed messages on whether I should be concerned or not. I've read articles that says it...

I'm 17 weeks and I'm TERRIFIED. Not of birth but of all the things that can go wrong. Every time I use the bathroom I worry it's gonna be blood or something I had bruising in my womb when bubba was 4/7 ish weeks and it was terrifying the constant blood and clots. I am so freaking worried. Everything i buy a baby th...
