Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Has anyone else’s nausea and vomiting got worse towards the end of the first trimester? I thought it was meant to ease off at this stage and thought I’d got lucky having only the occasional vomit by 10 weeks but now I can barely keep a meal down and worried I’m getting absolutely no nutrition 😣

Hello all! I just found out this morning that I am pregnant. I am so nervous as we have been trying for 6 years. I have never had a positive test before so I am excited but also have a lot of anxiety. I am worried being a plus size woman.

We made it to full term!🥰I’m so grateful we all can’t wait for our baby girl to be here🩷so nervous and anxious about everything though as a first time mum a lot of the unknown is scaring me. I would appreciate if anyone has any advice as first time mums too🤭x

I am 26 weeks pregnant and I’m suffering with severe anxiety and have tokophobia, I didn’t know I had tokophobia until I was already pregnant.

Has anyone been diagnosed with this? I am 33 weeks and they are now concerned I may have pre eclampsia. I am back in hospital and I have not been able to ask the midwife questions about it yet as they are waiting for test results. I have read things online but what I’m wondering is if they’ll keep me in or if anyone...

My husband and I are trying for another and I don’t care either way but i need to set expectations. Did your body get WAY worse like a lot of people portray compared to the first baby. I have a little loose skin and stretch marks from the first and I’m wondering if it’s going to get 10 times worse Be honest

My hospital is unable to complete my NIPT at the moment and will potentially be able to do it late next week. Obviously I want the NIPT done because I want to make sure baby is healthy and that there is no abnormalities. HOWEVER, my gender reveal is in less than a month and I’m worried that results won’t be here in ...

Got my genetic test results back and everything looked good and found out we are going to have a little girl

I recently had my baby boy in December! And I always liked the idea of having 2 children, however I developed preeclampsia at 34 weeks and it was very stressful towards the end! I’m worried that if we were to have another one (definitely wouldn’t be for a couple years if we did🤣) I’d develop it again and would be…

Hi everyone, just made it to 33 weeks yesterday & now I’m being told that my belly is low- nothing is done (in my opinion) & I’m afraid that I’m gonna go in labor soon. Could my belly lowered mean early labor?

This is my second pregnancy and the anxiety is on another level! Anyone else the same!

How long did it take you to get your results if you had gestational diabetes? I had my test on Thursday morning. Hoping no phonecall means i don't have it 🤞

I feel bad complaining but OMG I hate the first trimester - 10 weeks and I am still not myself. In bed, sick for a month plus. It’s actually hell. But I know being a pregnant is a blessing and people wish to be in this position sigh
