Our best friends are getting married at the end of April. I'll be 31/32 weeks. It's a 2 hour flight and we are planning on risk assessing the whole thing (travel insurance, making sure we know where the nearest hospital is and that we can get there, translating a pack of my medical history into Italian etc etc). My ...

Worried as I’ve convinced myself it’s one gender based on nub theory and if it’s the opposite i’ll feel silly.

This is my first pregnancy and everyone I talk to says/has said that I will probably give birth a week+ after my actual due date. It seems to be the norm that it takes longer for first baby specifically? I just wanted to check and get a better idea what your experiences were with your first baby’s !

Dated at 12 + 5. The sonographer was convinced she could tell the gender so just intrigued to see if anyone can guess compared to what she told me? I have no idea how the nub theory works 😂

Hi there, we have concert tickets for this week for an indoors rock concert and I've read about the risks of loud music. It seems it's mostly about frequent loud noises like at every day work places. But this is my first, I am now 21 weeks and hearing is being developed now (websites vary on they quote what week it ...

Hey… What are we all thinking… not really sure how the nub theory works. But from what I know I’d say girl?

Got to see my baby boy in 3d at my appointment Wednesday , and I got caught off guard with a glucose test lol but it went well . 🩵

I’m a bit concerned I boiled some potatoes but wasn’t patient enough and when I bit into some they were a bit hard - I did eat some of the hard bits but then threw the rest away. I’m 19 weeks pregnant and now I’m anxious it will harm my baby 😭

12+5 . Wasn't a super clear photo cos baby kept moving. Any ideas ?

My next predicted ovulation window is from the 20th of March till the 29th with a predicted peak of on the 26th. If I was to get pregnant this month would I be due in December or November?
