No idea how nub theory works but seen many people posting. Can anyone give my pics a guess?

Took my BP readings at 29 weeks tonight and they were all over the place, I’m unsure which to take? (I’m at risk from pre eclampsia and noticing a systolic increase from a baseline of 69): 125/80 118/79 113/81 112/78

Has anyone taken the sneak peak gender blood test at a clinic? If so were your results accurate? Pregnant with my second now and really want to do it but I’ve heard some people get false boy results if their first was a boy and that is my case. Just wanted opinions and experiences before I spent the money on the test!

Oh my goodness it’s like a switch has been flicked - my usually fairly calm baby has become super super fussy, lots of crying, stressed feeding etc and only calm if she’s asleep or in the carrier, otherwise she’s cross! Anyone else going through this?

Sorry I know this is a little TMI, but I've just had to take my third thrush tablet because I've suffered so much with them in my second trimester. Has anybody else had this? 😫 Is it normal???

Earliest you got your BFP after FET?

I’m 40 weeks today and had my first sweep this morning. Midwife said I’m about 1cm dialated 🙃 Can you stay 1cm for quite a while or should I feel positive that things will be happening soon? Other than tightenings across my bump, a bad stomach yesterday, and a few spells of lightening crotch, I haven’t really had…

I have been feeling very unwell I’m 36 weeks pregnant. My hands and feet are swollen, I have the biggest headache and it won’t. Go away. I have Protien in my urine. But triage keep sending me home because my blood pressure if normal and it’s not high… I feel something is wrong but no one will listen to me :((

My mom and I have always had a complicated relationship. We go through phases of being close, like I thought I wanted her to be present for the birth of my first (it didn’t work out because he came unexpectedly early) but in hindsight that was for the best. Anyway, ever since college she’s been making remarks abou...

Week 12.5 scan .. using the Nub theory surely a girl?? 🫶

Firstly I would appreciate any advice as I feel a little lost with what to do. I am currently 19+2. On Friday I went to hospital with reduced movement, I started feeling our little girl around 16+4 and have felt her consecutively for 2 weeks at night when in bed plus other times. It was strong enough that my partn...

Morning! Just looking for any words of wisdom / advice! I was going through redundancy at work & myself and husband decided that we would start trying for number 2! All excited. Happy days! I ended up being offered an alternative role, WFH 3 days a week and they know my 7 month will be here too so everything wa...

When did your provider tell you to check blood after meals?

I have the worst pregnancy acne. I wash the pillowcases and sheets regularly, I wash my face with gentle cleansers every night and use azaelic acid daily with moisturizer. I alternate a aha moisturizer and panoxyl a few times a week because it was too harsh every day. Still feel like I look 17 years old. I don’t hav...

Does anyone have major first trimester symptoms and sickness? How are you dealing? I can’t get out of bed or hold anything down and I feel absolutely miserable

39 weeks pregnant, woke up at 5 not being able to breathe good. I have no pain but do feel nauseous when I try to take deep breaths in. It also triggers my anxiety a little bit. What should I do ? Any advice

i’m 26 weeks but will be 27 weeks tomorrow but i don’t know how many months 😭😭 btw pregnant with my first child and it’s a little girl 🎀

For the last week or two I’ve been struggling so badly with constant pain in my ribs really high up. I feel like I can’t breathe and can’t sit down properly at all without feeling like I’m being crushed right below my boobs. I had a midwife appointment on Thursday at 34+5 and she checked his position and confirmed...
