Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Keeping as a surprise but based on skull theory- boy or girl? 💙🩷

Hi guys! I’m 6 weeks and already missing my number 1 hobby which is skating. There’s so much conflicting advice online from mums who continued skating all through their pregnancy and mums who said it’s not worth the risk. I don’t fall unless I’m trying something new but worried people will judge… my doctor won’t spe...

KIngsCounty put the order in for my NIPT testing on 3/13 so everyday I’m checking and checking andddddd checking no results final during my visit I’m here and they said LABS never put in the test. So I’m just now officially getting this test damn near one month later 🙄😮‍💨

I’m 14 weeks as of Tuesday and I went through the first trimester with barely any nausea. Just a little early on. Now that I’m 14 weeks it’s came back. Ugh. I think it’s associated with not eating often and indigestion. Tums helps but not as much. Anyone else dealing with this?

Not sure if nub is pictured in any of these (more in comments) ♥️

If anyone had Hellp syndrome in their first pregnancy,can you tell me whether you were prescribed aspirin during your second pregnancy please? I had acute HELLP syndrome, so never had preeclampsia, no signs of high blood pressure or anything, just bad pain and low platelets / liver readings. Thanks!

I’m pregnant after a miscarriage so super paranoid. I have continued to work exercise which mainly involves running but my heart rate is about 155 bpm approx. Is this okay? How has everyone adjusted exercise to the first trimester?

Hey ladies! I’m a new first time mum and I’m so excited! Has anyone got any tips to help throughout pregnancy ect?

They were supposed to do my bloods and check for abnormalities but apparently it wasn't done. So they're offering a NIPT. Does anybody have any experience with this? What are the results like? I'm also 17 weeks old so will that tell me the gender of my baby, thanks

currently 26 weeks and 5 days pregnant and for most of my pregnancy I’ve not eaten healthy at all🤦‍♀️ I’m always eating instant noodles and junk food.. but I end up feeling so guilty!! is anybody else feeling like this?

I was so thrilled to hit the second trimester, and (so far) I feel very lucky to have had the worst of the nausea and exhaustion tail off, but I feel like I’ve just fallen into a bit of a pit… I’m bloated and puffy and my clothes don’t fit, but I also don’t look pregnant either because I don’t have a noticable ‘bump...

Now I'm panicking am I not meant to take this when pregnant 🙈

Hey! Does anyone have any advice as to how to manage the nerves? I’m due 8th December and am so paranoid about everything. I know in the UK we cannot get betas done if we’re low risk and it’s actually hard to find places privately that’ll test (just to check progression)! I also am going to go crazy waiting for 12wk...

Anyone getting it? I have it Friday and not sure what to expect. Think it’s just a blood test and scan

I had horrendous nausea and fatigue in 1st trimester, which seemed to settle around 14 weeks. Then as soon as I hit 17 weeks the nausea and vomiting came back with a vengeance, I also started getting really bad heartburn/ acid reflux, constipation, and feel like I have zero energy. I had a toddler at home and work ...

Does anyone know if I'm allowed to opt out of getting the hypoglycemia test where you have to drink that god awful sugar drink that taste like Gatorade on steroids ???

Anyone opt out of this stupid test. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I barley made it through the first time. I don't do needles and I will puke again if I try and do this test. The test also made me super sick after. Or is there another way to take this test without the nasty drink

So those who had extreme nausea, is it true that it gets better in the 2nd trimester? I forget and I need some hope 😰😅

I’m nervous I’ll never be 100% sure ready for a second and my anxiety has gotten worse after my first. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Hi! I’m at risk for preeclampsia in my second pregnancy after having it in my first in only labour and can’t help but begin to worry I’ll get it again now I’m 18 weeks.. I’m aware of the warning signs and stuff but I’m curious about peoples experiences with getting it earlier than labour? What happens? Specifically...
