Anyone have extreme pregnancy anxiety? I’m 19 weeks and I’ve been anxious throughout the pregnancy hoping I’ll make it to the next trimester and now that I’m in my second it’s a whole other anxiety like for the past few days I keep coming across videos of ppl having stillborns at 20 weeks and I’m so so scared 😭 and…

I don't know why but I just realized that even the small deficit may make getting pregnant harder.

Hi, I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby and in the hospital atm. I came in as I had some bleeding for 3 days and baby was super active for two days and then today she barely moved. When I came in they put me on the monitor and the baby’s heartbeat was 175-190 for the whole hour and at some point it was dipping...

Hey guys, I’m looking for some advice to help me through the first trimester. The anxiety has hit today and I can’t seem to shake it. I’m currently 5w1d and this is the furthest I have gotten so far which I’m obviously very happy about but I’m struggling to relax before my first scan which is in two weeks. Current...

I go to parkland for my OB I am high risk due to my bleeding disorder but my doctors don’t seem too focused on getting anything done when they’re supposed to. I haven’t had any cervical checks or strep b test done and I was informed that I should’ve had that done by now. Not to mention they barely just did my glucos...

Anyone else in the same boat?? I’ve been at 2cm for over a week now, baby is so low it hurts to sit/walk/bend down, and the pelvic pain is like a 6-7/10 😭😭… I’ve been doing anything and everything to get her out, (spicy food, walking, sex, etc…) but baby girl is just taking her sweet-ass time 🙄 ((Bump-date pic to…

Has anyone else’s baby been extremely fussy and hard to settle this week? My baby is 12 weeks tomorrow

Has anyone done myriad genetic and how long does the lab review take ?

So how soon before due date are we all getting birth ready? Lol

Hi, wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. So I had my daughter 9 months ago, periods came back pretty quickly, but since having her I’ve been having month long periods with a break of 3 days in between bleeds. Been to the GP who won’t investigate until I’m a year postpartum. Wondering if anyone has be...

Since pregnancy I’ve had a major aversion to meat. I feel so guilty as I know I’m not eating nowhere near what I I should be eating but I can’t stand chicken or eggs (unless it’s fast food) I’ve not touched eggs since this whole pregnancy, but used to eat them every day prior to pregnancy. I’ve been trying to eat ...

I am booked In to be tested for gestational diabetes and I’m wondering how long it takes and what they will do at the appointment

I am currently three weeks and four days pregnant. I am waiting for my first appointment feeling lots of anxiety about seeing the heartbeat and hoping that there is a heartbeat. What did you ladies do to pass the time and to ease the anxiety?

They said we can do it after 10 weeks and I’m 10 weeks today… I’ll wait until Friday. This is where they test for Down syndrome and also you can learn the gender.

Anyone else feel sick with worry about sending LO to nursery? I just received some settling in sessions for next week and my stomach has turned. It all feels very real now. I haven’t been away from my baby for more than 2 hours since he was born. This is so tough 😢 any words from mums who have already sent their…

How long did you wait before getting your blood results on the Badger app? It’s been 11 days now and still no results on there.

In for reduce movements and spotting!! Had this throughout my pregnancy I'm 36 weeks today and completely drained!!! I just want her out I feel so bad for feeling that way 😭

Hey question, it’s been awhile since I’ve been pregnant but Did any of you ever get nighttime anxiety or heart palpitations during the first trimester?

I’m 26 weeks and going through so much… looking to see if anyone else has experienced this or if I’m just the unlucky one. 1. I feel so ugly, omg. I’ve never felt this fat in my life—no matter what I do, my face looks swollen, and it’s just bad. 2. I shower like four times a day, and I still feel like I smell bad ...

So this is my second pregnancy and it doesn’t matter if I’m doing something or being lazy but it’s so hard to breathe anymore. It feels like I have so much pressure pushing into my lungs. Any ideas? With my first I never had this issue so I have no idea what to do.
