Has anyone used Natera for the NIPT genetic testing? How long did it take from the time you got your blood drawn to get the results? I am so impatient lol.

Ever since I first found out I was pregnant I got really bad body ache over my shoulders and chest, I seemed to get this under control in my second trimester however now I’m entering my third trimester it’s slowly coming back, anybody have any ideas on things I can use I feel so disgusting 🤢

Has anyone had lip filler whilst pregnant? I’ve read there’s not much research into it so they recommend not to have it. I had an appointment booked when I didn’t even know I was pregnant yet and cancelled cause I was ill and then found out I’m pregnant. This is my third baby, I’m now in my second trimester and I’...

4 weeks in. I think there was only 2 glorious days when I felt like my pre-pregnancy self and had so much energy, I was radiating joy, and motivated to do ALL the things. Then I woke up this morning, felt sad, picked a fight with my husband, cried because felt bad for picking fight with husband, and can’t bring myse...

My resting BP has been like 120/80s-90s! But my doctor hasn't diagnosed me with anything. I'm so concerned! It started with my last pregnancy and just never adjusted back to normal. Is my anxiety making it worse??

I just received an op date (27th march) for gallbladder removal. I'm do happy to be rid of it due to bilary colic attacks post partum but also incredibly anxious. Ever since my son was born (ftm) in December I have way worse health anxiety as I worry about not being there for him. The GA terrifies me. Anyone else ...

I understand that is not the day you conceived etc but from what my dr tells me - the 9 month starts the day of your last period. So why when you go to “little bellies” or a private sonogram place do they insist your less far a long? This happened with my last pregnancy and this one. It’s not a big deal but they tal...

I have had 3 chemical pregnancies in a row and I’m just really sad and wanting connection with moms that may be experiencing/experienced the same ?

I had the glucose test today and had to wait around 2 hours before my blood was checked again. My results have been uploaded online already but a little concerned as I don’t know what they mean and getting differing results online. Can anyone help it’s making me anxious knowing I have to wait for a call? My basal re...

I’m nearly 28 weeks and suddenly feeling so uncomfortable like when I bend down it’s so hard to get back up and even sitting in certain positions is uncomfortable, I feel like it’s just happened out of nowhere! Is anyone else feeling super uncomfortable yet?

Sooo I’m 35 weeks and I have high blood pressure and told my doctor and I’m doing monitoring twice a week now but they ran labs and I have no protein in my urine and blood work was a tiny bit off but honestly pretty normal. They also did an ultrasound and my little guy is totally healthy. So like obviously that’s go...

Just found out I'm about six weeks pregnant but obviously quiet worried as before I found out I've had quite a few drinks.. Could this potentially cause fetal alcohol syndrome

I’m 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow and my 4 year old currently has chicken pox. I left a message for the midwife for the most recent advice and they called back yesterday to say they needed to speak to my hospital and I haven’t heard anything since.. I’m not too worried as I have had it as a little girl. Just wondering ...

Will I be okay? I'm 4 weeks and 3 days

Has anyone else started to really experience “baby brain” in the last few weeks of their pregnancy? I’m 39 weeks this week but the last two weeks I’ve really noticed I have a mental fog and I’m forgetful and can’t concentrate on anything! 😂 I always thought baby brain was an exaggeration but turns out it’s very…

I am literally so stressed! I’ve had an absolute breeze of a pregnancy really up until this point and now I feel everything’s going wrong!

Hey has anyone had an anterior placenta. I didn’t with my first but have with my second and it was on top of his face in the scab he was pushing it. And I can’t find heartbeat on my Doppler and cannot feel kicks. My anxiety is through the roof. Is this normal. I am 16 weeks x

I am 18+4 and the anxiety I have around my 20 week scan is ridiculous! She’s my first baby and I am plus size which I think adds to my anxiety due to me not seeing much of a visible bump like I would if I was smaller. This baby wasn’t planned but now she’s all I can think about and it heightens my anxiety thinking s...
