Labor

Okay so I’ve had one medical labor and one unmedicated labor. I’m pregnant again and I am having the WORST anxiety over labor this go around. I literally had a dream last night that this baby just plopped right out of me without me feeling a thing and I was so relieved in the dream 😂 Idk why I’m more scared since…

Getting it off my chest!!

I’m 39 and a half weeks and felt a few twinges last week. My midwife also said last week that baby was very engaged and we had a bit of a joke that we wouldn’t see each other at my 40 week appointment. I relayed this onto family but ever since my in-laws have been ringing every night to see if anything has happened....

Pregnancy after ectopic

I’ve have just found out I’m pregnant after an ectopic in Jan. I did not have a period in between, I’m really scared. This is now my fourth pregnancy trying for our first. We can’t even be postive or be hopeful all we have is just fear. What did people do during this anxious time to get their mind off things?

Not ready to give up breastfeeding

During pregnancy, my urine continually flagged up for having protine. Given that this was a possible symptom of pre eclampsia, I was in every couple of days to have blood pressure tested etc ( always normal). Since having LO, they have discovered I still have protein in urine which suggested I had an underlying con...

First cervical check

I'm 35w4d, due April 5th. Had my first cervical check today! I'm already 3cm and apparently baby is head down, even though I feel bulges all over my belly. I thought he was transverse, and it still feels that way from feeling my belly! So confused! Anyway, how are we all doing?!
