…and being treated differently already? My midwife wants me to take extra folic acid (which in my opinion is a bit too late at 8 weeks pregnant, as it’s advised in the first trimester)…I’ve been taking it anyways, 3 months prior TTC, while TTC, and still do. I’ve had blood tests done prior TTC and my levels are we...

I feel horrible saying this because I love the little kicks and the closeness and I cannot WAIT to have my little baby in my arms but I am 32 weeks and I fucking hate being pregnant!!! I’ve lost everything! I’m in constant pain and there never seems to be any relief, working is actually painful and my emotions and ...

Anyone else dealing with this? I want to say I am followed by cardiologist and have chronic hypertension. BP and everything is fine. But when the palps happen… I get the worst anxiety. Just wanting to know if anyone else is dealing and how you stop the anxiety when they happen?

So does anyone know why I never had a glucose test in my first pregnancy but I have had to have one today in my second? They put it down to me having pcos. I’ve never not had pcos, suffered with it since I was 16 so I’m confused as to why it was never checked in my first if that was the case?🤷🏼‍♀️

35w+3, first baby, gestational diabetes Should I be concerned (for potentially missing my Xmas dinner) that my bump has dropped, I’ve been starving hungry for 3 days, suuuper emotional and I have “period pains”? 😬🎄 Hoping for a new year baby not a Christmas one ! Thanks all

Is anyone still on their first post natal period? I have been on mine for almost 2 weeks now… should I be worried or is this normal?

Struggling at work with the nausea and just feel completely drained and wiped out. Has anyone got any tips or in the same boat? Different this time round with a 2 year old 🥱

If you had the Natera Panorama NIPT test, how long did it take you to get your results back? They just received my sample today, I have my fingers crossed we will have the results by Christmas, but also, I have a gender reveal to plan 😂 also, would love to see what the results will look like with twins if someone…

Transvaginal. Anyone have any guesses just for fun. The ramzi theory.

Boy or girl 💖💙

6 day early test, which is more accurate? I’m going to order some on Amazon before Christmas 🙈

It’s very early days 4+3, I think I have norovirus, I’m not managing to keep anything down yet. It only started this morning. Can anyone provide any advice please?

Heya lovely people, so my belly has dropped dramatically over the last week and bubba feels so heavy on my cervix as well as his movements feeling alot stronger... Im worried that I'm going to go into labour before the 37week mark now because of how everything's been feeling. I'm wondering if this is a relevant wo...

I am useless at working out where the nub is, can anyone help find and guess with nub theory? Thank you so much. Sorry I know there are loads of these posts! Will post another pic in comments

My baby’s provider called in children’s mucinex but she is only 17 months old . So I went down the rabbit hole of googling . So now I’m a little concerned. 🧐. Have any of yall had to give your little this . Am I being overally anxious?

Hi girls! I am 36 weeks tomorrow and I know you aren’t meant to start really collecting colostrum until 37 weeks but I have noticed I’m leaking a little bit (TMI🤣). I don’t want to ‘waste’ any but how early did people start collecting? Thank you 🩷

Got my GDT tomorrow and dreading it as heard so many negative storys and plus I've got anxiety so it doesn't help.. anyone thought that it wasn't that bad when they had it done? X

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and have been told I will need a blood test for gestational diabetes at my 36 week appt due to my little boy’s stomach measurement being 95th percentile. What can I expect from the rest of my pregnancy if I’m found to have it?

So I’m really confused! Is my baby 5 months old? He was born 22/07 so is he 5 months on Sunday or as he is 21 weeks is he 5 months and a week? It’s so confusing!

Been to my 36 week appointment today (I’m nearly 37 it was a late appointment) and she’s spun my head 🙃🤪 baby is engaged she could feel his head very low down and I explained the back pain I’ve been having every night for a few nights .. she’s said I’ll definitely have a 2024 baby.. how does she know this?? I was 2…
