Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Just entered third trimester and now when this baby moves it hurts! And I am feeling so much pressure in my lower belly. It's frustrating bc I work full time and the pain and discomfort is extremely distracting! Any tips or do I just need to deal with it 😂

I’m 23 weeks and 2 days and my fatigue has been so bad today. I can barely function. My belly feels heavy but baby has not been moving as much. Found baby’s heartbeat on a at home Doppler though. Should I be concerned?

Comments like, “Wow! You’ve gotten so big!” “You’ve REALLY popped!” “You’ll be huuuuge in a month!”

Can’t believe this is happening again ! It happened with my boy and I got preeclampsia….dr and midwife said it wouldn’t be likely to happen again ….now they have changed their tune and saying I’m at risk and telling me all the signs (what I already know) and said the likely hood it coming to preeclampsia again is mo...

How do yall count the weeks in month of pregnancy cuz my husband just got me confused lol im 8 weeks and 3dats today

Is anyone else already going every 2 weeks. I started at 20 weeks this time around. I’m high risk and they have to keep watch but also I hate going so often.

Just wondering if anyone has received their results if they passed? Had my test last Tuesday and still haven’t heard anything so just wondered if this means I’ve passed, I’m praying I have😅

Hi all! I’m 13 weeks pregnant and I have been feeling so much anxiety, tight throat, and had 2 panic attacks. I’m anxious about everything. It’s not about the pregnancy my anxiety or becoming a first time mom. It’s just anxious over everything that’s small and insignificant. I had anxiety before but nothing like thi...

Hi mamas! I had my daughter in June of ‘24 and am pregnant (unplanned) due in December of this year. I’m five weeks along but am panning on scheduling a C-Section as early as my OB says is safe. Is 18 months between births enough? Scared of putting too much stress on the scar.

C section mamas - how long did it take for yous stomach to go down and back to ‘normal’? I’m 8 weeks pp and still cannot fit into any pre pregnancy clothes. My stomach feels like jelly! I also still have the dark like from my belly button, that doesn’t seem to be fading either. I know it takes time but would be good...

this test showed a dark line almost immediately as soon as i peed on it. is this accurate or should i retest ?

Is anyone else suffering really bad with anxiety during their pregnancy, mainly birth anxiety tbh? I feel like it’s taking over my life and I am absolutely terrified of giving birth!

Does it annoy you that people use Chat GPT for literally everything now? I just saw someone posting that they asked it if their pregnancy test was positive. Like, it's so bad for the environment and then you're going to ask it for something ridiculous like that when you know you'll need to go to a doctor to get con...

I went to triage last weekend and they said I'm pre eclamptic again (2nd pregnancy). I'm currently 37+3, last time I ended up having my baby via c-section at 37+5 due to failed induction/pre eclampsia. However my section this time is booked for 39+4, (was booked before diagnosis) I've got to go for a check tomorrow ...

Did any of you ladies do the unity test? It says the gender of my baby is girl which I’m ecstatic about. Were yours accurate when you actually gave birth?

Hi! Wish i could add another photo of my test results but also just might now know how lol. Here’s a collage I went to the hospital because they wanted me to come in after i messaged them about not being able to stay awake for 2-3 hours at a time, i vomit all my food, my ears ring, i feel extremely light headed. et...

Is anyone else feeling really anxious? I’m 15 weeks currently and I feel so worried about baby constantly. It’s the worst I’ve felt in the pregnancy so far! I don’t know if it’s just because my symptoms (sickness etc) are slowing, but still can’t feel baby, so it doesn’t feel real! Has anyone else felt like this?

I’m definitely not pregnant and have a 16 month old. I’m a size 12 but I suffer with bloating/ibs issues so I have a bit of a tummy which is out of proportion with my body. Some days are better than others however a few people at work have asked if I’m expecting. If I have said I’m fine a bit too cheerfully then the...

Has anyone else struggled with eating in 1st trimester? I am 8 weeks, I usually eat very healthy and clean but since about week 7 the smell of food disgusts me particularly meat and anything seasoned. I usually love cooking and always eat lots of veg but my partner has had to do more of the cooking. If you experienc...
