Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Sorry long confusing post as I’m not sure how many weeks I am! Just seen another post about how the lady has irregular periods so she wasn’t sure how many weeks she was.

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....

So I’m very far from giving birth anytime soon lol but I’ve been watching other mamas labor videos and I’m actually terrified for the time to come , considering I’m an itty bitty thing at 21 , I’m only 5,0 and 114 pounds currently at almost 10 weeks , so I’m quite concerned for the most part because i definitely wan...

Taking my blood was so so difficult , i was pricked like 5 times and i was almost told to come back before one tiny veins finally popped🥹. The glucose drink is not as bad as people say it it

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...
