This is my first pregnancy I am 36yrs old and I am super scared to give birth I’m only 19 weeks but my nerves as I get closer really increase. Like idk if I’m ready for that pain and experience so scared 😳!!!!

Anyone else extra uncomfortable in the evenings? So out of breath and so uncomfortable. Not sitting or laying feels good😩 ugh 33 weeks. Feeling so done. But want baby to keep cooking. Scared of going into labor early.

Why do I feel so angry and anxious whenever someone else has my baby? All of a sudden I’m so on edge whenever someone else holds him and I sometimes get angry when people take him. Is this a sign of PPD? But I don’t feel down? Is anyone else feeling this way? He has been very clingy recently and I’m definitely feeli...

I’m 33 weeks pregnant. Me and my husband wanted this baby and we put measures in place to track and conceive. I’ve had a fairly easy pregnancy and have been very happy and excited with everything up until right now. I’m in a sudden panic that my whole life will change, I won’t have any freedom, as much disposable c...

I am testing 4 times a day and I am averaging between 90-125 for my readings. Are these good numbers?

Is anyone else over being pregnant? 😅 I’m stressed cause everything isn’t together yet and want more time but on the other hand I am so uncomfortable, my hormones are raging and my morning sickness has now come back… I forgot just how bad throwing up was :(it’s going to be a long 10 weeks

I had 2 miscarriages this year, one being a missed miscarriage and thankfully I am pregnant again 8 weeks and 4 days. I had a scan with the consultant at 7 weeks 1 day and there was a heartbeat (the scan is in the pic)❤️ and I’m due to have another scan this Friday where I’ll be 9 weeks 1 day. My anxiety is through ...

If so, could you please share some of the things you did during your pregnancy that you felt help with this? I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first and have had 0 complications so far so am planning on a natural birth but will use epidural if needed due to pain. there are all sorts of articles on what to do to make the...

I don’t know if it’s just coincidence or whether she can sense my hormones. But since I found out I am pregnant my 2 year old has become the clingiest she has ever been with me. Literally wanting to hug 24/7 or be held, and has a meltdown every time I leave the room. Has this happened to anyone else?

37 weeks swollen fingers and having blood pressure issues yet again. Can’t get through to the community midwife’s so yet another hospital visit that could have been avoided. I’m so annoyed

Anyone else worried they’re going to have a big baby?? I’m 5ft 1 and pre-pregnancy weight 46kg so always been quite small. I had a growth scan today at 30 weeks (as a result of reduced movement). Baby is fine, but her estimated weight currently is 3lbs 6oz. No one has said she’s big or chunky, but I feel like that’...

First time mom here, and I’ve noticed some patterns that are different for me. 34 weeks along 1.) my body is on like cleaning mode. Everything needs to be cleaned and sterilized at all times and I’m cleaning for hours 2.) my body only wants to sleep when baby boy sleeps. I’ll clean for a few hours then I’ll take l...

Keep seeing that some of August baby mums are pregnant again! How! I have zero desire, I'm constantly anxious and in survival mode. I hate my body now with my massive mum pooch and covered in stretch marks. My partner wants sex and I just don't...:( I feel awful about this :( anyone else?

With my first pregnancy I had an anterior placenta so I didn’t feel as much movement especially at night time which I was fine with because that means I can sleep🤣 with this pregnancy I have posterior placenta and let’s just say he’s using me as a punching bag 😭 he does this late at night for at least an hour and a…

My first preg I developed food aversions at 5wks and nausea by my 6th week. I don’t want to go but know how much my husband wants to go…

I have an appointment tomorrow and I’ll be ten weeks exactly. Is that too early to confirm the gender when I take this test? Is it more likely to be wrong or confirmed to be a girl if they can’t find the Y chromosome in my blood? I feel like I’m being crazy and since it’s my first pregnancy I don’t know what to expe...

Has anyone taken and NOT passed their glucose test? What happens after?

Anyone else’s baby feel sooo low? Baby boy feels like he’s so low that everytime I stand up, I feel likes he’s going to slide out. This pregnancy has been so rough and so uncomfortable compared to my first. I can’t even roll to my other side while sleeping without groaning in pain. I definitely want him to cook a bi...

Hello I was just wondering if it’s safe to go to the cinimia while pregnant I’ll be 23 weeks.

Can anyone tell me their experience with SneakPeek with inconclusive results? Was everything okay? What did the gender turn out to be?
