First Trimester

Found out I’m pregnant on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. This is my first baby and it is honestly kicking my butt. I haven’t had much nausea at all, but the fatigue is extreme. I could sleep all day. I’m sleeping from like 8pm-7am every night and would nap at 10am if I could. I’m so excited but also so tired. (Photo t...

Getting weighed

I seem to get weighed at every appointment I have and I’m unsure why tbh. It’s depressing enough feeling so unwell in pregnancy I don’t want to stand on the scales to be shown how fat I am. Does anyone know if you have to get weighed when you go into hospital to give birth? Because I really don’t want to. I know it’...

Kicking

I’m 26 weeks and still haven’t had any kicks, don’t get me wrong I’ve had little flutters but no kicks. I’ve been to the midwife for my 25 week appointment and she looked at the heartbeat etc. I totally forgot to ask her when should I panic especially the fact all professionals I’ve seen have all said my placenta is...

Glucose Tolerance Test

Did anyone else nearly faint and vomit during their Glucose Tolerance Test? Not sure if this is a normal response or possibly a sign of diabetes? :/

I did an early gender reveal blood work at 8 w and this service looks for the Y chromosome. I didn’t do it myself but at the clinic they took my blood. Now I got BOY (super happy) but I’m worried if it’s accurate or not. Any experiences?

I went with a company called early reveal and my blood was collected at one of the UC baby clinics (canada).

Lack of intimacy

Hey. I’m 32 weeks and I am struggling with the lack of intimacy from my partner. I never thought I’d be the one pretty much getting turned down and it’s making me feel really paranoid. Bump is pretty big now so I understand it’s not the easiest but that doesn’t make me feel any better! Has anyone else had this? I ...

Having Sex

Hey Moms!! Anyone struggling with having sex? In 2 weeks i’ll be 7 months and i haven’t really been in the mood for sex (it’s been 3 months) I think it’s me being insecure about my stomach honestly. How big my stomach is growing and how i feel just big and unattractive. Anyone else?
