Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

I had my little girl last Thursday and everything went well. No complications etc. I was on the maternity ward for 4 days. I thought I was feeling 'spaced out' just because of the medication. Been home for 2 days now and I'm still feeling the same with the odd times of palpations throughout the days and I'm not taki...

So I’m 29 weeks and 4 days, went into triage with reduced movements. They have told me baby girl is now breech, I am going in twice a week for monitoring and a scan every 2 weeks. Anyone had similar experience? She is absolutely fine but they want to keep an eye out. It’s been fairly straight forward up to yet. Now ...

I am STRUGGLING! 12 weeks tomorrow, first pregnancy and I have absolutely no energy, I can barely tidy the house or walk the dog. I gag just at fresh air, a couple of times this has turned into actual sick. I’m soooooo tired and miss feeling like myself! I was so excited when we found out I was expecting but just fe...

Any ideas? I can't see anything!

Does having this mean later issues in life or is it just a pregnancy thing?

Hi Ladies, Currently pregnant with no 2 and I’m so anxious? I know I’ll just have to get on with it because I have to, but does anyone have any tips or advice on how to balance two babies and have a smooth transition to life with two? any advice would be appreciated xx

Hi! I’ve been using clear blue digital tests for the last several months. Curious about more sophisticated at home testing. Has anyone tried Mira or similar products? What’s worth the money and what’s not? Appreciate any advice!

Has anyone had any info on being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. I currently have gestational diabetes and on meds for that but since Sunday I have had like my heart skips a beat so been measuring my blood pressure at home and been consistently high. I got my growth scan and consultant appointment on Friday so just m...

So I've been taken both of these which midwife said was fine but not sure if it's got to do with anything but baby hasn't been moving as much she was moving a lot Saturday and I left her little Monday I'm 28 weeks as well her heart beat is fine as well

Has anyone else here been determined to have a second baby but is now unsure. I have a 4 month old and have always wanted 2 + babies. My pregnancy was textbook every week till giving birth with what should happen and my labour was difficult but quite simple with it been fast, no complications, no tearing etc and my ...

Is this linked to recovery or just really inconvenient and I’ve caught a bug? I feel awful

I failed my 1 hour glucose test. My doctor wanted it to be less than 130mg but my results were 145mg. Did you have to take the 3 hour test? If you had gestational diabetes, how did your life/diet change?

so my ob did my NIPT blood test today and I was just wondering for the moms who’s had the test done how long did it take for your results to come back? I’ve read online it varies but I was wondering from your experience how long it took.

I posted a few days about it and my doctors office called saying they got the results in right as they were closing and said to call tomorrow 😭 like what?? And the natera website hasn't updated yet?? Why did they get the results before I can even see them?? I'm annoyed right now 😭

I’m due at the very end of January so I’m sure most of you have already done glucose testing. However if you haven’t, I learned today that you should try to schedule it as early in the morning as you can! I failed the one hour test (glucose level was 143 after a 50g dose glucose drink) and my appointment was at 4:00...

I had mine done today (got the lemon lime and it wasn’t bad at all). It seems like a lot of us got our glucose testing done today 😂. I also had a growth ultrasound and this boys head is in the 97th percentile measuring 3 weeks ahead. 29 weeks measuring at 32 weeks and babies already 3lbs. Looks like I’ll have a big…

Hi everyone, Currently 12+2 💗💙 We are desperately wanting to know the gender and would appreciate you all having a guess 😄🥰

I just got home from my nst and baby looks beautiful and my blood pressure was perfect, but I’m having contractions! I feel them with light cramping and not exactly regular but i had several over the 20 minute period. Nothing major. The nurse wasn’t worried and said everything looks beautiful and just like it should...

I’m pregnant for the first time after 2 decades of eating disorder (but being well for the past 3 years). I wondered if it’s normal to eat a lot this early on? I read that I should only be having 1800 cals daily in first trimester but I’m having more than that. Should I cut back? But then I worry I might get obsessi...

Those of you who are at pembury, are you having/had the glucose test? I wondered if everybody had it or jsut depending on your risks? I'm 24+2 and thought I would have been told about it by now?
