Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hello everyone, I am in my mid-40s, currently 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and this is my first pregnancy. It has been a long-awaited journey after several unsuccessful IVF attempts. Until recently, I was managing well, but now that I am approaching the birth, I am feeling increasingly stressed and scared, which i...

Anyone have experience getting dental work done in the third trimester?What was your experience like? It looks like I’ll have to get some emergency dental work done this week and would love to hear any tips to reduce anxiety around this whole experience…

Nervous for this test what flavour drinks were you offered, what was it like? and were you allowed to go outside for fresh air after the drink?? TIA

Waiting for one so I can stop testing

Maybe an unpopular opinion but love the glucose drinks lol First time I got orange second lime this time I got orange again I wish I could of tried another flavor lol What flavor did you guys get? Do you like them? A lot of people tell me they are gross 🙃

This is my first pregnancy, and I'm suddenly feeling quite overwhelmed. I think it doesn't help that I'm feeling rough

Hi I’ve recently split up with my partner and am 31 weeks pregnant. I am absolutely terrified of going into labour and giving birth on my own. Has anyone been through labour alone ? I have no family and I have no friends so I don’t really have the choice. I know I need to be strong for my baby but at the same time I...

Hi! Kinda weird wording but, I feel mentally weird while pregnant. Like i just don’t sit right in myself maybe like my thoughts aren’t the same. Idk if it’s the anxiety or hormones or both but do you ever stop kinda feeling this way like do i ever feel normal again or should i get used to this being a parent?

I’m 38 weeks and I feel like I’m starting to loose it a bit I’ve been nesting, I’ve been waiting and slowing down with work . I’m grateful to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby but the feeling of not knowing when or what is goin on day to day it starting to catch up to me mentally. I keep having false alarms ...

13 weeks with baby Girl 🎀💞🩰 Due September 19th

Our best friends are getting married at the end of April. I'll be 31/32 weeks. It's a 2 hour flight and we are planning on risk assessing the whole thing (travel insurance, making sure we know where the nearest hospital is and that we can get there, translating a pack of my medical history into Italian etc etc). My ...

Worried as I’ve convinced myself it’s one gender based on nub theory and if it’s the opposite i’ll feel silly.

This is my first pregnancy and everyone I talk to says/has said that I will probably give birth a week+ after my actual due date. It seems to be the norm that it takes longer for first baby specifically? I just wanted to check and get a better idea what your experiences were with your first baby’s !

Dated at 12 + 5. The sonographer was convinced she could tell the gender so just intrigued to see if anyone can guess compared to what she told me? I have no idea how the nub theory works 😂

Just wanting to know what people think in regards to skull theory please 21 weeks scan

Just had a 16 week gender scan and found out we are having a boy, so excited as we already have a girl. They also told me I have an anterior placenta, I had my placenta at the back last time so just wondering if anyone else has their placenta at the front and does this really stop you from feeling movement until muc...

But I know there are still some 2tm here and it’s a big group. I’m 39+4 today and ALL signs of labor have stopped. I had contractions 3-4 days ago and cramping As of yesterday and today I feel NOTHING I’m getting so restless. No sleep,hips are hurting,I hate my relationship with food. I’m eating for survival and i...
