Boy or Girl…any ideas?

I don’t understand the skull or nub theory, but curious to see if anyone has any guesses? This was at 13+4 weeks, and the sonographer gave us her guess but I’m interested to see what others may think 🤗

When does it get better

First Midwife Appt

So I had my booking appt with the midwives last week, 2nd pregnancy but daughter was born prem 7 years ago. They’ve marked me as high risk? (I think because of my daughter being born at 33w previously) but now also prescribed me aspirin to take every night. Is anyone else in a similar position or has been prescribe...

Cravings and aversions making me stressed!

I’m a bit of a fitness freak. I’ve struggled with body image really badly for a long time and the way I deal with it is eating right and exercising everyday. However it’s so hard to manage when the thought of the healthy meal I have planned makes me gag and all I was it nuggets and chips (beige stodgy food) and on t...

Feeling so emotional and lost

Just need to rant. I lost my mucus plug last Thursday and got really excited that baby is coming soon. I had crazy contractions for a few nights in a row and then they stopped. I’m due in just two weeks and I’m one of those people who gets their hopes way too high so I thought she’d be here soon. Every day that goes...

Placenta previa-20 weeks

I have just found out I have placenta previa, full covering of cervix at 20 weeks and wondering if anyone else has or has had experience. Am really upset, I was high likely of a section anyway due to previous section but this feels extremely serious and anxiety provoking.

Anxiety/palpitations

I'm 24 weeks and this is my 3rd pregnancy I feel so anxious this time around I don't know why. I get random waves of feeling anxious which makes my breathing funny and palpitations in the morning or random at night! It is so strange. Maybe hormones.

Please help

3 days late, thought I’d test, I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me or there’s the slightest/faintest line on the test. I couldn’t see it in person but through my camera it looks like there could be the smallest one. But don’t want to get my hopes up if my eyes are lying 😅
