Advice

For first time moms or previously FTMs that have had their little ones with no intervention did you go over your due date?

Should I be worried?

This is my second baby after 9 years, and therefore feel almost like a first time mom.

I have another appt next week for an ultrasound, but this past week has been killing me bo...

Nuby problems - no yellow symbol

I am having problems with my Nuby. Brand new and just out the box. Did exactly what the instructions told me to do but it’s boiling hot to touch when I shake it. I have to hold the lid and it doesn’t ever change colour. It’s always green. But the water is fresh from the kettle and just boiled. I have reset it - l...

UTI

Hey lovelies! I’ve just been told by the doctor that I have a UTI. I’ve had it for a week now and they’ve only just told me.

Hi beautiful ladies. Wondering if you can predict the gender using Nub theory? It personally confuses me. Hope everyone is blessed ✨ I was 12 weeks in the scan ❤️

Early gender test

Hi! Is anyone planning on doing / has anyone done an early gender reveal blood test? I don’t think I can wait until 20 weeks to find out 😂 I’ve seen they’re 99.9% accurate but still slightly sceptical and wondered if anyone had any experiences!

When to buy?!

Girls, when did you start buying everything? Like moses baskets, beds, bottles etc… My mum said 32-35 weeks but that feels so late! When did you guys start buying stuff?

Anyone had 2nd pregnancy that’s been classed as high risk due to first baby being born on a low centile? Just curious how your 2nd pregnancy went with extra scans etc.

I’ve just looked at my pregnancy notes online from my booking apt. and seeing high risk has made me nervous

Quick question

I’ve heard both ways. So if you have been very low on blood pressure during pregnancy and now it’s higher than normal but not “bad” high just higher than normal? Does it mean it could be preeclampsia if it’s higher than normal ?

I'm a laid back person and everyone around me is worrying that I won't even realise I'm in labour. Is this normal? As I'm pretty sure I'd know if I was in labour

I have so many questions

I just don’t have an appetite after finding out that I’m pregnant, I’m about five weeks and I’m having such a hard time eating anything, any suggestions on supplementing nutrition for baby? The other night I had to chew a hotdog and then swallow water to get it down just so I could get some protein in me
