I called maternity assessment unit but the midwife said I should be fine because it’s unlikel...

So i took my test 6 weeks and 6 days and got confirmed its a girl. Has anyone gotten a false girl gender.?

I'm on my second pregnancy and been told I have 1:99 chance of developing preeclampsia. I never had this with my first. I'm on aspirin but wondered anyone in a similar situation when baby arrived? Everywhere I've read they come early but seems like most people hadn't been aware and been prescribed aspirin beforehand.

Hey lovely ladies. I’m 17 weeks pregnant and just had a cervical stitch put in. The surgeon said I have basically a very minimal cervix left after 2 Lletz procedures for precancerous cells in March. Has anyone else had similar and gone onto have a successful pregnancy? I’m laid here in hospital worried sick that ...

Just for fun... waiting on nipt test results...

Last pregnancy my blood pressure would spike a little around this time. Right now I know it’s a little more elevated & higher readings then goes down a little . Is this normal to be around 125/60 around 26 weeks ? It went higher then went back down earlier but I’m only worried because I had chronic hypertension last...

I am getting my placenta encapsulated but when I googled it, I keep seeing that there is no scientific study that it’s helpful. Has anyone eaten their placenta and is it worth it?

I feel like I do a little or maybe it’s being pregnant so long I feel kind of weird. Sometimes I even forget there are certain restrictions I don’t have to follow anymore lol

I’ve never had high blood pressure in my life and now I have it in my 3rd trimester 😭 anyone dealt with this? Tips on how to lower it?

I’m sure we’re all getting some pre birth jitters… but whenever I’m still for a moment I get really anxious about birth. I’ve been staying so busy because we have a lot to do these last few weeks unfortunately. So when I’m not busy it really hits me, it’s coming so fast. I just hate not REALLY knowing what to expect...

Did anyone not have sickness with their second pregnancy? & how did you cope with pregnancy and toddlers?

Did you do the sneak peek gender test? Was it accurate?

I had a forceps delivery 5 weeks ago, I’ve just been reading up about it and has scared me that it could cause brain damage etc. Has anyone had a forceps delivery and baby been absolutely fine? Proper mum guilt putting her through that and now I’m scared of the outcome. I wish I did my research at the time.

I am 19 weeks today and feeling so full and breathless. This is my second baby and I didn't feel like this until near the very end with my first and I don't remember being as uncomfortable. I dont have a massive bump yet or a lot of extra weight but the way I feel I feel as if I've about 3 14 pound babies in there. ...

Hi all, I had my 20 week scan yesterday - very happy that the baby is perfectly healthy 🥰 and I found out it’s a boy 🩵 But…I also found out I have a low lying placenta covering the entrance to my cervix & need to have extra scans to check if it moves. If it doesn’t move I will likely have a c-section from 36…

So I've been having a gut feeling I will have pre-eclampsia again this pregnancy. Is it possible to have the high blood pressure, silver sparks, and slight headache and it not be pre-eclampsia?
