I had my 20 week scan on Friday and baby girly was laying funny so we have to go back in a few weeks as they couldn’t finish all the checks they needed to. I have been to the midwife twice as I’ve been worried she’s moving less than normal and I feel like I’m going crazy 😫 I saw her two days ago and all was fine…

Do I panic if I’m 24 weeks tomorrow and still no kicks, when going for our scan the hospital said my placenta was in the correct place for me to feel the kicks. Just wondering if I should get in touch with the midwife or leave it another week and then seek help x

I always had anxiety but it is so much worst this pregnancy, I’m also having more panic attacks than ever. I feel suffocated and panicky almost always. I also have cptsd that I’ve learned to manage without medicine so this experience has me very uneasy.

Just took my BP it was 114/96. I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant. On Wednesday I didn't have any protein in urine.

I’ll be 40 weeks on 3rd Dec but have a c-section booked at 39 weeks on 26th Nov for health reasons. I am prepared in the sense that I have everything ready at home & my hospital bags are packed.

136-119 after liver and gallbladder surgery 🥰

Need to vent😩 My partner is so supportive and so grateful for how good of a father he is to our son but he’s the only person I can’t talk to about this and obviously being a male he won’t fully understand these worries so would be nice to relate to some women😅 I’m so worried about everything for trying for our…

When does pre eclampsia go after delivery? Will it ever go? Is it a gradual process or what actually happens? .. I am so worried about this medical issue. I am 6 days post birth.. and it's constantly on my mind and it's stealing a lot of my time with my son cause I'm just super worried about it.

So I'm 4 months pregnant, not very big at all yet, but it bothers me to wear tight clothes such as pants. It bothers my stomach. I feel like it's pressing me too much even though I know it's not. I guess I'm just sensitive? Has anyone else experienced this early on?

Mamas when did your baby flip with either this pregnancy or previous pregnancy. I’m 36 weeks and 1 day and as of now baby is still breech, My C-section is scheduled for December 6th because my doctor thinks baby will not flip at this point.

Finally managed to see baby’s nub at 13w4d. I’m so useless with nub theories, what do we think?? 🩷🩵

When do you take your baby to the dr for crying/fussiness? I am starting to think there might be something wrong, but other than being REALLY fussy for 2 months, i have nothing. But i don’t know if this is normal or not? I have no friends to ask so i’m just on my own.
