These tests are from the last 2 days. I feel like I can see a line on all of them in person but my partner can’t.

Hi ladies just got a question Am pregnant with baby no.2 and this time my placenta is at the front - is that normal? Last time it was like at the back. Will i have like some kind of complications?

Anyone experiencing a shift in your mood now deeper into 3rd trimester? I’m a FTM and I’m trying to control the swings but it’s hard and feeling sad or irritable is so random now, I don’t like it. Do you think this is how it’ll feel postpartum too?

This may be a dumb question, I’m probably overthinking it tbh but idk 🤷‍♀️ My baby was born on New Year’s Eve 2024.. would that make today 1 month old? It’s 4 weeks from the birth date so I’m not sure 😂 & do I have to keep counting by weeks to be accurate or is there a simpler way to go about this? I think it’s…

First trimester has been kicking my butt. I work full time from home, I’m enrolled in school and have a toddler! These past few days I’m puking up everything. I can’t eat anything and am barely holding fluids down. I feel miserable

Hello! I’m new here! Just found out this past weekend at the ER I’m about 6 weeks pregnant. I am 30 years old this is my first pregnancy. I am very very nervous. My first prenatal appointment isn’t until March 11th and that has not helped my anxiety. It seems so far away. I’m always nauseous/ having morning sickness...

Will the initial pain come back in the beginning once I start with baby no 2?

I’m currently 7 months pregnant with my first baby and really struggling with not being able to plan the exact time, date and location that I’ll go into labour 🙈 We normally lead a pretty busy life, often needing to travel 90 mins from home for family, work and volunteering commitments.

How long did it take for your results to come back?

Good Morning, I am 12 weeks 3 days with my 4th pregnancy and today found out I have low Papp-A at 0.31. I have never had this before I am freaking out, I have looked on google and they say baby could miscarry in the second trimester which the hospital letter does not say! I’m terrified of something bad happening. ...
