Used the last of my tests, and I’ve reached 3+ at 5 weeks 2 days. So unbelievably grateful 🤍

You are pregnant ?

So, this might be totally disgusting and some of you will probably judge me hard but, if I’m being honest, I think I’ve washed my hair all of about 5 times during the first trimester (currently 11 weeks and 4 days) it’s just not been the top of my list and if I’m being honest, I’ve mostly been rotting in bed so who ...

This is my first pregnancy. I am 20 weeks and I can’t stop worrying!!!! I’m not feeling a lot of movement and having awful dreams about my unborn baby. I don’t really feel like I have much support from my antenatal department as when I text/email my midwife she doesn’t respond. Does anyone have any advice to stop th...

Guesses anyone??🤦🏾‍♀️I won’t know until delivery day just curious what others think when it comes to the nub Theory..I’m new to this

Hi everyone, I’m feeling really anxious that I haven’t felt anything yet and wondered how many people are in the same position. I know they say that it can take up to 24 weeks but I’m so worried that I’ve not felt anything yet and something might be wrong. Is/was anyone else in the same boat?

My baby had a reaction and we've had to call the ambulance and go to A&E Scariest moment of my life. But all is well now. Wondering if the same happened to anyone ?

Is anyone else getting worried about there baby getting a cold or ill or a temp I’ve all of a sudden become very anxious of my baby getting ill x

Hey lovelies, I have a private gender scan this weekend, on the phone they said to drink something sugary beforehand to make the baby move around a bit more, just wondering if anyone knows what I should drink? I’ve tried to cut out caffeine so I haven’t had a coke in ages! xxx

Anyone else getting more anxious about the 6 month shots and all others? After the 4 month ones I don’t even want to be at the appointment. Plus I just read that it will be 5 or 6 of them 😩😭

Has anyone else’s anxiety heightened since having a baby? I find myself worrying about the most ridiculous things and can sometimes work myself up into a panic.

So mommas! I got a question I just got this letter from my doctor I'm 36 weeks and I don't know how to feel I'm kinda scared what do y'all think

Tomorrow’s my glucose test and so damn I’m nervous about it. I am in no way a big woman outside of the baby in my belly but damn I’m scared I won’t pass. I’ve been very good on sweets and soda so hopefully I’ll be ok.

I had my little girl last Thursday and everything went well. No complications etc. I was on the maternity ward for 4 days. I thought I was feeling 'spaced out' just because of the medication. Been home for 2 days now and I'm still feeling the same with the odd times of palpations throughout the days and I'm not taki...

So I’m 29 weeks and 4 days, went into triage with reduced movements. They have told me baby girl is now breech, I am going in twice a week for monitoring and a scan every 2 weeks. Anyone had similar experience? She is absolutely fine but they want to keep an eye out. It’s been fairly straight forward up to yet. Now ...

I am STRUGGLING! 12 weeks tomorrow, first pregnancy and I have absolutely no energy, I can barely tidy the house or walk the dog. I gag just at fresh air, a couple of times this has turned into actual sick. I’m soooooo tired and miss feeling like myself! I was so excited when we found out I was expecting but just fe...

Any ideas? I can't see anything!

Does having this mean later issues in life or is it just a pregnancy thing?

Hi Ladies, Currently pregnant with no 2 and I’m so anxious? I know I’ll just have to get on with it because I have to, but does anyone have any tips or advice on how to balance two babies and have a smooth transition to life with two? any advice would be appreciated xx

Hi! I’ve been using clear blue digital tests for the last several months. Curious about more sophisticated at home testing. Has anyone tried Mira or similar products? What’s worth the money and what’s not? Appreciate any advice!
