Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

So I’m thankful and grateful to be pregnant with our little one (found out we’re having a girl) but who ever said that the second trimester would be a break before entering the third; I wish I was them. I have had non-stop nausea and heartburn thru the first and still having it. It’s hard to find foods to eat when I...

13 weeks 1 day

I don't see my dr till the 1st

Did anyone else not get told where abouts your placenta was sitting? In my previous pregnancy I was told straight away. But this time round she just showed it to us on the screen. So I’m now wondering if I have an anterior placenta as I haven’t really felt any movement and I’ll be 16 weeks Friday. I know everyone i...

If any one got this genetic testing to find out the gender how long did it take? I was told first it would take no more than a week, then I was told 7-10 days but on the website it said the won’t be ready for more then 2 weeks. And I know that’s not too long but I have been told so many different things. Did anyone ...

This feels like a stupid question but I’m gonna ask lol. So I haven’t really popped (I’m 23 weeks and 5 days) yet but I definitely gained weight and had kind of a dent in my belly prior to being pregnant and I’m wondering if anyone else had this and if it went away once you popped? It’s so annoying and I just want a...

I might be being completely thick🤣 I'm 36 weeks and everytime I stand up at the moment, I find myself trying to lift my bump up to relieve how uncomfortable I am. Is this what people say when you can feel pressure down there?🤣 I don't really know how to describe it🤭

I feel I should do more to protect my bump, I still bend over a lot, it doesn't hurt but I try to remember to squat instead to pick up things on the floor. I also still mop, my grandma told me to stop to preserve my back but I still prefer to do the house cleaning myself and I try to be careful. Not sure how long I...

Im almost 3 wks pp and my stomach has not been the same 😬 people said I would struggle with that 1st 💩 post labor but its the exact opposite. Anyone else going through that or should I be concerned 😭

Has anyone stuffed with panic attacks while pregnant? I haven't had them since I was in school an I have had 3 today 🤦🏼‍♀️ i am 34 weeks pregnant

Well, I'm 16 weeks pregnant, recently been a rough week, and getting some support in place, which I thought I didn't think I would need. My anxiety and memory are absolutely off the charts if anyone is the same lemme know! I had my 16-week midwife appointment and being quite a tearful one, really, but my midwife...

Hi, I’m having a glucose tolerance test this week - how have people felt afterwards? My midwife has said I might feel rotten afterwards

I am having my glucose intolerance test today .. guys what the feeling of having that test and hope not as painfully or will react on me or my baby

Has anyone done the test this early? I want to have it done before we announce it… assuming all continues to go well.

I took Kaopeptate which is just like Pepto but different flavors, I forgot to google weather it was safe for pregnancy and I found out it is not recommended. I only took 1 dose but of course I'm panicking that I messed up. All because of my damn pregnancy brain...

Boy or girl ?

I started considering having a second baby after somehow putting behind my traumatic birth experience due to my anterior placenta previa. I bleed through a majority of my pregnancy and swore I wouldn’t do it again but I’m starting to consider maybe having another. I was wondering if anyone had another baby after the...

Heard this is only tested for in certain NHS hospitals and private - is this true?
