Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

I need to let it out… So it’s almost 2yrs ago but when I was in my first trimester, my husband (as well as MIL) was really strict with my diet. I shouldn’t drink ice water bc it would freeze the baby inside, but I also shouldn’t drink something too hot bc it would burn the baby inside…(He told me it’s part of his r...

Hi ladies! Hope you all are doing well😊 I’ve been experiencing Braxton hicks on and off for about a week. This is my third pregnancy, I’m 29weeks1day. I didn’t start experiencing Braxton hicks until 32 weeks with my first two kiddos, anyone else feeling it around where I’m at? Any tips will help, thank you🫶🏻

I have been feeling anxious since yesterday as my LO movements are a little less but I also found out I have an anterior placenta which could impact. We are in the middle of a house move & supposed to move today but I can’t help but worry about whether LO is ok. Of course I’m not carrying any heavy stuff but been do...

My glucose test is tomorrow morning but wanted to ask if you also get to have a chat with the midwife? I wanted to talk about baby’s movements so just wondering if you do get to do that or is it just the glucose test?!

Hi guys so I have a toddler who’s 18 months old, almost 19 months. She’s a super active toddler and keeps me on my feet most of the day🤣 I’m a full time SAHM, my husband works a job that is call based and his hours are all over the place…. Anyways I have just found out that I’m 7/8 weeks pregnant and I am…

Hi All What’s is the purpose for genetic testing please? Thank you

I’m almost 18 weeks. This is my second baby and my first is 17 months old so hasn’t been too long between the pregnancies. Everyone has said that I should feel movement by now but I have felt absolutely NOTHING. No flutters, no bubbles, just feels like nothing is there. I’ve had a missed miscarriage before so I a...

I found out at 21 weeks my placenta is covering my cervix, I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this and has the placenta moved?

Baby number 3 and have only just heard about the nub theory, Any guesses? We find out in 2 weeks and the wait is killing me! 😆 there is another image in comments

I had a panic attack 37 weeks pregnant and had an outer body experience, I felt as though I was not real, it was scary. I googled symptoms and it came up with things like deperilisation and derilsation which some people feel like that everyday of their lives, I feel like every day since that panic attack I’m not rea...

Has anyone had had their nausea disappear and everything been fine?

23 weeks pregnant - I’ve just had coleslaw with my tea while out……. Then I remember somewhere during my first pregnancy years ago reading you shouldn’t eat it! My partner was (understandably) like wtf stop worrying 😂😂😂😂 I mean it’s too late now, but someone else humour me and tell me they eat coleslaw while…

Hi, just wondering how long it took for you to get results of glucose tolerance test? I had mine last Friday, the nurse said no news is good news but if they needed to contact me they would call today. I’ve checked badger app and the results are saying “not published”. I’m keen to get results

Anyone else just so done now? This is my third pregnancy and the worst pregnancy by far! I had HG throughout most of my pregnancy which I've been medicated for, but still ended up in hospital on a drip! I have the worst reflux ever and have been prescribed omeprazole, and all this does is causes serious sulpher bu...

Hi! I’m seeing a lot of women having rough pregnancies like me and I was wondering if there’s a correlation between a rough pregnancy and being on birth control before conception. With my first I was never on birth control and my pregnancy was mostly easy.

I have my GTT test on Friday when I’ll be 24+4. I am a little nervous due to the fact I cannot eat prior, I still get some sickness if I don’t eat when waking up. Alongside the fact I sometimes faint when having blood tests or my vains are super awkward, to the point I have to go to a special unit at my hospital to...

Girls how long before your wedding is it usually before you go wedding dress shopping? I have no clue 🤣

Im 36 weeks today and have just noticed i have bad strech marks on the lower part of my stomach going down onto my pubic bone area, its my first time being pregnant and was wondering if its normal for them to be quite sensitive and also what creams/oils work best to control them as they are quite big

Did you eat salads when you were pregnant / were you worried about listeria? Been reading about how easily it can be found on fruit and veg and how dangerous it can be and now I’m on edge and really anxious about eating out in particular! How careful is too careful? 😓 help!
