I am 35 weeks pregant when is the time to start my birthing ball !

My husband and I have been trying for 5 months to conceive. I gained a lot of weight this month after weaning. My nurse is calling me on Monday to discuss setting up my semaglutide schedule.

I’ve had my libre since yesterday afternoon and the lady said it will work from 1 hour later. None of my readings are matching. It keeps telling me im having a hypo which I don’t feel like I’m having one so I’ve been testing my fingers. I thinks it’s so dangerous because if I’d have listened and treated it, I’d be s...

Has anyone else been at risk for preterm labor but their OB can't see you for 3 weeks and you are due in 5 weeks??

I have a 10mo old and just found out I’m pregnant. I seriously don’t know how to feel.. the idea of having 2 under 2 is really scary to me. I wanted to wait a while longer, but now I don’t know. Postpartum was rough and I was just starting to feel like myself again. Ugh I need advice, I’m scared lol

Hey all! Anyone else totally paranoid about something going wrong? I’m 34 years old, 6 weeks pregnant, FTM, and I’m struggling with so much worry.

Hi everyone sorry for the tmi question but was wondering if anyone could advice me regarding treating thrush while pregnant.

I get so offended when anyone comments on my appearance. I shared a picture with a friend and she thought it was a great idea to tell me that her coworker is 31 weeks and our bellies are the same size (I’m 24 weeks). Now I’m even more self-conscious wondering if I’m gaining too much weight. I never thought I’d be p...
