Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

so my ob did my NIPT blood test today and I was just wondering for the moms who’s had the test done how long did it take for your results to come back? I’ve read online it varies but I was wondering from your experience how long it took.

I posted a few days about it and my doctors office called saying they got the results in right as they were closing and said to call tomorrow 😭 like what?? And the natera website hasn't updated yet?? Why did they get the results before I can even see them?? I'm annoyed right now 😭

I’m due at the very end of January so I’m sure most of you have already done glucose testing. However if you haven’t, I learned today that you should try to schedule it as early in the morning as you can! I failed the one hour test (glucose level was 143 after a 50g dose glucose drink) and my appointment was at 4:00...

I had mine done today (got the lemon lime and it wasn’t bad at all). It seems like a lot of us got our glucose testing done today 😂. I also had a growth ultrasound and this boys head is in the 97th percentile measuring 3 weeks ahead. 29 weeks measuring at 32 weeks and babies already 3lbs. Looks like I’ll have a big…

Hi everyone, Currently 12+2 💗💙 We are desperately wanting to know the gender and would appreciate you all having a guess 😄🥰

I just got home from my nst and baby looks beautiful and my blood pressure was perfect, but I’m having contractions! I feel them with light cramping and not exactly regular but i had several over the 20 minute period. Nothing major. The nurse wasn’t worried and said everything looks beautiful and just like it should...

Those of you who are at pembury, are you having/had the glucose test? I wondered if everybody had it or jsut depending on your risks? I'm 24+2 and thought I would have been told about it by now?

I did my glucose test today and tell me why the juice tasted like the brand “bug juice” I used to get from the gas station when I was little?😂. Idk if that juice is still around or if anyone else thinks the same thing. Also, did the drink make y’all nauseous? Idk if it’s all the sugar or if it was me having to wait…

Does anyone else feel like they are eating soo much but can’t help it? I am having such bigger portions at mealtimes and didn’t think anything of it, until my partner made a comment about how big I’m getting and saying “you better lose that after you’ve had the baby”. He obviously saw that he touched a nerve and hu...

Does anyone have real bad anxiety!? How are you coping? I currently have a 2.5 year old, think I’m 8 weeks pregnant, work from home self employed and very supportive husband and family. I just constantly feel dizzy from it to the point I don’t want to leave the house but also feel shit when I stay in all day. I’ve ...

My little man was born at 34 weeks exactly, will be a week old tomorrow. I was wondering roughly how long other babies stayed in hospital around the same gestation? He still doesn’t wake up for his feeds and is being tube fed 😔 it’s so hard being stuck in hospital

Is it normal at the end of your first trimester? You’re still feeling nauseous tired and worse going into the second trimester they say it gets better but why am I not getting better?

This is my second post.. sorry! Just getting a bit fed up of waiting 🤣 So I was told to wait until 14th November for my C-section date to be confirmed for next week! I was told this two weeks ago. You can imagine how long that feels to me 😴😴 Did anyone find out before 38 weeks when your date for a 39 week section…

Wondering if anyone else has felt this?? Just started today, it's worse when I stand up. Unsure if baby has changed positions but it's uncomfortable/feeling pressure in my bum🤣🤣

38 weeks today and feeling soooo anxious. I know I love my baby but the thought of birth is terrifying me. Everyone seems to be so excited but I can’t shake off the fear.

Anyone else have high blood pressure? My blood pressure has always been elevated but not requiring medication. I did however have to take medication through my whole previous medication and have just been prescribed medication again. I thought I would be more relaxed about it this time round as I would know what to ...

so after nearly a year of trying we finally managed to conceive and i’m just 4 days away from the end of the first trimester but honestly i am already just so fed up😂 i feel sick when im hungry, if i eat i throw up, i’m constantly tired, my little one has decided to become super clingy and demanding and i just…

I’m almost 11 weeks pp and I had my first period after birth last month, how was everyone’s second period? I’m now late so unsure if it just takes a while for your regular cycles to get into the rhythm again!?

I’m 27 weeks pregnant, first baby, and I know it’s my first so “I’ve never experienced this before” but I’m actually ready for this baby to be born now, my back is in bits, he kicks me non stop he’s so active. I can barely sleep because I’m so uncomfortable. I’m sick of these weird dreams. The anxiety is unreal. I’m...

Do you get the results back in 3 business days??
