I’m 34 weeks and foods just sitting in my stomach! I’m waking up multiple times a night with GERD and being sick! I can’t get comfy in bed whether sitting up or laying down I can’t breathe! 😭 I can’t sh*t and laxatives don’t work:(( really really struggling now

Hey ladies, we are 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have pcos for like 10 years and been told I won’t be able to conceive and here we go with our little surprise. Morning sickness and crying for no reason become our daily routine now and we have our first private scan on Wednesday 25th of September. Main problem is...

Really worried as I had my first appointment on Monday and I’ve just had a call from the doctors to go in about my urine test. Has this happened to anyone else? Hoping it’s nothing serious but can’t help but feel anxious until my appointment next week

Anyone used the clear and simple strip tests? They have a 20miu sensitivity where as the boots one have a 25miu but the boots one is so much darker than the strip one? Does anyone know why? I’m 19dpo x

Why is the TT feed full of Nov baby’s coming early it’s freaking me out especially since im having more cramps and he sits lower and lower these days😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 am I the only one?!

This is probably really a stupid question but FTM but when it comes to months of baby do we post them by the day or date? For example when baby is a month old are we saying they are a month when it’s 4 weeks from the day ?my LO was a Tuesday baby so would I post on the Tuesday at 4 weeks she’s a month or on her act...

Two of my friends haven’t shared their news widely until 16 weeks and that’s gotten into my head a bit. I also have reasons not to share too early because of previous losses. But at the same time I want to be able to feel happy when I finally reach 12 weeks next Thursday (I hope!!) When are you telling people?

For everyone who already did the NIPT testing.. did they put it on MyChart? Or where do you view the results?

My c-section is on Dec 3rd and I haven’t done anything to prepare for baby girl. And honestly I am afraid of having the nursery done and losing her then coming home and seeing the room. I had an early miscarriage in January and I have been afraid since then to do anything. I don’t feel like I want to get things done...

So I took an early response because I swore I saw a line in person on my others and now I am just going stir crazy. Hubby says he can't see either

Anyone else experiencing a big shift in their appetite once they entered their third trimester? For me, I'm still hungry, but I never know what to eat anymore. It's not an aversion like the thought of food doesn't make me sick or anything, but i just don't have any cravings lately, and I never know what to eat. It's...

Hello ladies. I have GD, I was diagnosed at 34 weeks and I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. I've just checked how my midwife measured me the other day and my belly is no measuring 90th percentile. I'm 5ft1 and normally a size 6/8. I'm now literally riddled with anxiety that my baby is going to be huge! Anybody else in th...

Ok so I did the Down syndrome blood test on the 11th sep, now it’s been a week, just wondering how long it takes for the result to come? And where exactly is it gonna be sent to? Like via email? Post? Phone call?

Hey I’m currently going through a high risk pregnancy I’m carrying my baby girl with no (very little) fluid I’m now 28 weeks and doctors are saying her lungs are not developed as they should be as well as kidneys having cysts on and both kidneys are small and they do not think she will live longer than a few hours...

Any ideas? These are the only two photos we got 💙🩷

I have my 1 hour glucose test today. Anyone else had theirs yet? I’m hypoglycemic and tend to pass out when my sugar levels are off, so I’ve been really dreading it. On the bright side, I just drank the drink and it wasn’t too bad! Now I just have to hope I don’t get sick before the blood draw. 😬

Has anyone had gallstones in pregnancy? I’m 31+5 and I’ve been having horrendous flares since 20ish weeks. I’ve ended up in a&e a few times with it. I’ve been told I need my gallbladder taken out after baby is born, however they’ve now said they could potentially do it before he’s born but that poses risks - I’ve re...

Is anyone else itching for another baby yet? I know I am🤣 I miss my newborn :(

So I’m 27 weeks with my first baby and just really not enjoying pregnancy like I thought I would. I’ve wanted to be a mum my whole life & thought I would love showing off my bump & just “glowing” but it’s not the case. I am a bigger woman so my bump is not completely obvious and I think the world just thinks I’m fa...

I’ve heard about the nub theory but no idea based on these pictures! Any guesses? 🤣
