Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

As we get closer to having our babies, is anyone else nervous/ anxious about motherhood and life with a baby? I went through pregnancy loss prior to this baby and it was a long road to get here- they are so wanted but I'm such a worrier that I do worry about things like if I'll do a good enough job, what if my menta...

Who’s good at the nub theory??

I had my LG 3 days ago, only been home as of yesterday evening. I've been feeling fine and well other than just pure exhaustion. But I have just started having this weird feeling in my chest, I'm not short of breath, but it's making me really worried it could be something serious and I don't know what to do. I don't...

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my second baby and god,all I feel is guilt for my first born! What if he feels he isn’t enough😭😭😭

Curious to hear how long it took for everyone to get back their results. Had my blood draw on 12/23 (I live in NH and know the test is done in CA - so I'm sure adds time). How long did it take you to receive yours?!

I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant and have had constant nausea since 5 weeks in. I've bought every home remedy under the sun! It seems to ease it a little bit but I'm worried about going back to work soon. Please tell me this doesn't last too long 😢 has anyone had any positive experiences with Cyclizine? I was prescribed…

I had my gestational diabetes test on Christmas Eve and still haven’t heard anything or had anything added to my patient portal. Can I assume I don’t have it or should I wait a bit longer as there may have been delays with Christmas/New Year? X

Is anyone else confused on how we are pregnant for 40 weeks but they say 9 months but in reality it's almost 10 months if not 10 months? Like I'm already a little over half way to my due date but I still have 5 months. Weird right? Or is it just me?

This is my first baby and wondering what people make of the scan photos. Boy or girl. 12 weeks 2 days 😊 I've tried to look into the nub theory but I honestly couldn't say.

23 weeks and now feeling really heavy! The pressure- Feels like someone is sat on my tummy. Any tips to help release the pressure feeling ?

Hi all, I had a miscarriage on 1st Nov at 8 weeks (baby had stopped growing before 6 weeks) I found out on Christmas day that I am pregnant again. I'm so anxious! Constantly checking for blood and for any sign something is wrong. I'm currently 4 weeks 5 days and I can't help but feel will the same thing happen ag...

Y’all I know this is just a silly thing and not backed by science but let’s pretend.

I have an appointment tomorrow and took my 3hr glucose today, I’m scared they’ll say I failed and I can’t accept that 😭😭

Ladies. I’m a first timer with this pregnancy. Is it normal to feel anxious? I’m 7+4 and so very anxious. And extremely hot. Like already sweating in my sleep and it makes me worry.

Hi mamas, need some advice and a bit of reassurance. I just found out I am pregnant, 8 month post-partum. Obviously my husband and I are over the moon and beyond excited to have another baby. But, I can’t help but feel guilty that I am cutting my son’s time with us short? I’m not sure if that makes sense, but I am j...

I ma getting rock hard belly quite often, i am currently 34 weeks and 6 days. Is this normal? Usually after eating

FTM, wasn’t really concerned going over my due date until now. I get the “any baby yet?” Texts daily, I’m so exhausted, and now I’m feeling anxiety if my baby is ok. How did yall combat this? (My next Dr appt is tomorrow)

We’re not finding out the sex but I love the theories. Yet so far every picture we have been told you can’t tell with nub theory etc. Had 20 week scan today and wondering if can tell in this one?

This is my first baby and as the time gets closer I am starting to find myself panicking so much about it, end up getting upset and in a state I guess more about the unknown, I’ve heard so many horror stories, is anyone else feeling the same

I’m 36 + 1 and the anxiety has started to take over. Not always feeling baby move and constantly worrying that something is wrong and I won’t get to hold my baby in my arms. I’ve got 2/3 weeks left to go as having a c section due to high risk pregnancy. I don’t feel I can go another 3 weeks like this. I’m struggling...
