Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Hello ladies! So I’m 9+3 today and I’m seeing that lots of people are suffering so bad that they cannot eat - I have literally non stop been eating and all I want is salty foods & takeaway ( I’m trying to eat fruit and cook as well but the smells 🤢) I’m just trying to do everything right after 3 previous losses but…

Hi!! First of all, congrats to all the July mommas! I booked a sneak peek gender reveal blood test at a local ultrasound place for tomorrow. I’m also gonna get an extra ultrasound done too just for fun! Has anyone had any experience with the Sneak Peek test? I’m just a little paranoid that it will be wrong. I know...

Has anyone had the above testing and had a positive finding/ outcome?

I am 37 + 4, and I am so over being pregnant, but I have no anxiety about birth. I am a very anxious person (clinically diagnosed general anxiety, and I've been un medicated since finding out I'm pregnant). I have no concerns about birth, though. I feel very comfortable with going into labor, and I trust my body. Ev...

I’ve only just found out you aren’t meant to have pâté when pregnant, but I ate it on Christmas Day as my starter! Baby has been normal since in terms of movements.. should I seek advice or speak to my midwife? What can pâté cause?

I'm a FTM, currently 40+3... Had my 40 week midwife appointment on Friday and had a sweep which she said was successful and my body is definitely on the way to going into labour. Had a bit of a bloody show after this the past couple of days. I had an evening of period like cramps last night and thought it was the ...

Hey, I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with baby no2 and last time I had such bad HG throughout the whole 9 months, only easing slightly at 16 weeks. I’m so nervous for what’s to come, I’m scared of the feeling and being in hospital so much, any tips I would be very grateful 🫶🏼 xx

I’m almost 11 pregnant with my first baby. My first ultrasound is a couple days from now, but I don’t know how that’s going to go. I’ve been spotting (only old blood) off and on since 6 weeks and I’ve been to my clinic to get a swab and that came back fine. My OB says it could be any number of things and to try not...

I’m starting to get really anxious about birth. If I go for a natural delivery - I’m worried about not knowing when it will happen, will I know if waters break, what happens when you lose your mucus plus, how much it’s going to hurt, will I tear, what’s the recovery like and everything that comes with it. I really ...

Working with my manager who is pregnant, I am TTC and finding it so hard to put a smile on my face as she is talking about baby stuff. This isn’t her fault and she is excited but it is crushing me. Has anyone else been in this situation? I am trying so hard to not let it affect me but it is and just silently tryin...

Has any one hit the third trimester and suddenly feel really overwhelmed? I’m finding the unknown scary. I’m trying to control a situation (labour and when baby arrives) that I have no control over and it terrifies me! Hoping I’m not alone 🤞🏼

I had never heard of the nub theory until recently! We will find out from a genetic blood test within a week! What do you think?!

Found out after a recent ER trip that my pregnancy is now high-risk. This is super anxiety inducing since this is my double rainbow baby. Dealing with gestational hypertension and gallbladder issues induced by pregnancy, which means I’ll have to have my gallbladder taken out 6 weeks postpartum. I now have bi-weekly ...

Anyone do the NIPT test at 10weeks for gender and it’s wrong ?

So as mentioned I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I suffer from HG so it’s not been easy. I eat more often but very little amounts due to the nausea and sickness. I also tend to snack in between mostly when I feel like I’m going to be sick. My husband knows this and yet he said this. Am I right to be upset?

I’m 23wk nearly 24wk pregnant and just fell down my wooden stairs about 3/4 stairs, managed to catch myself as my leg went under me but I banged the lower part of my back. Should I be worried?

I’ve been getting really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts like was this pregnancy a bad idea, I know it’s not but I can’t help feeling like I’ve made a mistake and I’m gonna regret it. I feel like this makes me a horrible person and I’m not gonna be a good mum. I have an anxiety disorder and was told to come off m...

I am 5 months postpartum. I do not breastfeed. Stopped at 2 months pp. I have intentionally changed my diet. However I do not exercise at all. I avoid red meat, extra sugars, junk food, mainly eat grilled if I eat out, and I do not snack. If I need to snack, I might have a fruit or nuts or 0 fat yoghurt. But rarel...
