Did anyone else constantly feel SO hungry in their first trimester? Everyone says they can’t eat/constantly feel or are being sick but I’m the opposite. The only time I feel nauseas is when I’m hungry which is often! I’m 10 weeks and have already put on 3kg, I can’t stop eating & all I want to eat is rubbish/take...

Please tell me how you survived your first trimester. I’m trying my hardest to keep on top of every day life, look after my toddler and work but I’m constantly drained and feel so sick 24/7 Although I’m not actually being sick the nausea is stopping me from eating so I’ve just got nothing in my system apart from ...

I’ve done my research and personally I don’t want to take the classic glucose test that they give you normally, I’ve asked to do the fresh test or anything else but my doctor said no. Recently I discovered finger pricking is an option frequently used. Has any mommas done this instead of the glucose drink? if so plea...

Some reason I’m absolutely not looking forward to it on Wednesday, any tips? 😭 I’m stressing about it

Has anyone ever been refused a Glucose Tolerance Test for having drank only water in the fasting period? I had read the information on NHS site which stated water is allowed but was told by hospital staff today this is wrong and I was sent away to come back at another stage. I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my first, jugg...

4 weeks + 2 days pregnant. Due date July 14th 🥹🫶🏾 this is my first baby

Baby moved as pic was taken so can’t quite tell how the nub is sitting- what do we think is most likely boy or girl?

Has anyone else had glucose in their urine at 25 weeks and been referred for a glucose test at the hospital? Mine showed 3+++ and I'm terrified now as the midwife said gestational diabetes can cause birth defects

Good morning ladies, I have had the combined screening. My NT measurement was 4.4mm and high risk blood test 1 in 8 for downs and 1 in 313 for Edwards and pataus. I'm booked in for the amnio tomorrow. I was just wondering is there anyone out there that has had a positive experience where you have had the results for...

I have high blood pressure (being monitored weekly) and the risks are making me extremely worried about my baby making it or about having issues during birth, especially after previous losses. Has anyone had similar or had complications in pregnancy after loss? What did you do to not get overwhelmed/worried/ stressed?

Anyone experiencing nesting in the first trimester?😅

Hi guys, I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and am getting more scared everyday about the labour and birth process, is there anything I can do to try and feel less scared about this process?

Hitting the 3rd trimester and I’m already feeling awful😫 the pelvic pressure is no joke, the quality of the sleep, night leg cramps, skin pains , heartburns 😫 and also I can barely move around , I feel so big I’m ashamed to weight or show myself as I’m constantly getting the opinion “ wow is so big” , the…

I'm 40 weeks in a couple days and have had zero signs of labor. Not even braxton hicks. Baby still moving around plenty. I'm a FTM so I know it's common to go over term. Has anyone else had a easy end of pregnancy? The general consensus ive gotten from family and friends is how awful it gets towards the end. I don't...

How long did it take to get results back please

I got my diabetes test tomorrow 9am and I'm a little nervous I don't know how I'm going to feel I've read people feeling sicky and also lately if I leave it too long to eat I feel dizzy and I don't want to feel like that I'm having a banana now before 12am. I can drink as much water as I want? Also the wait seems so...

Slightly off topic but has anyone had an early gender blood test and it’s been wrong?

I feel full of so much rage sometimes and then I snap at people around me and then I get hysterically upset because I know I’m being so horrible but can’t control it. I feel so unstable with the hormones and emotions right now!

I think i may be having a girl for baby #2 this first trimester has been so much easier than before for me! My son had me dry heaving/gagging on NOTHING every day and every morning until i was 15 weeks and i still got nauseous this time around but i didn’t suffer nearly as much as i did with my son. I’m around 12 we...
