Hello ladies! In my previous pregnancy I had pre-eclampsia but I didn’t know until the day they induced me I just went into hospital the night before with horrendous sickness… anyways I’m obviously at risk of getting it again (which terrifies me) and was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and if you’...

My daughter is nearly 7 months and I have just found out I am pregnant again, I know it’s going to be hard having 2 under 2 but any advice would be appreciated as I’m really scared it’s going to be way worse than people make out.

I’m almost 11 months post partum and noticed my period was a little weird so I took a pregnancy test just to calm my nerves and saw the faintest line so I went to see my doctor to be sure and was told I was pregnant! It wasn’t expected and obviously not my ideal situation since I have a baby but I was kinda excited ...

For people with sh scars did you feel you were treated differently in pregnancy? What was your experience. I’m currently pregnant and I have scars pretty much everywhere and I’m worried people will judge me and think I’m not capable of being a mother

Hi mamas, anyone on their second pregnancy and really struggling? I loved my first pregnancy 2 years ago but this one I don't feel the magic at all. I've gained so much weight, my bump is HUGE and I am so exhausted all the time. Really want to motivate myself to connect with the baby and look after my body but feel ...

I had my glucose test Friday and have just had a text to go in for an appointment in 2 days. But the message had no context. I’m assuming it’s due to results?? What do they do on appointment if it is due to glucose results? Will they do a scan? I’m 27 weeks

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby, third pregnancy. My first and second are identical twins, my third got her wings at 17 weeks. I feel absolutely huge for being only 26 weeks, and I've been having major major back problems. Everyone's been joking they missed one and I'm having twins again, and I'm starting ...

When is everyone telling people? I’m a bridesmaid for my sister weeks after baby is due and I’ve been asked for measurements for a bridesmaid dress this week keep in mind I’m not even 9 weeks yet do I just add some measurements on 😂

More of a general wondering, although I’m hoping it doesn’t come back for a while yet, as I’ve not missed it 😂 When should I expect to come on? I can’t remember from the last time after having my 2 year old how quickly I came on, I seem to think it was around 8 weeks? Im 6 weeks PP today, but I’m also…

We’re not finding out till birth so just guessing 😂placing our bets with each other lol. 12 weeks exactly.

Hey guys. I’ve just had phonecall telling me my date of c section. It’s in 2 weeks time and I’ve not stopped crying from fear and anxiety. No matter how many positive stories I’m reading/ how much I’m telling myself it’s fine and its the right choice and baby needs to be earlier and it’s the best option for her and ...

Anyone else well into the 2nd trimester and still feel like poop ☹️ i’ve been so sick during this pregnancy and was hoping to have perked up by now but if anything i feel even worse than the 1st trimester 🥲 finding it super hard to enjoy it this time around, anyone else in the same boat? 🤰🏼

Hi, I’m new on this group. I’m pregnant with my first baby and I’m between 4-5 weeks. Is it just me or some of you are experiencing this with food because since I found out I am pregnant I’ve been avoiding lots of food which are generally safe to eat and I’m feeling paranoid about it. Thank you

Hey ladies, I’m so shocked, my daughter is 4.5 months old, following an emergency c section and I’m 8 weeks pregnant, we had tracked my cycle and used protection but clearly it’s not that accurate 😩! Has anyone had babies 12 months apart and is it really dangerous ? 🤰 Thanks 💕

I have an infection on my throat and ive been given antibiotics. Has anyone taken them during pregnancy and if they have had any issues?

I'm 34+3 and have been diagnosed with what looks like an atypical presentation of pre-eclampsia. My BP is difficult to control but no protein in my urine or any other symptoms. I can't fault the team at the hospital, they've been great but I have none of the risk factors so it's come as a bit of a bolt from the blue...

Ooh my days anyone else getting the fatigue and nausea ramping up now? I'm 7 weeks and have a 2 year old, which i suspect may not be helping, but my God i swear it wasn't this bad the first time round. Can't wait till I don't have to hide the fact I'm pregnant so there's an obvious reason to family, friends and coll...

I’m really tempted to pay for a gender blood test through SneakPeak or similar. They’re about £100 I think. Any thoughts or experiences?

I have been absolutely knackered the last few days, have you experienced this? I thought we were due to have more energy in the 2nd trimester? 🙏

I have the biggest mum guilt ever about this. I was so excited to meet my first, this is a planned second baby so I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. I’m so tearful all the time. Things with my husband haven’t been great but nothing really bad has happened so I think a lot of it is just me being hormonal and sens...
