I take 150mg of sertraline a day, and I wonder if this is why I don’t feel much about my pregnancy ? This is my second child and Like I don’t feel excited, scared, nervous, anything I feel like I feel nothing. I don’t really know how to explain how I feel. Does anyone else have this kind of emptiness on sertraline?

My doctor recommended we get the NIPT chromosome test at 10 weeks. I’m not sure whether it may be more stressful than reassuring! Is anyone else getting it / has had it and can share their experience?

Hey can someone please tell me this feeling shifts.. We are due our second daughter in a week via elective c section, and we’re so excited to welcome our second child into the world but I can’t help but so guilty towards my first born😭 she is 21 months and I just can’t help but feel like we are taking away the…

Hi has anyone experienced anxiety in waves during the first few week or two after birth? Is this normal? Everyone says ohhh enjoy the baby bubble but I have found it hard as worrying about her, are we doing the right thing and just getting to know her to meet her needs.

I recently moved to across the country and have no OB for the month, but I went and took a glucose test to a diagnostic lab, I did the 1 hr one, didn’t really eat or drink anything that morning. The results came out with 136g with a cutoff of 140g. I have no doctor to talk to at the moment, but I don’t know what to...

My nausea came and went a few days every week before this. Then I felt no nausea for almost 8-10 days and thought it was over since it’s the 2nd trimester. Now it’s happening almost everyday! There’s no vomiting but I don’t feel like eating anything. I also feel some acidity. Did anybody else see an increase in naus...

If a label says 12 months on it is a size 9-12? It’s a stupid question I know 🙈

To start, my partner and I have discussed this at length but we’re just unsure of what to do. So, I am 14 weeks PP with our first child. It took us over 10 years to conceive due to a diagnosis of infertility for severe Endometriosis. We tried IVF and it failed but managed to fall pregnant naturally without officia...

Anyone used the heartility fertility MOT?

Hello, I am really struggling with indigestion to the point I don't want to eat anything. Everything I eat just seems to stay in my stomach and regurgitate into my mouth. I've tried the usual Rennie stuff but it feels more like I need my guts to kick into action. Does anyone have any tips? I think I will try and sti...

What day have you chosen (if you have a choice) to have off each week? Why did you choose that day?

Lol, got my nipt test done 3 days ago now patiently (note sarcasm 🤭) waiting for the results to come back hopefully normal. And momma also find out gender lol. Who's gotten NIPT test done and how long have you been waiting for results? 😁

Hi, I’m 33 weeks pregnant, I slipped on my birthing ball earlier today from standing, I landed on my belly/bump and bounced onto the floor. I spoke with my midwife on the phone and they advised that along as I have no pain, no bleeding or leaking and baby is moving I don’t need to be checked and should all be fine. ...

If I go by skull theory I think I already know what I'm having, but what do people think? Does anyone see a nub?

I’m due 1st of May and the last two days I’ve had the worst anxiety, I’m so exhausted and I just feel off? Is this normal? 🥹 I’m super organised and ready, I’ve done all the research, hospital bags are packed, nursery is ready and bed is made! I just can’t shake this feeling of dread, not necessarily about the baby…

Anyone else feel similar to how they did in the first trimester?🤣 not on the same scale of course but the tiredness has come back full force, the headaches are also killing me and of course, the lovely nauseous feeling🙃 it’s definitely not as bad but I’ve definitely gone back down hill🤣🤣

Find this fascinating, please comment why you think also 🤗

When will everyone start their shopping for baby?

Hello! I’m 24 weeks pregnant and suffering so badly with constipation - is there anything anyone can recommend that’s safe for me to take?

Just over 7 weeks and I feel like I’ve been hit by a train this week. Nothing is helping the nausea, tiredness and headaches. Why does nobody talk about how crap early pregnancy is? I’m really hoping it all goes in second trimester but I’ve known a lot of people who feel the same the entire time. I feel like a shell...
