Just saying hi! I’m a first time Mom at age 35 and I’m not going to lie I am beyond Nervous. I wake up out my sleep with anxiety so my Dr. prescribed me sleeping pills which I really don’t want to take. Nausea has been HORRIBLE! But I’m 9weeks today and it seems to be getting better 😆 I’m open to ALL advice

Yall technology is insane!! I wonder how accurate is it!

Thoughts on gender 12 weeks. Heart rate 164. Hg extreme morning sickness and down 8.6lbs. Also how long to get results?!

Hey lovely ladies. I don’t know why but these any twinges or any signs of baby yet texts are really unsettling me. 1st baby and 1st grandchild both sides, none of my friends have children. I’m overdue. Have been getting these texts even before my due date from people that I don’t speak to regularly. I feel like I ha...

I’ve dipped my urine (working in healthcare) needing to wee a lot thought it was a possible UTI, not a UTI but it’s shown positive for glucose. Should I ring triage or just wait til my midwife appointment on Tuesday?

I’m over 38 weeks now and not experienced any Braxton hicks at all, it’s my first baby. Is this normal?😂

I had preclasmsia at the tail end of my last pregnancy and unfortunately stayed with me for 6 months after I delivered baby. I have been diagnosed as pre-hypertensive this pregnancy, anout 2 weeks ago. Well the past 2 days my BP has been a roller coaster of going from lile 120/70 to 143/87, etc. Just up down from no...

Has anyone else suffered a sickness bug during this pregnancy or a previous? I’m in Greece on holiday and bed ridden with a vomiting bug. Sickness has subsided but concerned about baby. Im home Friday and unsure whether to book in a scan when i’m back. Keen to hear from y’all!

It’s an awful day for me. Anyone has any experience or advice? Thanks

Ours is today and I’m nervous for some reason. I think I’m nervous we’re going to need speech or interventions not that they’re the end of the world just as a mom don’t like the harder road of things.

Bit of a rant... Everytime I go to the OB I mention my cramping, which I'm rather used to at this point. Just the same as my second pregnancy, I've had what I choose to call cramps because when you say contractions at 4 months they laugh at me. I definitely get enough water ("a dehydrated uterus is going to be cramp...

Hey all is anyone taking setraline whilst pregnant. I was on a good path to coming off it prior to being pregnant now I feel like after 3 days I’m feeling super unwell alongside all the pregnancy symptoms and needing to take it. Just feel like a lazy slug right now…

I've just been weighed at my 35 week midwife appointment and it's freaking me out. She said my bmi was over 30 and that I might be offered blood thinners. I don't understand why she's done my bmi in the first place surely it's going to be high I'm pregnant and swollen? I feel that she's scared me when there's no act...

Anyone else get completely different readings even if you test straight after testing? If I get a high reading, I often test again just to make sure they are accurate and they are always completely different! I had one come up 8.7 and I tested within a minute and it was 7.7!

i’ve recently found out i’m pregnant again and when weighing myself to fill out the referral form i’ve put a significant amount of weight on since my last baby. i’m really worried about my weight now and how it’ll affect my pregnancy, i’m just looking for some reassurance from other mums who have been in the same po...

Just got blood drawn Saturday so today is probably the day they received it in the lab. Curious how long it’s taken for you. CF took about 10 business days and I’m wondering if it’s the same for this one!

how did you guys get your insurance to cover you NIPT test? I want to get it but I've read it can be so expensive out of pocket and my insurance won't cover mine😭

Hello Ladies! Well, I am 40 weeks + 5 days and scheduled to be induced on Friday. Full disclosure, I am 36 years old and this is my first. I have never had that "feeling" like it seems most women do that they MUST have children. I have never desired it, it always sounds nice but if it didn't happen, I was okay wit...
