Hello !! I have all the symptoms for Pre - E but my BP sits on the edge of the threshold, (140/90 for pre E readings coming back at 135/85) but my consultant and midwife don’t seem to be concerned?? I’m almost 38 weeks and it’s starting to make me really anxious 🫣

Hi. Got diagnosed today with GD. Was upset at first but then got furious remembering the whole process. They put you under stress of not eating, then give a super high dose of disgusting syrup (250ml) and then you wait two hours with no food. I feel like it’s a scam. No body will react normally to such a stressful p...

Ik this is a sensitive topic but if you’ve had an ectopic pregnancy did you have any symptoms? I have no insurance so no way to get an ultrasound and assure myself that everything is okay. No concerning symptoms other than lack of pregnancy symptoms. Im just nervous about baby not being where its supposed to be as i...

I’ve stared at these tests / photos of these tests for ages. Am I going crazy or is there something there ?? Photos In comments xx

I can’t help but be a little down at my dad’s reaction to me telling him I’m pregnant. For reference I’m a 30 year old married mother of a 13 month old, I have my own home and I work. I have only just told him (I’m almost 4 month pregnant) because I’m undergoing some tests to see if there are any chromosome concerns...

I feel it all time when I walk or get up.

Hi Everyone! Just a quick question as this is my first pregnancy and I’m being very delicate lol. I work in HR at an automotive plant and I’ve been pretty good about managing all safety related things without spilling the beans. However today, I got fed up and moved my office printer which is just the standard deskt...

Anyone getting iron infusions due to anemia? How is it?

Hello! So I have my NIPT testing today including gender! I was curious if anyone has had this done already? If so how did it go and what happens? Is there anything I should do to prepare? My friend told me they took like six vials of blood? Is that true? I'm pretty good with getting my blood drawn but am worried ab...

Hey ladies Is it just me or is the second trimester harder then first because next to no symptoms if anything Still sore boobs Lower abdominal pain Please tell me it not just me I see my baby two weeks ago but I can’t wait to see it again

Just found out I failed my 1 hour glucose test badly 😫 (177). I was so not worried because I passed with my first pregnancy and now I feel stupid. The 3 hour test sounds miserable, I have to be at the lab office for 3.5 hours. I’m really hoping that I pass the 3 hour test. I feel bad that I’ve been putting my baby…

Is anyone else not prepared for birth at all ? I’m due 2nd October but am completely clueless , I don’t have an exercise ball, haven’t drank raspberry tea , haven’t researched or prepared for birth , I don’t want to panic myself even more but do I need to start looking ?

I’m 31 weeks pregnant on Saturday and just wondering if anyone else has had that much pressure down below, on a morning I find it had to move or walk as it hurts in between my legs

After her father shows up for his and does it, how long can I expect till I get the results back?

Today at a medical appointment my BP was 87/56. The nurse kept asking me over and over if I felt ok. She said it was very low so she was concerned. I have always been told my BP reads slightly low but no one has ever shown that much concern… Should I be worried, now she has been panicking.

Does anyone else feel a constant anxiety especially with the excess discharge happening? In 10 w 4 days and everytime I'm sitting I feel like I'm going to get up and there will be blood everywhere. I know anything can happen at anytime but I just want to get through to the second trimester so I can feel some kinda o...
