Having Sex

Hey Moms!! Anyone struggling with having sex? In 2 weeks i’ll be 7 months and i haven’t really been in the mood for sex (it’s been 3 months) I think it’s me being insecure about my stomach honestly. How big my stomach is growing and how i feel just big and unattractive. Anyone else?

Some advice/words of encouragement or even experience would be great😬

So I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant, I have a nearly one year old (she’ll be one in a couple weeks) so if I am they would be about 1.5 years apart. We weren’t planning this and every conversation I’ve had with my partner is that we’d wait until she was about 3. I don’t think I could terminate the pregnancy as I now look...

Can I ask for a sooner date for a planned c section?

My baby is breech and I'm getting a scan next week to confirm it. My midwife said I will probably be booked in for a c section at 39 weeks, but I feel anxious about waiting that long and going into labour with a breech baby! I live about 40 minutes away from the hospital, and also don't have anyone in the area to dr...

Combined Test Results

Hello, has anyone else had a combined test result of 1 in 5000, I know it’s still low risk but most of my friends have had 1 in 10000, so half the chance. They got pregnant in their 20’s though and wondering if it’s just an age thing?

Moral support and experience of high BP

Hi Ladies, I am looking for anyone who has had a similar experience with your thoughts and coping mechanism for you and your partner. I went for a midwife appointment today. My BP reading was high 3 times, so she sent me to triage as it has been going up in the last few appointments. Obviously, I would rather be s...

Gestational Diabetes

Hiya, presuming most of you have had/or will have the test? I did mine last week (Tuesday) and was told given the size of my bub, I might have diabetes (eye roll). Anyways it’s been a week and the hospital has not called, I’ve chased, nothing. Surely they would call if I was positive….right? I want to know if I c...

Not sure if I sound crazy here ?!!

So before having baby I’m used to sitting in dark room (not depressing vibes, just cosy vibes, candles, little side lamp) I really cannot bare natural light! Always been this way. Soon as my partner opens the blinds I literally have a melt down cos I can see all the dust/marks all over the house and it drives me ins...

Reassurance needed please..

I live in Florida and I’ve lived in my apartment for two years. My baby is 6 months old. It’s really cold tonight so I decided to turn the heater on and it was only on for about 5 seconds, started smelling like a fire so I immediately turned it off. Idk if I have a gas or electric heater but now I’m paranoid and can...
