Can’t stop eating chocolate

Bit of an embarrassing one but I have such a craving for chocolate and I have just binged through absolutely LOADS (and did so yesterday too) and now I’m super paranoid how bad that will be for my unborn baby (15 weeks 3 days). I feel so guilty like I’m already letting them down and I’m not sure why I am just givi...

Anyone good with the nub theory please?

Really sorry to post here, I never seem to get a response in the nub theory groups or I'm not finding any that are very active🤦🏼‍♀️ Scan was 12 weeks exactly, due date is 3rd July.. my 2nd baby is born on 6th July so fingers crossed this baby is a week or so early like the others, or it'll be an expensive month😊…

Pregnancy rage vent - 32 weeks

Hey ladies, was wondering if anyone else has experienced pregnancy rage? It seems like a switch was flipped. Me and my partner had a huge argument this morning, my rage took over to the point I threw and smashed his mug which is so unlike me. I have felt awful and weepy ever since and feel like I’m losing it. I’m...

Anyone else fail their glucose test?

I had mine today and I honestly feel miserable now. I have the worst migraine ever. I didn’t expect to fail because I haven’t been eating unhealthy and due to nausea I usually only eat two meals a day. Not quite sure what to do any advise?

Possible preeclampsia?

I went in for a routine Ob appointment and the nurse took my blood pressure then another nurse did then I got sent to labor and delivery they are keeping me here to monitor my blood pressure for a couple hours and they drew my blood they also gave me a menu so I’m assuming I’ll be here awhile. What should I expect?

Gender from blood test

I was wondering how accurate the blood test for gender chromosomes tend to be. I'm 12 weeks and I got the blood test (no results yet) and my husband is super excited to find out but I don't know if the test is accurate enough to do a gender reveal to the family or if its safer to wait until 20 weeks.
