Questions

Ladies. I’m a first timer with this pregnancy. Is it normal to feel anxious? I’m 7+4 and so very anxious. And extremely hot. Like already sweating in my sleep and it makes me worry.

Pregnant…

Hi mamas, need some advice and a bit of reassurance. I just found out I am pregnant, 8 month post-partum. Obviously my husband and I are over the moon and beyond excited to have another baby.

Anxiety creeping in

I’m 36 + 1 and the anxiety has started to take over. Not always feeling baby move and constantly worrying that something is wrong and I won’t get to hold my baby in my arms. I’ve got 2/3 weeks left to go as having a c section due to high risk pregnancy. I don’t feel I can go another 3 weeks like this. I’m struggling...

Body conscious

Hi all. How are those who are pregnant handling their changing bodies? I’m really struggling to accept myself getting bigger EVERYWHERE. I was already curvy but now it feels so noticeable as I can’t control it. Currently 18 weeks and although I’m exercising, eating as well as I can, I don’t feel very body positive. ...

Natera NIPT

Hi mamas! Has anyone taken the Natera NIPT test? How long does it typically take for results to come back? My OB says up to 2 weeks, but that seems like such a long time to wait 😭

Pre-eclampsia??

This is my 4th baby, 37 weeks today and my blood pressure and urine sample have always been normal at my check ups. I’ve never had pre-eclampsia but for a couple of weeks now my hands have been getting really swollen and then maybe once a day or every other day my feet will get swollen as well. I’ve been feeling rea...

Overwhelmed

Anyone else feel very overwhelmed? 18 weeks today and can feel flutters but not constant or consistent so can’t help but worry, then thinking about everything that needs buying for when the baby is here and worrying about storage 🫠

Advise

I have just found out I am pregnant with number 2. My first pregnancy was an absolute nightmare and I don't think that even justifies it. Severe HG and Preeclampsia until I delivered at 37 weeks. I am absolutely petrified of dealing with this whole thing again. What are the chances ??? Any tips ???
