For anyone who's done the NIPT test for gender, how long did it take to get the results? I just did it this morning and I'm so impatient 😂😂

Hi! I have my full gestational diabetes test tomorrow and I can’t remember for how long I need to fast and if I can drive afterwards? I missed the opening times of the bell line. TIA!

So in the span of two days my husband and I decided to buy our first home and I’m 33 Weeks along. I’m freaking out because we’ve got 7 weeks to pack and get settled (if lil guy doesn’t decide to show up early) Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

Pregnant with number 2, I’m only 6 weeks pregnant but for some reason my partner is giving me the ick. I just don’t want to be around him, I’m suddenly feeling smothered and just like omg I don’t want this commitment. Did anyone else feel like this?! I’m not sure if it’s because I’m pregnant and hormones…. I didn’t ...

How long did it take you guys to get NIPT results after they received the sample? Was it before the estimated date?

I’ve had to start testing my glucose levels for GD. Every time I have tried to do a sample I keep getting ‘Err1’ or ‘Err2’ showing on the monitor screen. Has this happened to anyone else? I’ve looked at the instructions at it says that it’s due to an error with the strip that you put in.

Omg I’m 40 weeks this week , couple more days to go and I just cannot do this anymore . I don’t wanna be pregnant and I don’t wanna go through the birth . Motivation and mindset at an all time low . Pls tell me this is normal , as this is not the mindset I envisioned entering motherhood with. I am resenting this exp...

11w 6days - any thoughts?🩷🩵

I am 13.4 today with our first baby and so excited! ❤️🌈 I always have thought 13 weeks is officially the second trimester but some of my apps are saying 14 weeks? What do most people think? I find when talking to friend and family they all say end of 12 week.

Really love seeing the comments under the photos posted so thought I should give it a go. What do people think? Hopefully picture clear enough

At 30 weeks pregnant I have now just been informed I have LOW PAP A what does this mean???

I’ve come back from my 25 week midwife appointment and my blood pressure has increased from 120 to 140 over 67 (give or take) so I need to go back again in two weeks. Has anyone has this? I imagine it’s quite common but also it could lead to a higher risk of pre eclampsia although very rare in second trimester.

Hi, I’ve just recently started to wear a pregnant belt at work to help my pgp just came to me are these safe to sit down in? I work in a supermarket and spend can spend a good bit of my shift sat down I do try to keep on my feet best I can but my back ache is sore? Currently 29 weeks?

Has anyone had this when pregnant? Did you stop smoking? How long did it take? I’m really trying but after years of smoking to deal with my pain and having so much of it during this pregnancy I’m really struggling

My bloody friend has arrived this morning at 6 weeks and 4 days postpartum 😱😮! I was expecting it to be a longer wait tbh, I’m not breastfeeding which slows it down apparently, how long was it until your period arrived after birth?

Comment if your dr told you future pregnancies would be automatically considered high risk or not.

Does anyone else live in constant fear and anxiety that something will be wrong with your baby or you will have a miscarriage? I usually avoid these topics because they scare the crap out of me. I'm a FTM and I never had a miscarriage that I know of. I know statistics tell me I'm out of the red of the first trimeste...

30 weeks pregnant and i've reached the stage where literally every way i sit i am uncomfortable. My last two pregnancies i didn't get this way til much closer to the end 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

So I came out positive and I have to make another three hour test if it does come out positive again what do you ladies recommend me to do to take care of my self and my baby as much as I can while he’s still in my womb ?!

Did anyone else constantly feel SO hungry in their first trimester? Everyone says they can’t eat/constantly feel or are being sick but I’m the opposite. The only time I feel nauseas is when I’m hungry which is often! I’m 10 weeks and have already put on 3kg, I can’t stop eating & all I want to eat is rubbish/take...
