Losing the will to live

I wake up feeling really nauseous but goes away most of the time during the day. Is this my sickness about to start? When did yours start and how did it start off?

Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation or can offer any advice... I had an 11mm cervical biopsy in 2019. I then feel pregnant with my daughter in 2021 when the threshold for receiving additional scans to monitor cervix length was 10mm or more. Unfortunately I wasn't listened to by my midwife so di...

I have 2 girls named Layla (4yo) and Leena (2yo). Them beginning with L was a coincidence. I need help with baby #3, also a girl.

This is my third time spotting before my period and every time I’m not pregnant. I’ve been trying for few months. Has this happened to anyone else?

Isit just me but now the heartburn and acid reflux has become insane. Like I'm literally burping up acid. I've been drinking so much water but nothing helps. Whatever I eat triggers it. Only if I don't eat it settles abit. How are you guys dealing with it? I'm up all night can't sleep because if I lay down it become...

Did anyone have a doula they absolutely loved? I’m looking for a gentle, warm, calming presence. I’d like someone very experienced - at least 5-6 years. Comfortable in silence / not overly chatty (this sounds mean but I just know I will have very low patience during labor and naturally introverted 😅). Ideally…
