Woohoo!

Hi everyone! Currently 5 weeks pregnant, first time mum and I’m a nervous wreck! 😂 Still testing every day using the cheaper tests to make sure the line is getting darker. Very tired, boobs are SO SORE, and experiencing some cramping now which I know is totally normal. Is anyone going to get an early private scan? 😊

This is my second pregnancy, and ev...

Suspecting twins! First time mom

Hi there! Curious if any of you didn’t know you were having multiples until your 20 week scan? I am 17 weeks along and thus far have evidence of one baby, but I really think I may be having more than one based on off the cuff opinions of healthcare professionals and based on my symptoms and bump size thus far.

Please help!!

I’ve just been to an early pregnancy scan, I was 4 days late to my period so I’m around (4 weeks + 4 days) I tested positive on pregnancy. They said at the scan they couldn’t locate the pregnancy so I need to rule out ectopic pregnancy or it could just be that it’s too early to tell. I’m really worrying about ectopi...
