Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

So I had my booking appt with the midwives last week, 2nd pregnancy but daughter was born prem 7 years ago. They’ve marked me as high risk? (I think because of my daughter being born at 33w previously) but now also prescribed me aspirin to take every night. Is anyone else in a similar position or has been prescribe...

I’m a bit of a fitness freak. I’ve struggled with body image really badly for a long time and the way I deal with it is eating right and exercising everyday. However it’s so hard to manage when the thought of the healthy meal I have planned makes me gag and all I was it nuggets and chips (beige stodgy food) and on t...

I'm 37 weeks and so worried this baby will decide to come right in the middle of a storm/hurricane, and I won't be able to get to the hospital. Due to floods and so on...

Anyone else experiencing more anxiety in the third trimester? Or feeling on edge? I feel like I always have this little ball of nervousness in my chest. I am so excited to meet my daughter in just a couple months, but I’m scared too. I try to stay positive and manifest a healthy delivery, but the anxiety is always l...

Just need to rant. I lost my mucus plug last Thursday and got really excited that baby is coming soon. I had crazy contractions for a few nights in a row and then they stopped. I’m due in just two weeks and I’m one of those people who gets their hopes way too high so I thought she’d be here soon. Every day that goes...

I have just found out I have placenta previa, full covering of cervix at 20 weeks and wondering if anyone else has or has had experience. Am really upset, I was high likely of a section anyway due to previous section but this feels extremely serious and anxiety provoking.

I'm 24 weeks and this is my 3rd pregnancy I feel so anxious this time around I don't know why. I get random waves of feeling anxious which makes my breathing funny and palpitations in the morning or random at night! It is so strange. Maybe hormones.

Pregnant with baby 2 and currently almost 35 weeks. I’ve been told baby is back to back. Did anyone have this in a previous pregnancy? Did baby turn easily before/ in labour. The NCT site seems to suggest it can lead to a longer labour, more painful and higher chance of assisted delivery/ c section if they are ba...

3 days late, thought I’d test, I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me or there’s the slightest/faintest line on the test. I couldn’t see it in person but through my camera it looks like there could be the smallest one. But don’t want to get my hopes up if my eyes are lying 😅

Hi ladies. I’m 30 weeks and since entering the third trimester seem to be feeling really anxious about lots of things. For the most part I’ve had a lovely pregnancy, low risk and been quite relaxed. I’ve started worrying about not feeling prepared and having lots of health anxiety about pre-eclampsia, my waters brea...

There was a lot of sugar in there, in not sure how much he ...

Just looking for solidarity and support in regard to possibly getting pregnant soon with a second baby. I am excited at the thought of having another soon and feel as though God has shown me after prayer that it is time to be more open to it. BUT I am also so so anxious about the thought of my baby not being my only...

I swear every night at dinner time she starts moving around so much it makes me so nauseous and I can't eat. I end up laying down for a while before I can force myself to eat something. I don't want to wish these last couple weeks away but in these moments in so uncomfortable. Pic from my son's 3rd birthday part...
