Okay this is soooo random and I do not want judged for it hahahah. I’m 25 weeks + 4 days and the other day I just had this mad urge to bite a table , it won’t go away. Every time I sit down to have dinner I can’t take my mind off just biting the table. I have also been in the car or walking and thought like inedible...

Do I count 4 weeks from his birth date 14.07.24 onwards or do I go by his birth date of every month so 14th of every month? It’s so confusing as the calender is saying he will be 12 month on the completely wrong date🤣 I think I’ve done his 1 month and 2 month birthday wrong🤣

After trying for 4 years with no luck, we’re finally pregnant (4weeks 3days). I’m really scared something is going to go wrong, had 1 miscarriage 13 years ago. Got a beta on Tuesday and then 6 week scan on 13th October. How do I keep myself busy until then?!

Hey, yall. So I was gbs positive. I did receive antibiotics in labor. Now my baby is 8 weeks old. I get sooooo scared every time I go to the bathroom, have to change a pad, even when I shower! My hands are literally raw from washing. I know it's mostly due to my PPA but I'm just so worried about giving her strep now...

When dose the worry stop I’m almost 20 weeks and I’m just having constant worry if my baby is okay I’m so so so scared of losing him .I have an anterior placenta

So I may have preeclampsia and I'm kind of freaking out, does anyone have any comforting thoughts or advice?

Has anyone used this before?? Is it accurate?? I wanna try but a little hesitant

How did you guys deal with waiting to go into labor? I am so anxious and starting to panic because all of a sudden I don’t feel ready anymore. I know I am and I just want to meet my baby boy but the anxiety is real. One stressed out first time mama.

So I’m thankful and grateful to be pregnant with our little one (found out we’re having a girl) but who ever said that the second trimester would be a break before entering the third; I wish I was them. I have had non-stop nausea and heartburn thru the first and still having it. It’s hard to find foods to eat when I...

13 weeks 1 day

I don't see my dr till the 1st

Did anyone else not get told where abouts your placenta was sitting? In my previous pregnancy I was told straight away. But this time round she just showed it to us on the screen. So I’m now wondering if I have an anterior placenta as I haven’t really felt any movement and I’ll be 16 weeks Friday. I know everyone i...

If any one got this genetic testing to find out the gender how long did it take? I was told first it would take no more than a week, then I was told 7-10 days but on the website it said the won’t be ready for more then 2 weeks. And I know that’s not too long but I have been told so many different things. Did anyone ...

Hey! This is my second pregnancy (first is now 11yrs old, so basically starting a fresh with this little guy!) I have always been low weight, stabalising and happy at around 50kg (& 5’8”) I have always had low BP because of this. At this point I would like to say, I eat LOADS, I just seem to be a very active person...

This feels like a stupid question but I’m gonna ask lol. So I haven’t really popped (I’m 23 weeks and 5 days) yet but I definitely gained weight and had kind of a dent in my belly prior to being pregnant and I’m wondering if anyone else had this and if it went away once you popped? It’s so annoying and I just want a...

I might be being completely thick🤣 I'm 36 weeks and everytime I stand up at the moment, I find myself trying to lift my bump up to relieve how uncomfortable I am. Is this what people say when you can feel pressure down there?🤣 I don't really know how to describe it🤭

I feel I should do more to protect my bump, I still bend over a lot, it doesn't hurt but I try to remember to squat instead to pick up things on the floor. I also still mop, my grandma told me to stop to preserve my back but I still prefer to do the house cleaning myself and I try to be careful. Not sure how long I...

Im almost 3 wks pp and my stomach has not been the same 😬 people said I would struggle with that 1st 💩 post labor but its the exact opposite. Anyone else going through that or should I be concerned 😭

Has anyone stuffed with panic attacks while pregnant? I haven't had them since I was in school an I have had 3 today 🤦🏼‍♀️ i am 34 weeks pregnant

Well, I'm 16 weeks pregnant, recently been a rough week, and getting some support in place, which I thought I didn't think I would need. My anxiety and memory are absolutely off the charts if anyone is the same lemme know! I had my 16-week midwife appointment and being quite a tearful one, really, but my midwife...
