Second baby first trimester. I cannot drink any water whatsoever. I can only drink fizzy drinks with ice and eat pizza or Chinese. I vomit when I don’t eat but will continue to eat. My first trimester was the complete opposite. I couldn’t keep anything down anyone feeling like this? Im wondering if this baby is a di...

We had a few lh tests lying around and I thought I’d take one just for fun, I’m 9weeks 1 day and this is the lh test not fully developed yet

I am so impatient and I don’t even know if I can see a nub 😂 but what are your guesses ?? Boy or girl?

First time Mum trying to use the nub theory ☺️

In both my pregnancies in first and second trimester I’ve struggled with food aversions (as well as sickness). This time feels a lot worse though as at least last time there was some select foods I enjoyed, this pregnancy I feel like I haven’t enjoyed any food the whole way through so far, even drinking water is a s...

Found out I’m pregnant on Thursday again after 3 losses this year, but I’m hoping and praying this one is the sticky bean we’ve been waiting for since our LB was 14 months old! (Almost a 1.5 year trying). Does anyone know if they had pre-eclampsia during labour if anything will be different during their pregnancy th...

I am now 30 weeks on labetalol for high blood pressure since 27weeks and there has only been either a trace or 1+ protein they sent of my urine which came back with a normal protein creatine ratio, so i brought some dipsticks just for peace of mind and while the protein has remained at either trace or +, i had +++ o...

Today is our first day with the band and I’m already so overwhelmed. I know people say the first week is the hardest to adjust. My baby is sweating so much from his head because of it. Does anyone have any experience with the band or any advice :(

9 weeks, 4 days! Transvaginal Ultrasound. What’s your guess? 🩷🩵 (7 weeks, 4 days scan in comments!)

Soo nothing I do is helping my blood pressure go down. My pressure usually is on the low side, however, last night I had a salad, zucchini and squash, mash potatoes, soup, and fried mushrooms at outback steakhouse. My blood pressure has been 129/90 last night and around there all day. I exercised, I drank more water...

How long did it take everyone to get their NIPT results back? I’m on nateras official website and apparently my provider didn’t turn in my blood sample until 4 days after I took the test so it’s prolonged the already long wait. Estimated to get it back Oct 4th but wondering how long it took for others to get them back.

Anyone here with UCSD and has done NIPT? How long before you got your results? And was it posted on MyChart or did you find out at the next appointment?

This pregnancy is so much different than my first last year. I'm 34 weeks but experiencing bleeding hemorrhoids and today my ankles (or should I say cankles?) got really swollen and they haven't gotten better after over an hour of lying down on the couch with my feet elevated on pillows. I'm just not sure what to d...

Why am I so worried/nervous about every little thing? Were you like this too with your first? What helped you not to be so uptight? 15 weeks currently.

Hi mommies, I’m 5 months pp with my second one. Had gained about 6 kgs during pregnancy and now I am 5 kgs below my preg pregnancy weight. I’m taking postnatal vitamins and iron tabs. Diet is home food- rice lentils meat etc. junk is minimum. I eat sweets too. As per my height, I’m 3 kgs above my ideal weight even ...

Are we supposed to fast before the glucose test ? I have my test tomorrow at 9:00am, I can’t remember the instructions and it’s too late to call 😅

Anyone looking at an early c section and stressing about skin to skin and being separated from baby? I’m having a hard time adjusting to the fact that I will most likely need a c section around 37 weeks and that my doctor said they don’t do immediate skin to skin. I know all that matters is healthy baby and healthy ...

Hi all, I’m in my first trimester and I am ITCHY. I was sporadically itchy for my first baby but this is a new level. It’s not itch from stretching as I haven’t started to stretch yet (3 weeks in). Did anyone experience this / have any suggestions?

Hi lovelies, I was wondering if anyone here is navigating pregnancy with epilepsy, especially during the second trimester, and experiencing irregular seizures. I've been living with epilepsy for over 14 years, so it's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My neurologist has been amazing and has adjus...
