Ladies do you guys also see a faint line? What test do you all recommend?

Till how many weeks can we lay on our back?? I’m 22+5 weeks pregnant and it’s my first pregnancy , i get so tensed when i lay on back

How are we doing ladies? I had really bad baby blues with my first baby a few years ago (she was a very fussy and I was really struggling). I’m so content this time around but just got hit with a bout of anxiety out of nowhere which I can only assume is the hormone change (we’re day 2 today and milk just came in)....

I had gestational hypertension in my previous pregnancy and have been told I'm severely high risk for developing pre eclampsia this time.

Is the NIPT accurate ?

I’m 29 weeks, and I feel self conscious some days because I feel like I’m not eating enough food and that I’m starving my baby. I wake up around 5am because that’s when my man goes to work, then I’ll have a healthy snack at around 7 am, and then fall asleep until around 11am, and have like fruit or something before...

What gender are we guessing? Just abit of fun🩷🍼🩵

Scan at 12+2 ❤️ have heard about the nub theory but have no idea what I’m looking for 😂 any guesses would be greatly appreciated 😁

This is purely for fun it’s just to see who wants to test their gender guessing skills ! I already know the gender here but I’m curious to see if you can tell. I keep seeing things about nub theory but I’m unsure what that is 😂 I will reveal in the comments later on.

Is it normal to wait 3-4 for a repeat blood test? My blood pressure is lowering slightly everytime I go for check up but only problem is breathlessness going up the stairs which I think is a weight problem?

I’ve just picked up my first gestational diabetes prescription(needles and test strips), they’ve given me 200 needles but only 50 testing strips. I have to test four times per day so this gives me 12 days before I run out. I’m just wondering if this is a normal amount? It doesn’t seem like a lot considering I’ll be ...

Has anyone else failed the 1 hour glucose test and had to take the 3 hour test. I'm just curious about what the results were. My first one was only slightly abnormal, so I'm hoping this one is fine. I go in about an hour, so we will see. I just wanted to get some ideas of what everyone else experienced.😁

I haven’t changed anything but recently i got a cut on the roof of my mouth snd then on the side of my gums. My mouth isn’t usually this sensitive. Could it be pregnancy related?

I’m feeling so down both physically and mentally. I’m at 13 weeks…I thought the sooner I got to second trimester, I’d be feeling more relieved from the nausea and morning sickness. I’ve always had nausea during weeks 8-11 but never threw up until this past week and yesterday was the worst. Has anyone had a similar e...

My first pregnancy I had a urine test every time I went to the doctor and this time around they haven’t done one. Is this normal? I also had HELLP syndrome first time around so I keep asking my doctor to check everything yet he still doesn’t check protein in urine. Should I mention something next time I go? I ju...

Sorry I just need to rant! I’m 29 weeks an absolutely miserable! My back hurts constantly and I seem to catch illness after illness - right now I have some sort of tummy bug AND an ear infection. I can hardly even walk up the stairs without feeling exhausted and dizzy. I have a toddler who is being completely negle...

Currently I’m 8 weeks pregnant, I can’t do this anymore. I feel constantly bad, tired, nauseous. I got pregnant at the same time as my co-worker ( she was around 2 weeks ahead of me), last week she found out a miscarriage which really hit me hard. All I do all the time is worry. Due to morning sickness I’m skipping ...

My one boob is itchy and nothing helps it I was thinking it was an allergic reaction to fiancé's cat cyase she was on my chest but it's been hours lotions didn't help with the itch and I took a shower after I got her off me thinking it was her but now I'm thinking it's pregnancy related. I'm 36 weeks pregnant

How is everybody coping with eating? I find I get so bloated and full off the smallest of meals that I end up skipping meals or not eating enough throughout the day. I went into the hospital with reduced movements and they tested my urine and it showed up ketone, and I realised I hadn’t eaten since lunch time (it w...

Did anyone have their NIPT test around 9w4d? I have mine this upcoming Friday and that’s how far along I’ll be. Didn’t know if any of it would be incorrect.
