This is probably really a stupid question but FTM but when it comes to months of baby do we post them by the day or date? For example when baby is a month old are we saying they are a month when it’s 4 weeks from the day ?my LO was a Tuesday baby so would I post on the Tuesday at 4 weeks she’s a month or on her act...

Two of my friends haven’t shared their news widely until 16 weeks and that’s gotten into my head a bit. I also have reasons not to share too early because of previous losses. But at the same time I want to be able to feel happy when I finally reach 12 weeks next Thursday (I hope!!) When are you telling people?

For everyone who already did the NIPT testing.. did they put it on MyChart? Or where do you view the results?

My c-section is on Dec 3rd and I haven’t done anything to prepare for baby girl. And honestly I am afraid of having the nursery done and losing her then coming home and seeing the room. I had an early miscarriage in January and I have been afraid since then to do anything. I don’t feel like I want to get things done...

So I took an early response because I swore I saw a line in person on my others and now I am just going stir crazy. Hubby says he can't see either

Anyone else experiencing a big shift in their appetite once they entered their third trimester? For me, I'm still hungry, but I never know what to eat anymore. It's not an aversion like the thought of food doesn't make me sick or anything, but i just don't have any cravings lately, and I never know what to eat. It's...

Hello ladies. I have GD, I was diagnosed at 34 weeks and I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. I've just checked how my midwife measured me the other day and my belly is no measuring 90th percentile. I'm 5ft1 and normally a size 6/8. I'm now literally riddled with anxiety that my baby is going to be huge! Anybody else in th...

Ok so I did the Down syndrome blood test on the 11th sep, now it’s been a week, just wondering how long it takes for the result to come? And where exactly is it gonna be sent to? Like via email? Post? Phone call?

Hey I’m currently going through a high risk pregnancy I’m carrying my baby girl with no (very little) fluid I’m now 28 weeks and doctors are saying her lungs are not developed as they should be as well as kidneys having cysts on and both kidneys are small and they do not think she will live longer than a few hours...

Any ideas? These are the only two photos we got 💙🩷

I have my 1 hour glucose test today. Anyone else had theirs yet? I’m hypoglycemic and tend to pass out when my sugar levels are off, so I’ve been really dreading it. On the bright side, I just drank the drink and it wasn’t too bad! Now I just have to hope I don’t get sick before the blood draw. 😬

Has anyone had gallstones in pregnancy? I’m 31+5 and I’ve been having horrendous flares since 20ish weeks. I’ve ended up in a&e a few times with it. I’ve been told I need my gallbladder taken out after baby is born, however they’ve now said they could potentially do it before he’s born but that poses risks - I’ve re...

Is anyone else itching for another baby yet? I know I am🤣 I miss my newborn :(

So I’m 27 weeks with my first baby and just really not enjoying pregnancy like I thought I would. I’ve wanted to be a mum my whole life & thought I would love showing off my bump & just “glowing” but it’s not the case. I am a bigger woman so my bump is not completely obvious and I think the world just thinks I’m fa...

I’ve heard about the nub theory but no idea based on these pictures! Any guesses? 🤣

Is anyone else experiencing their babies being super fussy around 3 months? I suddenly can’t go out in the car for more than 5 minutes, can’t leave the room, the only place she is happy is on me. Feel like I’m back in the newborn stage- so demanding! Currently sat in a lay-by on the side of a dual carriage way…

Hi ladies, hope you’re all well. I don’t know if I’m just being silly and overthinking things but since I’ve been pregnant I have lost almost a stone. I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and I definitely have a bump but I’m a little scared that the losing weight maybe be to do with the baby not growing? I’m type 2 diabetic so I h...

Hi all, This may seem like a silly question, but did you notice that you had more braxton hicks with your second baby? I’m currently just gone 31 weeks but I seem to have been having them on and off all day every day since 30 weeks?! I got them early with both pregnancies so quite used to them, but I don’t ever re...

Is anyone else finding their skin has gone mad since being pregnant? I’ve got the worst acne on my chin and it’s really getting me down. I feel so self conscious. I’ve just started Skin and Me (about 3 weeks ago) but I just want something to make it better! I’ve heard of skin 47 and wondering about trying that. Has ...

I know walking can help with labor, and it’s something you can generally start anytime, but during my first trimester, I had a bleed during the scan and was told to take it easy. Anytime I walked more than usual, I’d start bleeding, and they advised me to avoid any risk, especially since I’ve had a previous miscarri...
