I had my baby a week ago and I've been having random spurts of wanting/needing to cry. And on top of that I've been snapping at my partner as well. I feel horrible for doing it, I just don't have much control over it. My Dr says it's normal and that they aren't worried about it but I'm not sure how to handle it eith...

I got huuuuge with my 1st. Like i went from being scrawny my whole life to fitting in plus size clothes in the last trimester. I also ended up having pre eclampsia which resulted in an emergency c-s and a whole load of complications for me after. I know i over ate with my first and i wonder if that has something to ...

My OB office said 2-3 hours before my appointment but I thought last time I was supposed to start at midnight. Not sure if I’m remembering the rules for the 3 hour test or if they just told me 2-3 hours because my appointment is in the afternoon. Will the results be more accurate if I start fasting at midnight?

i’m currently 12 weeks pregnant and i’ve started talking to this guy, and i’m unsure on when i should tell him i’m expecting. i feel like doing it to late/when we get serious would be kinda wrong of me, but i don’t wanna spring it on him if this isn’t gonna go anywhere. any advice on when would be best to tell him?

Wondering if anyone has used an instant results at home gender test, yes I am far enough along actually more than, but I would like to prepare ahead of time for baby as I’ve had two others and it’s just what I do lmao. 😆 I know my O.B. Clinic can do this but things have been pushed so far out with short staff that…

So I went to my primary today. I’m back on the meds every day with the addition of another one. They say it’s safe during pregnancy. I don...

So I ended up having to go to labor and delivery yesterday and they wanted to keep me to watch his heart rate and they did a NST and I’m curious what this means if any one knows that would be great, they did mention preterm labor and I can’t fight the feeling of me being dead tired and I’m so hungry but don’t wanna ...

Hey all! I’m 37 weeks and I went to the OB today. I noticed I’ve lost 2 pounds since last week. They didn’t seem too concerned and didn’t even mention it lol. Just curious is this is typical? I will say I’m not early NEARLY as much. I was eating like 3 meals a day plus a crazyyyyyy amount of snacks. Now I’m maybe...

For those that got your nipt test done with Labcorp, did you get your results through email or text? I'm patiently (not very) waiting for my results 🤞🏼

Hi all, Iv been told I have gestational diabetes and that my fasting number was fine at around 4 (can't remember exact) but my result after 2 hours was 10.6. Does anybody know if this is a really high result or not 'too bad'? I'm actually so gutted as everything was going to smoothly.
