Is anyone else feeling this way? I was told a week ago I might need inducing from 37 weeks onwards and ever since its made me ask myself if I regret getting pregnant. Is this normal? Anyone else felt like this? I didn't feel this way before so I wonder if it's because I suddenly have a lot less time to mentally a...
Hi everyone, just need some advise, I’m an ECT whose currently 13 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I started my first school role last week and I told my HT I was pregnant ( the reaction wasn’t great - she wasn’t very happy and was vocal about it) I’ve already changed my 12 week scan once because I was unable to g...
I wanted to wait the recommended 6 months AT LEAST but I got a positive pregnancy test. I really do want a second child though. I wanted my kids to be born super close together. But I am a bit scared for the risks since it’s so soon
Any mamas due date December 30 or December 31st? If so when do you think your conception date was?
Hi everyone. I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant and I can feel baby moving which is exciting. My friends are also excited too. But they keep shaking my belly and poking my belly. I’m wanting to keep my baby safe. Is this something that can harm my baby ?
First time mom here and I’ve a low lying placenta, kind of makes me cautious because I don’t feel the baby kicking I’m 22 weeks and haven’t really felt the baby kick at all I also don’t have much of a bump and makes me really sad seeing everyone else having bumps and I just mainly look bloated I could get away with ...
Anyone else’s belly button turn brown during pregnancy? Does it ever go back to normal?
Does anyone else find they sweat way more now than before giving birth? I got that it would happen in the first few weeks postpartum but I'm 10 months postpartum and it is ridiculous how hot and sweaty I feel all the time 🥵🥵🥵
I have a diabetes test tomorrow morning at 8am, is there anything I should know or be aware of before and during this appointment? I’m confused on whether or not I’m allowed to eat or drink before it.
Hi all! I had pre-existing hypertension before the pregnancy and my bp was managed well until 32 weeks. My 32 week growth scan showed decline of growth and my bp readings were 130s/90s or high 80s. Been to triage and having biweekly monitoring but they have not admitted me yet. With bp meds my bp is on 125/late 80s ...
Not a single bloody sign of becoming a mumma soon! Despite being 2cm at my last midwife appointment and her being convinced I would of had baby by this weekend my body just doesn’t seem to be on board with the idea of evacuating this baby… anyone else in the same boat? No amount of sex, walking, pineapple or spicy ...
32 weeks and feel like I’m carry different even from the other day. Feel like he’s super low, movements really low, bumps dropped and he’s weighing a little above average. Should I be expecting early labour or anyone else feel like this? 🤣
I just came from the midwife and my glucose tested positive and am measuring 40 weeks now at 37+5. I had a GD test at 20 something weeks and it was negative, anyone get GD late and what happened? Did you get induced early? I have another GD test to be scheduled in the next few days but just curious!
I feel like I’m really worried about losing myself and my freedom during pregnancy/motherhood. It’s really upsetting me. And I’m scared it will trap me in one area where I feel like I can’t travel etc.
I failed by literally 11 points 😭 how do you guys think the three hour will go? Not looking forward to it. This one made me nauseous which it didn’t do with my first pregnancy :((
How do people get out of bed in the third trimester? I am putting my legs down first and pushing myself up slowly with my arms but every time I seem to hurt my stomach?! Is this just normal in the third trimester? Feeling quite heavy now 🤣
Mine is September 18th :)
I failed my 1 hour glucose test…does the next one make you feel as awful as the 1 hour does or worse? ☹️ super not excited honestly. TIA!
