30 weeks 6 days

40+6 and I am getting inpatient. 😤 I'm at a birthing center so they won't induce until I'm hitting 42 weeks(they have to transfer to hospital). Or they will send me to the hospital if they do the stress test on wendsday and decided her hearts rate is not where it's supposed to be. I don't hit 42 weeks until the…

Spoke to dietitian on the phone on Thursday and was given a diet plan to follow until I get my testing kit - not getting it to Friday (8 days from speaking to dietitian).

We found out there was no heartbeat on Wednesday (so 3 days ago) and I was 9 weeks along. I decided to wait and see if nature takes over but I’ve since read more online and I’m now panicking it will take weeks. How long did it take for yours to start?!

Literally gave no information other than they are indeed Fraternal 🤦🏼‍♀️ So atleast I know that I guess

Hi! I am coming up on 9 weeks & getting so excited about my pregnancy. I really want to publicly announce it very soon, but I know 9 weeks is a little early. I’ve heard it’s typical to wait until you’re out of the first trimester to announce it, just because any complications are more likely to occur during the firs...

It was supposed to be a normal third trimester visit. Turned out to be hypertensive, blood pressure was through the roof and they only solution was to have my baby girl. Today! Was not ready for this and on top of that was not progressing fast enough and due to the blood pressure being so high… a C Section was now ...

Hi ladies, does anyone take Humulin I on an evening before bed? I was only put on this yesterday and when they showed me how to use the pen at the hospital, they said to do a tester shot first and watch the pen squirt,so I know there’s no air bubbles. The pen I’ve been given isn’t the same as the tester pen and I co...

So I had a scan yesterday at 36+6 which confirmed baby is breech (been in same position since around 28 weeks) and I feel like I’ve tried everything.. I’m booked in for an ECV next Thursday as a last attempt to flip baby otherwise I’ll need a C-Section as this is my first baby and risks outweigh everything. Does a...

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby and the more reading I do the more anxious I get about SIDS. I feel like once she’s here I’m going to not sleep because I’m constantly checking to make sure she’s breathing. Idk what to do to overcome this anxiety and stress.

Am I the only one feeling very overwhelmed by these? I’m 6 days PP after not a very easy birth.
