Hey mammas! I’m not pregnant and have a 3 yr old but I randomly decided to take my bp today, just because I felt worked up. It was 133/94. I’m more concerned over the 94.. the times I can remember it was usually between 60-80. Is this concerning ? Is there reason?

Hello everyone, Yesterday I had a glucose test and today I received a letter from hospital where they say "a telephone appointment has been made for you under the care of the Diabetes Team" – first of all it makes me worry.

I just wanted to know if anyone is experiencing similar? 31 weeks and experiencing constant Braxton Hicks - no pattern as such but my belly is always rock hard and SO uncomfortable!

Anyone starting to dilate?? I had my 36 week check up today and baby is head down/ low and i’m at about 2 cm. I know that doesn’t mean anything but this is my second baby and I definitely wasn’t dilated any at 36 weeks. I’m probably going to have a September baby!

Does anyone else have extreme braxton hicks? They are becoming unbearable now. They are so much worse this time round than when I was in full on labour with my first 😭

Those that have used it before, can nipt tell you sex for each baby if carrying twins? I did the gender nipt test and waiting for results. I have 4 girls I wish I can have boys, even just one but at the end of the day, anything is a blessing from God.

This is my first pregnancy and I truly didn’t think I was going to POP until at least 6/7/8 months. Especially because my mom, mil, close friends didn’t start showing until that time as well for their first pregnancy. Yall I literally started showing as soon as I was 15 weeks. And what’s crazy is that I workout sinc...

Hello everyone, i hope you all are doing great, I just found out I have some symptoms of pre eclampsia. I am almost 34 weeks pregnant.

Nub Theory???? I have ZERO idea… reading online was just confusing me more 😂😂😂 What do you think!?
