Community Posts, Tips & Support on Second Trimester

Looking for some positive stories to keep me sane. I have complete placenta covering cervix at 23 weeks. Good news stories on how’s yours turned out? I have read so many regarding bleeding and pre term delivery.

Heyyy Mommas !!! Quick question did anyone always have low blood pressure throughout pregnancy????

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she had her wic appointment today. She is 35 inches and 29.8 pounds. Should I be concerned? I'm 4"9 and my husband is 5"6. I just don't want her to be short like me

39 weeks and 2 days first time mom & zero dilation. Do anyone have any tips. I have tried walking, and raspberry tea. I just brought dates, okra and primrose oil to give it a try.

Just wondering if anyone else suffers with this? And if you have any advice on how to deal with it. I’ve had it since pregnancy, and it got a lot worse once I gave birth, especially in the newborn phase. It’s gotten a bit better recently but sometimes pops up (like today) and I really struggle to deal with it and en...

30 + 1 and have my GD test tomorrow, I’m so anxious and scared that I’m going to feel / be sick or pass out whilst waiting. Does anyone have any positive stories or any advice, thanks x

Has anyone suffered with really high blood pressure after having baby? I had a c section back in March but every now and again my blood pressure sky rockets, with a really strong pain in my chest, feeling like I’m having a heart attack. I’ve gone to the Drs and got blood pressure meds but currently on 10mg and it’s ...

Not sure if anyone feels this way and I have spoken to couple of my mum friends and they said totally normal and they felt the same. At night time I’m feeling so anxious and overwhelmed I want this pregnancy and this baby is so so wanted but I can’t help but feel anxious and scared, I have so many thoughts. Am I ca...

Is anyone else getting it?? I don’t know how I can treat it that’s safe for the pregnancy. TIA.

I’ve only been seeing my baby’s dad since the start of August… I’m 6 weeks pregnant. Does any one else have a similar situation. At the start of the year I came out of a year and a half relationship ( very toxic ) but I still think about him as I really really loved him ( I lived with him for nearly all of the relat...

35+1 days and I'm honestly so uncomfortable!! I can't find a position that is comfy and the pressure on my pelvis feels like baby is trying to birst through 🤣😭 The acid reflux, constipation, insomnia, dizzy spells. Can't wait for this pregnancy to be over and have my amazing baby boy here!! 🩵

Had my glucose tolerance test today and I feel absolutely shattered. I went to bed at 1.30 and got out at 5pm. Has anyone else had it and felt so exhausted? I don’t remember it being so bad last time!

Has anyone used the in clinic test available at some private scan places and pharmacies? I'm aware the at home tests have questionable outcomes but tempted by the in clinic ones. Thanks

My baby is 9 months and I’m strugglinggggg with the morning sickness and looking after him the way I usually do and I’m only 7 weeks!

Hey 👋🏼 I’m currently 30+6 days with my first and I’ve not experienced Braxton hicks. Do they come later on? And what if I don’t have any, how will I know if I’m in labour or starting labour. Anxiety is getting to me as I have a high pain tolerance and I’m worried I won’t know the difference from pregnancy…

Can you lay on your back during the first trimester? I can’t get comfortable anyway else.
