Has anyone kept their pregnancy a secret unless someone asked about it? I’m 37 weeks pregnant and going in for my 4th c section on the 16th and I haven’t told any family about this pregnancy except for my sister who will have my other kiddos, and nobody has picked up on it. I’m trying to figure out how to announce i...

Hi everyone, I am almost 17 weeks pregnant and had an appointment with the midwife today, and according to my urine sample she asked if Ive been eating a lot of sweets as the sample result showed it was quite high. I’ve been booked in for a glucose test in couple months time, and I’m worried if the baby or me get di...

Does anyone have or recommended a portable white noise soother?

Would this concern anyone or has anyone experienced this before? I’m 23.5 weeks and have been admitted into hospital for three days for blood pressure of 186/154. I’ve been released on blood pressure medication, weekly assessments of bp urine and bloods. And I’ve got a growth scan booked for a week tomorrow to check...

Any other momma’s here had GD? I had it last year with my son. Diet-controlled but it keeps putting me off having another 😂

I just wanna give a shout out to those doing this pregnancy with little ones already. Obviously every pregnancy has its difficulties, but I keep seeing similar posts around the pains and upsets that I’m having, but ur doing it with other kids to look after. I honestly can’t fathom even working at this point in my pr...

It's like half a line, is it a dud? I'm testing early (5 days before due period)

This is my tests from 7dpo to 16dpo, really hope this works out after a chemical a couple of months ago 🤞

i think being pregnant is so fun and silly, like crying every time something is sweet to me (i cried for 15 minutes the other day bc my fiancé drew a house and i thought it was cute) but one of my favorite pregnant funny things is ALWAYS forgetting my belly is huge and hitting it on things 😭😭 just now i opened my…

5Dpo… the dreaded 2WW. Got all my fingers and toes crossed for this month.

I feel like I do then I don’t 😂 this app has been telling me on 5 different tests a visible line but I just don’t see it. Anyone else had this? I’m due on tomorrow. I’ll add more pics in comments

It came up with in the time frame?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant with a girl and my sugar cravings are ridiculous. I am eating far too much sugar for my liking (having previously been a savoury person!) and I’ve got my GD test on 19th August. I’m worried I’m ding harm to my baby 😫

Hi what usually happens at the 25 week appointment? Last time I was in they did the doppler and I had to go to pregnancy assessment at hospital cos they couldn't pick up her heartbeat. Everything was fine but just stressing. Xxx

Done a test this morning, I’m sure I can see the faintest of lines but partner said he can’t see anything

Go back in time, what comfort items did you love in your early pregnancy?? I'm wanting to put together a care package for a mom who's newly pregnant. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ . . . . . . . . . . . She's suffered quite a few losses, has recently married and they both went through fertility testing to find that they'...

Has anyone given this a go yet? I had to get my partner to do it cuz I physically can’t reach, but how I know if we are doing it properly? There is a lot of conflicting information online about how often to do it. Does anyone have a tips, I’d be very grateful..

It came back as 143mg/dL , normal is 140mg/dL. Any idea what are next steps ? Feeling nervous

I seriously dislike my Prenatals, I can no longer take them anymore 🤮
