Have you told your partner or anyone else that you’re pregnant? I’m currently 4+2 and yet to tell anyone (apart from GP) currently thinking of ideas!

My doctor told my partner at the same time she told me! Went in for heart palpitations and came out pregnant 😂 we tied our 12 week scan to the Christmas tree when putting decorations up to announce!!

😂 brilliant…not so much about the heart palpitations though! Oh wow, I love that idea, I might use this for some family members as hoping to announce near Christmas time! x

I told my partner about half an hour after testing I just sat there and showed him the test as I was basically speechless and also quite anxious (first pregnancy not necessarily planned, although not prevented ;) lol) he was pleased though! It certainly wasn't how I imagined telling him but I was just too nervous🤣
I plan on telling my family by putting my 1 year old nephew into a t shirt sporting something like "promoted to cousin" and just waiting for their reactions. You could just turn up wearing a t shirt yourself. Google "pregnancy announcement shirts" - some are quite amusing!
We would like to surprise my partners mum with a little gift/keepsake.

😂 oh bless him, he was just too excited and couldn’t wait! x

My partner found out the same time as I did, I didn't keep it from him and just told a few close family members and friends, nothing special but wanted to tell them sooner x

I told my mother in law last sunday she was doing her family tree on her laptop and gave her the pregnancy test and said you will need to add to it. And she cried if i had a camera to capture that moment was so lovely

Avatar

😂 that is just too funny!! Hope he knows what it means now!! x

I’ll be doing the same with my parents and partner this week too! x

Avatar

Just looking for some advice

Ive been in and out of hospital for the past week or so, with swelling, flashing lights, ongoing headache, and a high bp that wont lower. I was put on bp tablets which they have now doubled my dosage.
Im 36 weeks and i feel as if the hospital isnt doing a lot to help, theyve booked me a scan and given me medication, but considering theyre questioning preeclampsia i feel like not much else is being done.
Does anyone have any advice on what i should do, or has anyone else been through a similar situation and it turned out to be fine? Im a first time mum and im not really sure what i should be expecting

Appetite

Is anyone else really struggling with food in the 3rd trimester? I’m 31 weeks and I either don’t feel hungry at all or I’ll be starving and make something then when I start eating I’m full after a couple of bites. It’s so frustrating. I’ve also been getting heartburn even though I take omeprazole. Eating gaviscon double action like they’re going out of fashion🤣

Am I a bad mom?

I was taking my daughter out of her highchair. I took the table off and my mom asked me something so I turned my head and my baby slipped out of the highchair😭 she seems fine but I'm freaking out. Do I still take her to the doctor? There's no marks and she only cried for 10 sec but I'm having a panic attack
