First appointment alone…

So this morning I went to hear my baby’s heartbeat, and it was my first time going to an appointment without my bd, said he wasn’t going the last time we had an argument and i’ll be honest when I say sitting in the doctors office made me feel so alone and i felt so sad, i give props and salute all the mamas who have to experience that feeling frequently, yall are so strong

Have been going though this from the day one of my pregnancy as he left me after getting news, but some people resdy to give their all to have the feeling of becoming a mommy, its hard i know but be proud of yourself, your baby will be proud of you too. Men come and go, chldren are forever and their love too ❤️

I have a very supportive partner, but he wasn’t able to go to any of the appointments either and I relate to the feeling of being alone and going through it alone. Our son is one now and it’s gotten a lot better. I hope the best for you mama

I went to all my appointments alone for my first 2 babies and the feeling is overbearing. I hated thinking about it because it just made me wanna cry.

I'm married, currently in my third pregnancy.
Unfortunately it is life, and in an ideal world we wouldn't be alone during these appointments. But it's also normal to not be. Just because you may see some couples in the waiting room all happy and whatever, doesn't mean that you don't have that.
I'm married and still do my appointments alone, life is busy. I'll also have to birth alone.
But let me tell you something, being a mum makes you so strong!

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?

1st trimester support

So does anyone talk about how rough the 1st trimester emotional waves are? 🥹🥺
