Yes! 7w1d and just vomited my guts up! I’ve had nausea up until now but this was proper sickness. I find my morning sickness hit me around 3/4pm. How are you managing? I’m worried about dehydration so just trying to keep my fluids up 😔

Awww bless you! I had it this morning as soon as I woke up then by mid morning- rest of the day it settled. However just put my little one to bed and it hit me again! 🙈 yes it’s so tricky regarding dehydration. I’m just sipping water as much as I can! Are you managing food?

I’m 6w 1d just experiencing breast tenderness then mild cramping and back ache sometimes
But no nausea

Yes, 7 weeks and this morning I vomited for the first time during this pregnancy. It was so random, I couldn’t stand the smell of my laundry room.
I’m nauseous but also so hungry. Hunger pangs are so real.

Elective c section , but went into labour early

Has anyone had a c section scheduled, but then baby decided to come early? What happened then? Were they still able to do a c section?

How are we getting babies ready to come out?

I’m not usually one to be impatient and I do believe babies come when they’re ready (hence getting to 42+1 in my first pregnany).
However, I have a toddler and had a previous c-section. I’m scared about how continuing to get bigger will affect my scar / possibility of it rupturing.
I am booked for an elective section if baby is not here by next Monday - but I really would prefer a VBAC (for recovery with a toddler)

Did you do anything that you truly think helped bring on labour?

Head at 97th percentile

Hi all,

Had my 28 week scan and baby was measuring 67th percentile overall, but head at 97th percentile.

Freaking out that something is wrong with their brain and have to wait until Thursday for my 32 week growth scan.

Had a loss at 24 weeks last year and don't think I could cope with more bad news :(

Freaking out a bit

I am aware that the fear I am having is irrational but I am seeking similar stories and some re-assurance. I had a private scan which I thought was 9th week, it proved to be 13+3 weeks, despite rushing to book NHS appts, I missed the window for NT check against Down Syndrome. My blood test against the syndrome at 17 weeks came back low risk, my 20 week anomaly scan showed no concerns and everything is fine, including nuchal fold in norm. However, due to the fact I had no NT checked (I realised post private scan that it was just a basic one), I am kinda freaking out as I am 40, already feel guilty that I got my dates so wrong at the start, and the private examiner asked if I planned the blood tests which felt a bit odd. It might have been just a routine question, however it's stuck with me. Any similar stories? With happy ending of course 🙈😅

Gestational Diabetes

Hey! Just been diagnosed with GD, I’m not sure how I feel about it other than trying my best not to overthink! Does anyone have any tips or has anyone else had GD? 🩷
