Anxiety’s going wild now..

For more context I’m 27 weeks today Thursday the 26th March! I went into Maternity assessment on Monday just gone as I was just worried about little man’s movements after being there on the monitor it went green, they did a quick scan said he seemed fine and they could see the waters were good etc! Anyways I had given them a urine sample and I’ve now had the results back saying I’ve got a uti and then something else saying group b strep? I’m now laid in bed worrying my head off, they have told me to collect some antibiotics today but I’ve got my glucose test currently fasting I go into the midwife’s at 8:40 will it be fine to collect after that and I guess I’m just sat thinking is everything gonna be okay? Sorry my minds just going everywhere at the minute

Hi! Midwife here! Group b strep is a bacteria we all have in our system (normally in our intestines), the only difference is that some women get a “transportation” of this bacteria to their vaginas during pregnancy and that means you’ll need to take some antibiotics in order for your baby to avoid getting the bacteria on their mouths during birth because that can cause some complications. It’s as easy as taking some antibiotics during birth (at least that’s how we manage that in Spain, unless it causes a UTI, in that case, we treat the UTI and also give some antibiotics during birth).
It’s nothing major, really, it’s very common.
Do not think too much about it, since there’s nothing you can do other than taking care of the UTI and wait till birth :)

I'm also similar weeks to you and been stressing out last night. But they've detected the uti early which is good and as soon as your on antibiotics it should be fine. I was also put on antibiotics. If they state its nothing much to worry about then honestly try not to stress even though it may seem worrying. X

Advice please!! Trying to conceive baby #2

Got pregnant with my first baby as soon as we started trying. We have been trying to get pregnant again since April and no luck. Any advice would be appreciated!! I will add that I do not have regular periods. They can go 35- 45 days in between.

We really want to get pregnant in the next month so any tips and tricks please share!!

Baby boy can officially come any day now

I had my dr appointment today everything looks great his heart beat is good and dr said that if he decided to come early that I am in that stage of pregnancy that they wouldn’t stop the labor they would continue to let me be in labor I am so excited

Advice needed

Hey everyone. Im currently 36+6 with my first and I have a planned c section booked for 20/10. This evening I've suddenly started experiencing overwhelming nausea and an upset stomach. When I googled my symptoms, it stated that it can indicate that labour will start soon - which terrifies me. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm particularly worried about going into labour as I'm completely alone and have no one to hepp me at the moment.

Unity NIPT Timeframe

I'm in Florida waiting for my test to get to the lab. Nervous because for some reason my doctor's office deleted the appointment from the records where my nipt test was taken. How long did it take (especially if you had yours done on a Friday) to get the confirmation text from Unity that your sample was received?

Also, did they put it in the same profile as your last pregnancy?

Pretty sure my doctor never marked me "present" for my appointment so it just dissappeared. It was only supposed to be a dating ultrasound but since they said I was 10-11 weeks I needed blood work. They never even gave me a confirmed due date. 🫠

Anyone else due 1st Oct and still pregnant?

Patience has left the building at this point!

Struggling to eat

I’m 28w 3d and since about 26 weeks I’ve been losing my appetite. I have extreme fatigue and can’t sleep at night, sleep all day and have no motivation to eat. I usually don’t even get hungry and struggle to eat even just one meal a day. I had an increase in appetite at 24 weeks but that came with nausea. Simply getting up to get something to eat I get Braxton hicks and get uncomfortable for hours after eating.
Before I got pregnant I’d regularly skip days of eating again because I was just tired but I’ve made real efforts during my pregnancy and the hunger was real during first trimester.
I’ve maintained gaining a pound a week so far in my pregnancy, even gaining back what I lost during first trimester.
I don’t know if it’s normal or stress related but my family is stressing about it and constantly telling me I’m starving my baby, but I’m just not hungry.
What can I do to help increase appetite or fit in extra calories without eating but still getting enough nutrients?
