Pregnancy just causes changes in skin due to hormones. It's the same as the linea nigra, the line down your navel. Just increased melanin. In darker women, it appears more brown, so it may just look a little surprising to you on your body.

How accurate has nub theory been?

For those of you who have now found out the gender, how accurate has nub theory guesses been for you? And did any of you use ChatGPT?

My nub theory is saying girl, but my partner is leaning team green (find out on day of delivery as this is our last baby, and last chance of that kinda surprise😊). Team green sounds great in theory, but not knowing is killing me😂

Please tell me I'm being dumb 🤣

I'm due my baby in 4 days but I'm getting a feeling she'll come tomorrow (April 1st).

My sister was also born April 1st and got made fun of a few times for being born on April Fools Day. Kids made jokes like she was a mistake and a joke to be born on that day etc, stupid stuff obviously.

Idk it's just made me really paranoid baby will arrive tomorrow. I keep feeling twinges and getting sore and panicking. Please tell me its a dumb thing to worry about (nicely lmao)

Worries about mat leave

Hi ladies, I’m due to have my first baby in May and am due on mat leave within the next few weeks! I feel so nervous about mat leave as someone who loves routine and my job, has anyone else experienced these worries? I feel like when I try to explain this to people they look at me like I’m a Martian 🫠
