My anxiety has become very severe in this pregnancy. Like you I didn’t experience being this worried in my previous pregnancy. It’s got to the point I’ve had to have counselling as it was affecting me leaving the house, is this something that’s possible for you?x

Check out the tokophobia support group on Facebook 💕 I had it really bad

I'm also on my second pregnancy (technically third but the first one ended in chemical pregnancy) and I've also noticed my anxiety this time around is higher. I had a bit of anxiety when I was pregnant with my daughter just because of the loss we experience but this time around is definitely worse. Right from the start I just had a feeling something was off and that feeling has stuck around even after I've been told everything is fine at all my appointments so far. I don't really have any advice but just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

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)

I’m so over this pregnancy! I don’t think my body is keeping up anymore! I’ve really struggled the entirety of this pregnancy but the past week has suddenly got ALOT worse to the point my husbands begging me to call triage when I know full well they won’t be able to do anything 🤦🏼‍♀️ apparently I look like death 24/7 😅
Someone send help!

Weight and glucose test

Just a question if you are on the bigger side are you more likely to fail your test? I was 170 with my first and passed it no problem I’m currently 215 and due to take it in about three weeks kinda nervous about failing it however I actually feel so much better this pregnancy then my first like I feel so much better and healthier this time

belly button ‘bruise’? (30+ weeks pregnant only)

wondering if the little bruise-looking patch above my (now outie!) bellybutton is common or just because it was pierced before? i didn’t really start showing until i was about 24 weeks pregnant so didn’t take it out til then, had the little bruise since 30 weeks ish?
for reference i’m talking about the pinkish brown part between the two stretched af holes
