Second pregnancy

Is anyone else now pregnant and for some reason completely forgotten about the symptoms and over thinking things?

Despite my first being Dec 2023, I am really panicking in this 1st trimester. Every twinge i worry , checking things out. I don't remember being like this first time round. I remember things settling at 16 weeks onwards.

This time though I feel like I am over thinking and I don't feel like it's normal?

Slightly stressing

I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and after my most recent blood test I’ve been put onto aspirin due to a risk of pre-eclampsia (1 in 103) and risk of fetal growth restriction (1 in 118) . They didn’t really explain it much and just told me I have to go on aspirin and it’s really scared me.

Possible Preeclampsia -HELP

I am now 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing high BP(I check it 3x a day and it fluctuates between high 130-140’s), am lightheaded, dizzy, and have super bad upper abdominal pain near the center/right side of my belly. It is tender to the touch and feels like a constant burning/stabbing pain(it is NOT the baby kicking). Has anyone who has had preeclampsia let me know if this is concerning? I’ve called my OB 3x now and all she keeps telling me is to go to L&D if I’m that concerned otherwise she’d see me at my next appt 😕 I don’t want to go to L&D and take up a bed if these are just normal pregnancy symptoms but this feels far from normal & I do think something is wrong, even if it’s not preeclampsia!

Hey mamas 😊👋

Have y’all started shopping for your baby yet? Do y’all think it’s too soon?

When did everyone start telling people they were pregnant?

I’m really tempted to tell our parents and a couple of close friends after our early scan, but part of me feels like I should wait until 12 weeks.

Is it unusual to tell people that early, or do most people tell their parents/closest friends quite soon? I know there’s no “right” time, I’m just curious what other people did because keeping it quiet already feels so hard 😂

Sertraline during pregnancy ?

Hey all 👋 just trying to get others advice around sertraline. I was put on it from a young age like 5-8 years ago . Didn't take responsibility took them on and off ( was a typical teen )
But my gp has recommend I go back on them now. I've had to stop taking my regular melatonin , antidepressants and anti anxiety due to not being safe for baby. And apparently sertraline is the next best thing that could help ?! Anyone got any advice , personal experiences, negatives.
Help me navigate 🤍🤍
