Did you think genetic testing was worth it?

Hi mamas 🤍 First-time mom here!

Absolutely! It gave me an early gender and with my first i learned my son has kleinefelters so I was able to research it even before he was born. I would want to know if there was something wrong, when the results come back normal it gives you so much peace of mind for the rest of the pregnancy

Definitely

Yes it is. Especially if you plan on having alot of kids with the same person. For us it was a peace of mind for common things like sickle cell etc.

Definitely. I had one quite late in the pregnancy because her head was very small. I wanted to know if there was something to worry about and I wanted all of my options available to me. Unfortunately she was then born premature before I could get the results!!! Luckily when we did finally get them she didn't have any genetic disorders but did find out that myself and now my daughter are carriers of muscular dystrophy. If I have a boy in the future there's a 50% chance he would present with it, which is a lot so I am so glad I know this and can plan for the future

Paranoid lol

As I get closer to due date obviously i'm getting more nervous as a ftm, but I had a midwife app today and didn't have my usual lady. The one I had today has made me feel worse lol and tried to tell me, not suggest, to not use prep machines and asked why I'm leaning more towards bottle feed and if I've even spoke to anyone about breastfeeding and if I've bothered to attend any classes for anything. It was the way she said it

Then when feeling my stomach she says she's not sure if the baby is head down. I mentioned in my last appointment they said he was. She continued to feel and said feels like the head is up top but then just moved on and didn't mention it again 😩

Now I'm feeling even worse and wondering what to do

Babies!

Has anyone had or due to have their baby in the next week or so? It’s getting close now so interested to know how people are doing! I’ve seen a few people say that they were due right at the start but due c sections or inductions towards the end of April! Or baby could have come early of course!

Going for a number 2 feels different?

I'm almost 2 weeks PP and ever since I've given birth, the feeling I get when I need a number 2 feels completely different? Has anyone one else experienced this? It's so strange 😂

Any plus size mums?

I'm plus sized and was due to have a C-section today as baby was breech, they did a quick scan and baby was head down so they cancelled my section and said it was best as I have an apron belly and it would make an increased risk of infection on the scar.

I asked for possible induction but they again refused to me having a high BMI and an increased risk of bleeding as I'm on blood thinners. Even asked for the balloon but consultant said no to that too :(

I just feel really disheartened about it all, I was so ready to go meet my baby this morning we got up at 5am to be at the hospital for 6.30 but now I'm back to square one.

Midwife gave me a stretch and sweep, said I'm 2cm but it literally just made me bleed a little and have a few little cramps :( but nothing since :(

I just want my baby here 😭

Third Trimester Acne

Hii ! so I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant, and my acne has gotten the worse it’s been since middle school. 😂 Has anyone noticed this to be true for them, and what have you been using or doing to keep it at bay? I eat pretty healthy, and limit my sugar intake. My baby shower is coming up in 2 weeks and I feel so insecure about it. 😭 #help
