Body hair

Does anyone else suffer with extra body hair from being pregnant. I’m 15 weeks and notice I’m getting dark hair on my face and back which grows back quite quickly after removing it. I find it a bit embarrassing so I wonder if there were any tips on removing it ?

Collecting colostrum

Hi everyone! Has anyone started collecting colostrum? I'm 38 weeks and really not sure when to start. I'm going to be having my second baby and have gd (gestational diabetes) Have any of you actually collected and went into labor? Tia!

I’m 37weeks 3 days and 3/5 engaged.

Will labour start soon?

Has anyone lost any weight during first trimester

I’ve lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks because of my nausea and food aversions made me worry but I’m hoping once the symptoms ease things will be okay after first trimester

Anyone else dealing with negativity from friends? And symptoms that seemed to have gotten slightly better that your worried if everything is still ok?

Apologies first of all for the long post! First pregnancy currently 8w 4d.
33 years old

I told some friends about my pregnancy and some close colleague’s who I know will support me and look after me at work if I have a day I feel rough etc . I told my colleagues that I have been extremely bloated by the end of the day and after dinner and two of them (in their late 40’s and mid 50’s) both came back with lots of negative comments saying “I shouldn’t be bloated this early on”, “most people wouldn’t even know they were pregnant this early” “with both of my pregnancy’s I was never bloated in the first trimester and definitely not with a first pregnancy as your body doesn’t know what it’s doing”
I felt a bit upset and a bit on the defence as both of their last pregnancy’s were 14 and 15 years ago and I felt like they were telling me how to feel and how to not feel and what I was experiencing wasn’t normal?

I’ve got my first midwife appointment early next week that I am nervously excited for! I’ve been having nausea late at night or waking me up early hours every other night but haven’t actually been sick.
Couldn’t bare the smell of salmon that I was about to cook the other night and had me gagging for half an hour, my partner had to get rid of it in the end. The first 4-7 weeks I had very sore breasts and enlarged nipples until the last week they don’t feel as heavy/painful.
Have been very tired and bloated by the end of the day and having a nap after work.
Isit normal to have symptom changes around 8weeks? I’m so worried that I’ve now told a few people, my symptoms have changed and what if something has gone wrong? 😔

Also had a scan at 6w & 2d by a gynaecologist just to confirm all was ok and dr said she could see the heart beating 💕

Congrats to all future Mumma’s can’t wait to hear all your story’s 🥰
