Early Gender Blood Test

Next week I’m having the SneakPeek gender test with Window to the Womb at 7 weeks pregnant. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done it — was your result accurate?

Gestational Hypertension

Has anyone been diagnosed during pregnancy? Would you mind sharing at what week it was present and how it played out?

Went for my first scan today. 10 weeks pregnant with baby #3. Never had blood pressure issues. They rechecked 4 times and each time 125/90. Midwife said we will pause any conversation about it until my next appt if it's present again at that time. A fun Google search has made me realize I might be in for a wild pregnancy if this is going to be my journey 🫠🥴

Is anyone else feeling self-conscious about how their private area looks before giving birth? 🙈

I'm due very soon and I've been feeling quite embarrassed. I have some bumps/scars in my pubic area and heat rash around my groin and it's making me anxious about labour. I keep thinking that so many people will be looking down there and silently judging me. I'm even worried my husband might feel embarrassed too.

I know it probably sounds silly, but I can't stop thinking about it. Has anyone else felt like this? Did you have skin issues, scars, bumps, or anything else that made you self-conscious? How did you get through it, and did anyone actually make you feel judged?

I'd really appreciate some reassurance because I feel so alone with these thoughts. 🤍 ❤️

Did anyone else get the NIPT test? How long did it take for you to get results back?

Anyone else booked in for a glucose test?

Didn’t have one with my first so a bit nervous about this. And not sure what to expect. Been told I can’t eat after 10pm the night before until after the test is done and only water is allowed!

Was weight gain more of an issue for each subsequent pregnancy?

If so, mind commenting below how it went and maybe even weight loss journey afterwards?

9 weeks and 15lbs so far. As of today my BMI is 25. I never gained weight in my first trimester with other pregnancies so I'm shook 😪
