Pelvic Pain

I started having really bad pelvic pain that wouldn’t go away at 3:00 am this morning so we decided to head to labor and delivery. They tested me for a yeast infection and UTI, but all came back normal. They did a cervix check and said I’m dilated to a 1 but said to just watch and keep an eye on it and if I get contractions that keep coming to come back in. I’m still having some pelvic pressure tho and I hope it goes away soon. I had my first child at 34 weeks due to preeclampsia and I’m currently 34 weeks so I’m starting to get nervous! Let hope she stays in longer!

First timer

Hey everyone. I’m in my 30s, abroad in Germany, just got married, and 9 weeks pregnant with my first.

Honestly this first trimester has been a lot for me. Early scares, anxiety through the roof, barely eating, doing most of it solo while my husband is on missions or emotionally unavailable. Finally got a strong heartbeat confirmed last week 😮‍💨

Just looking for my people. Other first time moms, military moms, anyone who’s navigating the reality of pregnancy abroad.

Pregnant… baby no2

I’ve just took a test and it’s a clear as day plus!!! My baby is 8 months old🥹 couldn’t stop crying when I took it! Makes so much sense now but really need a sit down with my partner and also to know I’m not alone. My sister in law is pregnant with baby no2 and the age gap will be about 18 months. Waiting to take a digital test too. Just feel weird🥹

Pregnancy pillows

Hello, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow? It’s one to lie back on when I’m in bed. I’m so sick of all the big pillows I have in bed that take ages to set up and are not comfy x

12 weeks til due date and omg panic has set in 😳

To think we have 6 weeks of the summer holiday then at the end of the 6 weeks, we have only 6 weeks left is crazy! The first 10 weeks of my pregnancy went so quickly so it feels like those last 12 weeks are gonna go fast!! I haven’t even got anything yet apart from the odd bits of clothing and my first’s neural clothes from when she was a baby!
