When and how did everybody make their announcement?
We haven’t told anybody yet- just waiting for a little scan photo but would love to hear the fun and interesting ways you ladies have told family and friends ❤️

We told immediate family and friends pretty quick but waited until the anatomy scan photos and that she was all good before a public one just because we had a previous loss right at the end of 2025. Still was super fun even though only a handful of folks knew before a couple weeks ago :)

I told a couple family members that were showing up for Christmas. I was so sick there was no hiding it. That was about 7-8 weeks. We announced to extended family at the beginning of the second trimester. Public (aka social media friends) was around week 20.

No med vs meds

First pregnancy I had epi, gas and air.

I'm thinking this time to go natural just to see what it's like. But I'm unsure. How painful is it without meds?

What are you doing?

I am massive.

2nd pregnancy and I’m the size I was at 37 weeks at 27 weeks, gastro reflux is threw the roof and now finally on prescribed medication. Waddling, struggling to bend down and I feel the level of discomfort I felt in 1st pregnancy in the last week. Obvs still working a full time job and looking after a toddler so my energy levels are none exist and not really able to eat due to the gastro reflux. How is this sustainable for 13 more weeks 🙁😔

Anyone else the same ?

3 hour Glucose Test

Failed my first glucose test and am currently 1 hour into my 3 hour test now 😭😭 I did NOT know they take my blood every hour. I'm so tired from my toddler having a bad sleep and feel so nauseas from not eating I can't even be productive with school while I wait.
Tips for surving the next 2 hours 😅😅

Pregnancy pillows

Does anyone have a recommendation of a pregnancy pillow they’ve used previously that they absolutely loved?

I had one in my last pregnancy but gave it away and they don’t seem to make that kind anymore!

Thanks!

NIPT test

How do you guys feel about the NIPT test? I’m a bit uneasy due to hearing all the stories on TikTok about not accurate results. Anyone uneasy about this but still went through with it?

Forgotten about test

I never use the Walmart brand test and it’s still early for me (earliest day I can use) my friends have raved about these. Well I took one and walked away and forgot about it. It’s been about 5 hours later and I see this line… do these tests get bad lines like this or would it be worth buying another test??? Don’t mind my nail indent lol looking at this at 2 am and couldn’t believe my eyes.
