Anyone else finding first trimester quite lonely?

I'm about 10 weeks now and from the outside theres no real visible change, but the mood swings and nausea are really getting to me. Its hard to share this with people when in general you are encouraged to keep it hush hush in the first trimester. Its so much change to navigate alone

I’m 6 weeks 5 days and I’ve told pretty much everyone in my circle - I know 12 weeks is recommended and that anything could happen, but I’m too much of an open book 🤍 I would definitely be feeling lonely though if I didn’t mention it

It is so hard! And I felt this too when I went through pregnancy but I learnt that there’s always a milestone to get to if that makes sense…

12weeks safe zone?

20 weeks is the anatomy all okay?

24 weeks of I give birth they will be viable….

38 weeks of they are born now they possibly won’t need oxygen….

There’s so many stages of pregnancy I learned that it’s best to be open about it don’t feel like you need to keep it hush hush just because your early anything can happen at anytime⭐️

Be open and talk about it! I wish I did 🥰 my inbox is always open x

Overwhelmed and anxious at 38weeks

Hey, I’m 38+1 and so overwhelmed with everything and feeling slightly apprehensive now. I’m due 16th Aug, however I am measuring small, according to midwife and scans. I’ve had to go in for extra growth scans and there was talk about inducing me due to reduced movement however I am not yet ready for baby so I put it off last week. Things seemed to have evened out now, and baby was measuring 5lbs7 at my last growth. I still haven’t packed my hospital bag or baby’s bag, and I have no idea where to even begin or which bag to bring. I held off washing baby clothes due to a malfunctioning new wardrobe and I didn’t want to wash with nowhere to store clothes etc. I’ve finally started washing things now and placing clothes in storage boxes for now till I sort the wardrobe out, but I’m worried at my next scan (tomorrow) they might want to start things off. My midwife keeps saying we’ll do the birth plan but we haven’t yet, I’m not sleeping at night and have terrible heartburn :( also I want to try breastfeed this time round and unsure whether to take my breast pump into hospital with me.. any advice please. Thanks

NIPT

Anyone in Australia, have the NIPT test? Can you tell me about it? Is it a blood test? How long until you get the results? When can you get it done?
