Baby #2

Hi mamas! Just took a test Friday and found I am pregnant with baby number 2. I forgot how stressful the first trimester can be before the first OB appointment.
How is everyone handling the nerves and fears?

30 weeks pregnant and sick of “fat” related comments

Hi everyone,

I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I somehow looked very pregnant from the get go. I’ve had HG and was losing weight the first 6 weeks, was in an out of hospital and to survive, I was eating bread and crackers every 10 minutes or so. As a result, I’ve gained 23kgs so far. I get comments like “you must ready to pop, are you sure you’re not having twins?”. Today, my butcher told me to “watch my weight as I’m getting quite big”. Even my own mother has told me to “watch my weight and to try and lose weight” which is dangerous. I gained 30kgs with my first and lost it all which took a year so I know this is routine for me but the comments are really upsetting and getting me down.

Another heatwave in the UK 😫

I'm usually a sun worshipper but I'm so over all these heatwaves and at almost 37 weeks pregnant is all becoming a bit relentless now. Back up to the high 30's this week and I'm absolutely dreading it. I've found this summer super hard being pregnant with a 1 year old. How have you all been finding it ?

Heart rate @ 6 weeks+2

Hey girlies would you say a heart rate of 137bpm is too high for 6 weeks or is that a very reassuring heart rate 🩵🥹

Wondfo evaps?

Do wondfo tests tend to have evaps?
I’ve never used them before
Feel like I see something on both wet and dry tests but cleared on the dry one, don’t want to get my hopes up if it’s common

Has anyone with gestational diabetes purchased a cgm monitor instead of doing the finger prick test?

I’m terrified of needles and don’t think I can do the finger prick test 4 times per day.

If so can anyone recommend one and roughly how much it cost for the device and items to maintain?

Thanks!
