Anyone feel like people get resentful when you get pregnant?

So I’m only just over 4 weeks but I’m trying to keep it a secret for as long as possible. This is my 2nd pregnancy but 3rd child as I had twins last time.

Last pregnancy we had some negative comments from people who I know were just projecting and probably hurting in ways but honestly this time I just don’t wanna hear it 😅 it’s a shame people can’t always be happy for others but I guess that’s not how it works 🥹

If you’ve not been through infertility it’s very easy to say this. I was always happy for others but found it very difficult to be around anyone pregnant after two losses and years of waiting. Finally I now have my baby. But honestly I can’t explain to you the heartache I felt, the guilt k felt not being able to carry a baby without a miscarriage; the shame I felt for not being able to do what women “should be able to do” x

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.

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

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 ?

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!
