Gaining a lot of weight In first trimester

I’m 9 and a bit weeks but I’ve noticed I have gained a lot of weight recently since conceiving. Mainly due to the nausea and sickness I feel like I need to keep eating to feel better. And also I eat mainly carbs whereas my previous diet was always as little carbs as possible as I have pcos and don’t process them very well . I’ve gained 8kgs and I’m really worried and shocked. My midwife didn’t think much of it but I don’t know if this is okay and how I can manage it better. I’ve just been trying to survive, it’s been really tough. Anyone else been through anything similar ?

I’m pregnant!

Hi all,

Just found out I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant after a C-section 8 months ago. If you couldn’t guess, I am nervous.

The one time we have sex without a condom (a moment of passion by me trying to feel desired again) and I bloody get pregnant! It took 2 years to conceive my first so I wasn’t expecting this at all. Obviously I know that having sex can lead to this😂 it’s just crazy the only time without a condom😭

I think I’m just looking for reassurance from mums who have gotten pregnant before the recommended wait time.

Am I crazy for feeling worried, scared and happy and not happy all at the same time?

Baby number 2!

Morning girlies🥰 I have just found out I’m pregnant again! Very early of course!
My anxiety is through the roof! My first pregnancy wasn’t very nice as I suffered with hypermesis gravidarium for the whole 9 months☹️
I’m really hoping this time will be different but I am so so scared! Anything anyone can say to help calm my nerves😅❤️

Time going fast

Does anyone else feel like time is literally going sooo fast! I guess because im busier with my daughter but i just cant believe im nearly 34 weeks already its crazy

High Blood Pressure

Has anyone been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure early in their pregnancy (before 20 weeks), not ended up with Pre Eclampsia and had a stress free birth? My 1st pregnancy went smoothly but I didnt end up having the waterbirth that I wanted. I was hoping we would be able to skip the labour ward this time and use the midwife led Birthing Centre instead. My BP is currenrly too high and they want me to have growth scans every 3 weeks once im over 23 weeks.

Second baby

Anyone else pregnant with second baby yet?
