Is it fair to assume a doctor will go over every single little thing that could happen in and after pregnancy? Did your doc/nurse/midwife do that?

Saw a tt where this girl was saying doctors should warn about something that happened to her. Someone commented that, while yes if theres any reason for concern then a doctor should talk to you about it. But they aren't going to sit there and lost off every little thing that could potentially happen even if you have a 100% healthy pregnancy. Which I think it fair, but people in the comments aren't happy. And some people were saying that their midwife did that and I'm like, i don't understand how or why? If they're genuinely going over every little thing that could happen, it's a long list. Plus i feel like that causes a lot of unnecessary anxiety for a lot of people. Ive also never had a doctor do that. Again, obviously if there's any small reason to suspect something then they should but outside of that i just don't see that happening. It's like when you go in for a surgery, yes they say there are risks but they don't list out every thing that could happen.

I’ve had enough

Girls, I’ve had enooooughhhh of being pregnant 😂

Due in 10 days so I could still go 2+ weeks. I also have a 1 year old so I feel like I’ve been pregnant for 3 years.

I know there’s literally nothing I can do but I’m just feeling really sorry for myself today 😂

Evap?

I am really struggling with line eyes! I’ve done 5 easy at home tests today because everyone had a white evap looking line and a clear line if I shine a torch behind them. Then I took two Tesco tests and both I couldn’t tell if they had a line but noticed after looking back at them they both seem to have a line (pictured). I don’t know if they appeared in the time frame or have colour to them. I’m really impatient to wait 48 hours to test again 🤣

Baby dropped

35 weeks today! Deffo feel like baby’s dropped, last midwife app said she’s head down and my last came at 36 + 6 so we’re trying to be prepared as they said there’s more chance of her coming early!
Hips and back are killing me!
Anyone else dropped?

8 weeks pregnant - upcoming wedding!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant. We have an upcoming wedding in 3 weeks time (so I'll be 11 weeks when we go).

I didn't realise until today.... my abdomen has drastically changed already. I live in scrubs and pyjamas. So, fine, it is what it is. Bloat has hit hard, made me look 6 months pregnant already. Can't change it.

But this is my first time being pregnant. And I'm now a bit self conscious. Every dress in my wardrobe is giving the same effect. And I have no doubt all the others currently on their way to me will too.

Do I just look "fat"? My friend has advised some pregnancy shapewear so I've ordered that. Is that okay? Any other advise? 😫

Side and downward view provided..... (I also have the wrong bra on for this dress - work bra, so I'm not held up right. But that's easily fixed!!). I'm breathing in on the front and side view, downward view is relaxed and you can see how big it is already.

Thank you ladies 💛

Pregnant again!

We are pregnant with our second baby and although I really want a second baby, mostly for our first baby, I am freaking out. We’ve just hit a sweet spot at 23 months and we’ll be starting over again in 9 months. I thought I’d be more excited but I’m stressed! And my husband feels worried that our relationship will struggle which worries me too.

Just need to get it off my chest and would love to hear from anyone with two or who’s just found out they are pregnant.

Is it fair to assume a doctor will go over every single little thing that *could* happen in and after pregnancy? Did your doc/nurse/midwife do that?
