Anyone else struggling with acne in their pregnancy? I'm 9 weeks exactly today and I have the skin of a 15 year old currently 😭😂
Also does anyone know any pregnancy safe acne solutions? I know there's a bunch of skincare you can't use while pregnant like retinol, but my skin needs sorting out before my wedding in October 😅😂

Yes :( and they’re huge. I’ve been using mighty patches

I’ve woken up with a few hormonal spots this morning (I’m 8+2) which are a bit annoying!! Hopefully it is better before your wedding… I’m getting married in November too so I’m hoping it’s better by then as well! 🙏

I’ve been using acnecide which is okay for pregnancy and it’s calmed down the big horrible spots
Is anyone else soooo relieved to confidently know their baby is going to have a September birthday and be the oldest in the school year if in England (almost - unless I have a 3 hour labour starting right now 😂)? I have been sooo anxious for the past 2 weeks about going into labour early and my baby having an end of August birthday and being the youngest in the school year. I know you can defer their start date and being the youngest isn’t always the worst thing but I have been a Reception teacher for years and would just much prefer them to be a September baby. Have been holding my breath for weeks as it’s my second and I have had lots of pre labour symptoms but feel like I can finally breath and welcome the birth! (My due date is 2nd Sept)

Anyone else feel like labour is never going to come and they’re just going to be pregnant forever?? I’m sooo done with waiting now 🥲

Anyone had to take the diabetes test twice?
I had mine yesterday and it has come back normal on the app. However I’m having two pluses of glucose in my wee every time it’s tested so I’m wondering whether they will make me do the test again in a few weeks? I will ask my midwife next week but just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat

So we found out that I am pregnant this weekend- as we’ve had 3 MC in a row this year I’m trying to feel as optimistic as I possibly can about the pregnancy. It’s typical that it’s been a bank holiday here in the UK today so I haven’t managed to get hold of my GP, Obstetrician or the EPU to be seen asap.
Hopefully I will get to talk to somebody tomorrow as I’m still waiting on results from my various blood panels.
To those who have gone on to have a successful pregnancy when did you allow yourself to be excited about being pregnant?

I’m 6 months PP. I’m BF. Desire is still pretty low for me, but I’m willing for hubs. When will I stop being so dry & feel like me again? lol I don’t know this body!
