What a rotten ride I’ve had so far! They kept saying wait until 12 weeks then everything will be great. 18 weeks and still waiting for things to be great!
Pregnancy glow for me is actually the sheer amount of sweat produced during a vomiting episode, the rosy cheeks are an impressive collection of burst blood vessels from said vomiting, and the radiant appearance is probably just the light reflecting off my clammy forehead. ✨🤣🤣

I am LITERALLY in the same boat as you! 😂 I am also 18 weeks as of today and I thought the sickness went for like a week until it’s come back the constant fatigue nausea feeling ill all the time and no appetite! And not to mention the sore boobs (mainly my left one!) honestly whoever tells you it gets easier lied to us or just had a really good pregnancy but this is really showing me that everyone’s pregnancy is completely different!!!
Hope you’re okay mama ❤️ xx
My baby boy was born 2 weeks ago and I could not be happier! Just sharing out of excitement.

Literally bawling my eyes out. I've been so caught up in everything that I just realized that even though we told every nurse that I wanted to keep her clamp with her umbilical cord they threw it away. I told them they could have my placenta and whatever I didn't care but I wanted that clamp. My heart hurts so bad. I've been crying for hours.

Is anyone else feeling emotional/mental pressure now that their due date is lingering?
I’m due on Friday and really didn’t anticipate the guilt I’d feel when I hear family/friends say things like “oh come on baby where are you?!”, always with an air of exasperation 😕
Like I’m sorry that I’m not producing your child/grandchild/child’s play mate any quicker but these people think THEY’RE exhausted with waiting?
I can’t believe how much this is bugging me but it’s a weird pressure that I really didn’t expect 😣

Has anyone had their combined screening test results through? Just curious how long it took for the results to show on your badger app? x

Had major bloating, big boobs, severe nausea last week and now nothing. Took a test this morning trying to get a 3+ and still only got 2-3 but my line tests are dark but not as dark as the test line. I can’t help but feel impending doom even though I know this happens and is normal for symptoms to fluctuate as this is my second pregnancy but the anxiety still isn’t any bloody better. 5+5 today, is anyone else the same?
