23w this Sunday and baby emotions are very high. Being high risk, every week going to the doctors for heart monitoring checks has been an up and down feeling. This has been one for the books for sure.
I’ve been feeling baby more and more 4 mnths left and god willing I’ll be meeting my baby girl 🥲🩷

Weigh ins

Has anyone else been weighed as part of their midwife appointments?

I saw a different midwife as mine was on leave and she noted that I hadn’t been weighed since my first appointment (currently 34 weeks). I didn’t think anything of it. This is my second pregnancy and I’m well aware my body likes to pile on the weight, I’m not concerned as this happened with my first. So when she noted I’d put on 18kg she then went on a complete spiral about GD even though I had no other triggers. (I was a size 8 before — so it’s not like a little weight would do me harm)
Also I actually put on much more weight in my first pregnancy.

After looking into, the NICE guidelines say that they shouldn’t do routine weigh ins as there are too many factors and it doesn’t mean much on its own.

Has anyone else had a weigh in trigger a risk factor — it didn’t help the midwife was the GD specialist at the hospital

Would you be offended?

So my MIL offered to pay for me to have the weight loss jab! Bear in mind I’m 5 weeks pp and I haven’t mentioned to her about even wanting to loose weight!

The conversation came up because she offered to pay for it for my partner and then she bought me into the conversation too! Like I was a size 8 before I had my two children and I’m now probably more of a 14 and I will loose weight when I’m ready but just in no rush but now I feel like maybe I should just start now! Like I must be massive! She also before hand said I looked like I had lost weight in my face🫠

Would anyone else be offended or am I just overthinking it?

When did you get out and about?

2.5 weeks pp and I feel like the days are merging into one atm..we’ve done a few walks and popping to local shops but no car journeys yet. When did everyone get out with their newborns after birth?

I just need someone to tell!

I found out I was pregnant 2 days ago with my third baby! This is my rainbow baby as I lost one before this. Gonna keep it a secret from everyone (except my husband) for as long as possible! But I just needed to tell someone, so I’m telling whoever is reading this. 🤣 my estimated due date is June 19th, which will be interesting because my second son was born June 18th. 😅

Nervous wreck😩

I tested positive for GBS recently at my GP, first time hearing of it, turns out I might of had it a while as it’s been effecting my mobility possibly even before my pregnancy as I was having trouble with my legs which physio couldn’t diagnose and has only spread since to my back. I messaged my midwife to update her and ask about it, all she did was send me a very scary leaflet with no message, which upon reading has only made me depressed and anxious for my babies wellbeing. I’m trying to be positive but I’ve never had much luck in life so I’m just constantly worried and I feel like I’m grieving something that isn’t even certain yet but I feel so guilty that I may possibly harm my baby. Is anyone else feeling the same or do I just sound like a complete nut job? Any advice, information, experiences shared would be greatly appreciated 🤍
