Is anyone else scared and always sick

I'm really struggling with my pregnancy
Constantly feeling low and tired and sick
I'm worried about being a mum
I can't wait but also scared
I feel like everything is just too much and I feel alone

Anyone else struggling
What helped you?

any other moms or moms to be epileptic?

so i have epilepsy and am currently almost 12 weeks. i was wondering what other moms experiences were with their pregnancy and epilepsy. i’m definitely struggling. my seizures were somewhat controlled before getting pregnant, but i would still have them maybe once a week. since becoming pregnant, i have at least two a day.

Stopping Xonvea

I’m currently 24 weeks and suffer with emetephobia (fear of being sick) so the first trimester was a bit of a nervy one for me 😂 but I’m now looking at tapering off Xonvea as I don’t want to go cold turkey when I give birth, and I’m quite hesitant.

Has anyone got any experience on how they came off their sickness medication and when? 🙏

Can someone explain?

So I passed my glucose test for GD with a 134/140. My doctor wants me to do the 3-hour test and I absolutely don’t want to. I have no prior history of GD, this is my 3rd pregnancy and I’m healthy all around, so is baby. Has anyone else’s doctor wanted them to do the 3-hour test even with passing the 1 hour and having no prior GD history? I left a message for my doctor as to why she feels this is necessary so we can talk through my confusion and get some clarity but is anyone else in a similar boat? Thanks!

Thrush

Has anyone experienced thrush in early pregnancy? Currently waiting for the GP to ring me back to see what treatment is safe but it’s so uncomfortable. I read it’s common given the hormonal changes? x

curiosity

Im just wondering how every one is calculating there little ones age.
So my health visitor is going by weeks and says there isn't always 4 weeks in a month. Is this correct or is people going from the date there little one was born every month?

Bravely joining the group

Hi all. Found out I'm pregnant just a few days ago. Saw this group exists and couldn't resist. I had a missed miscarriage in August so I'm incredibly nervous, but really trying to stay optimistic 🌈🌈🌈

39 weeks on a Saturday - CSection Date

Has anyone turned 39 weeks on a Saturday and had a C-section? When you got your date was it the following Monday?

On a scale of 1-10 how concerned should I be?

I just want to start by saying that I know every pregnancy/delivery/baby is different. That being said, I'm due next month and have been seeing so many mamas due around that same time going into labor and having their babies early. I went over with my first baby and this is my 3rd pregnancy but 2nd baby. I know there's a chance I could have this baby early, though hopefully not too early. I've been told I could be at risk for preterm labor given that I got pregnant pretty close together (my first was only 6 months when I conceived) and I had preeclampsia towards the end of my first pregnancy. All this to say that I'm 33 weeks and have been mostly having Braxton Hicks since the second trimester and have occasionally had a few "real deal" contractions that have definitely made me have to stop and grab onto something or try to catch my breath. No fluid leaks or bleeding or anything like that, just terrible terrible pressure which I didn't start having until around 36 weeks with my first. I've also been super constipated this entire pregnancy, but since having a few more contractions have been pooping like crazy and have here and there had some not so fun diarrhea (which I dealt with right before labor started with my first and throughout my entire induction after being diagnosed with preeclampsia). I just get a bit in my head because I was born early around 35 weeks I'm pretty sure and my husband was born between 31 and 32 weeks and with the risks and the way I'm feeling and also the many mamas I've seen just popping at this point in their pregnancies I'm just not sure I should be worried or not. I do have an appointment lined up in the next couple of days to check things and make sure I'm not dilating or anything like that, but I'm still just so paranoid.

Any guesses

13 weeks and 2 days

Three kids - positive stories?

Pregnant with my 3rd and getting scared, struggle to find positive stories online about having 3. Anyone happy to share?

8 weeks pregnant

I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant, 2nd child. Anybody who’s around 8 weeks and is already showing? Xx

Gave in and tested early

It gives me anxiety relief followed by disappointment but it mentally prepares me for my period❤️‍🩹☹️

Absolutely miserable at only 27 weeks

I am so itchy, like crazy out of my mind itchy and have these weird shooting pains all over my body. I have horrible RLS and absolutely drive myself crazy itching, over thinking and being unable to sleep or relax. It’s really affecting my daily life, my sleep is minimal
, disrupted and laying in bed is almost impossible because my skin feels like it’s crawling. I had Cholestasis my last pregnancy but all my levels keep coming back normal. No meds have helped any symptoms I’m high risk have suffered severe HG and I just don’t know how to go forward hopeful when I am just entering my third trimester and don’t feel like I can keep this up mentally physically and emotionally. Wish there was help but there’s been no relief. 😮‍💨

3 hour glucose ⬇️

if my clinics cut off was 134 for the one hour & I got a 139- do yall think ill pass the 3 hour easily?

Possible preterm labor

Had to visit Labor & Delivery the other night due to a small scare. Turns out, my baby flipped and isnt breech right when I was having braxton hicks, so lots of pain but all is well. That being said, I have noticed a few things that could indicate an earlier ish labor, nothing concerning though.
My wondering is if experiencing these symptoms at 29 weeks means I might go into labor early? Or am I just delusional and wishing that this pregnancy will end sooner than later haha
Do te earlier your labor and 3rd trimester symptoms start, have any relationship to when you actually go into labor?
