First trimester nightmare

Hey. 2nd pregnancy. I’m 40 and I’m really struggling with lethargy and nausea this trimeters. It’s constant. It’s making me feel quite down. It’s been a month solid now. Has anyone else experienced this?
Xx

Pls Help

The thought of leaving my baby for 1–2 hours to get my hair done is honestly killing me. 😭 She's exclusively breastfed, so I'll make sure to pump and leave enough milk for her, and she'll be staying at my parent’s house.

It's nothing against my parents at all, I trust them. It's just the thought of leaving my baby that's making me feel so anxious. I'm worried she'll want me and I won't be there for her🥺

She's only 3 months old, and we've been together every single day since she was born. Mamas, how did you manage the first time you left your baby? Does it get easier? Is this separation anxiety, or is it just normal for a first time mum?

I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance. 🤍

2nd/3rd pregnancy moms

Did your belly dropped yet? I’m utterly terrified for how fast I dropped for my 3rd.

2 week wait

Back to the wonderful 2 week wait 🫣😢

Question

I just find out what I was having when months do I start buying stuff

Failed glucose

WELP I failed my 1 hr glucose test by 3 points 😭🤣 I wish I studied 😭😭😭😂 going back tomorrow for the 3 hr 😭

NIPT Testing For Gender

So I hear stories of women getting the NIPT blood test and getting told it’s one gender but then turns out at there 20 week ultrasound it’s the other. If you’d got the NIPT test how’d it go?

Reccomended prenatal?

taking PregVit & it’s making me so naseous

Anxiety

First trimester anxiety is a joke🥲 I had slight light bleeding earlier (brown) and I pure cried my eyes out but after lots of convos with my fellow friend CHAT GPT I think it’s all okay as it’s stopped now and I didn’t really have bad cramps just slight ones but I’ve had that for the past week since I found out (I’m 6 weeks 1 day). Has anyone else had this happen to them and it all be okay? I’m gonna go for a early scan at 8 weeks just for reassurance anyway

Nub theory? 🩵 💗

I didn’t want to find out what we were having, but I think the decision has been made for me.. 🤣🥺

High blood pressure

I got high blood pressure after pregnancy and it still hasn't gone back to normal after almost 2 years any suggestions to help lower it without prescription medication because 8m on enough medication already for other reasons

Are you taking antidepressants this pregnancy?

I just started the lowest dose of Zoloft due to issues with depression this pregnancy. Just curious how many other mamas are doing this too and if anyone has been through it before with/without complications.

Overthinking ?!!

My belly feels so strange today! I’m 33 weeks and it feels so hard and heavy. I also haven’t felt baby move much today but he’s normally more active on the night !
I’m not sure whether it’s due to being so hot I haven’t noticed him or whether I should wait and see if he’s active in a few hours?
Has anyone had this ?

Hunger spike

Am I only one who noticed that they had a random spike in hunger at the end of the second trimester just going into the third or is it just me? Because I am eating more than I did in my first or second trimester combined

Pregnancy anxiety

Hello, I know that this is the best place to post because more than likely everyone has gone through this. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I am so anxious. I know there is a small chance but I constantly have in the back of mind that there is a chance of loss until 24 weeks or if not that, that the baby can live outside the womb from 24 weeks. I want her to stay in there until the end (as we all do) and I am sure everything is going to be fine but how do I silence these worries? It’s just constantly in my mind.

I thought you were supposed to feel calm as you approach delivery

Then why tf am I feeling like a raging btch, everything and everybody is irritating me. I’m crying from how irritated I am.
