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?

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?

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

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.

BF mums

Hello BF mums, how long do you plan on BF for? I don’t feel ready to stop and I love the bond it creates between me and my son. However, WHY are people so judgmental about something so natural? Trying to make me feel as I’m not doing me or my child a favour….

Even a doctor made a comment!

No braxtonhicks

I feel like everyone else is moving along but I have nothing. I am 36+3 and still no contractions of any kind. Should I be worried ?

First trimester- Can’t stop eating!

I’m almost 9 weeks pregnant and feel like I’m a bottom less pit, I’m just constantly hungry or just wanting to eat. Is/was anyone else the same at this stage? Some of my clothes are already too tight because I’ve gained wait from eating so much extra. I’m super fatigued 24/7 so wondering if my body is just looking for energy all the time.

Almost there!🙏🏼

Today I went to my 37 week appointment and I got the infamous cervical check. And I got great news in my opinion at least. I am 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. Now im really going to try to get natural labor started! I do have my induction date set for July the 6th. I want to try anything to get this baby out naturally before any medications come into play. My dr said it herself I’m full term and eligible to try anything to get labor started. So if any of you guys have any advice to get labor started that would be so great honestly! And not to be harsh but I don’t need to be told that it’s not safe to wait it out till I’m 39 weeks none of that pleaseeee. I’m going based off of what my dr said. With that being said does anyone have advice pls I’m in pain and ready for my baby to be here😩🫶🏼
